"Laura" has always been one of my all-time very favorites, along with "Speak Low," so I've been in heaven watching every ball, and they play "Laura" for the First Couple's dance.

I don't know why, maybe because I was so emotional during the 2000 Inauguration, but I just don't remember them playing that song for them.

The movie it's from, "Laura," is a haunting old-time movie.

"Cast:
Gene Tierney, Dana Andrews, Clifton Webb, Vincent Price, and Judith Anderson

Overview:
High style is the hallmark of this intelligently written mystery about a circle of suspicious Manhattan society folks who knew the dead Laura. Webb is delicious as the acid-tongued newspaper columnist. Detective Andrews falls in love with Laura, although he's never met her. David Raksin’s theme music is haunting." -- who knew "haunting would be in the review, too.

Well, Andrew will probably come creeping back to our side.

Tommy LaSorda on, at CIC Ball, saying he has had tears in his eyes about 15 times.

Says the troops are so great. President, Veep, Dad Bush, and lots of others have stopped by to speak.

Some hag was on CSpan tonight carping that while Laura did indeed pay for her Oscar da Renta outfits, she paid much less than retail. I wonder if Hillary paid retail for the gown he did for her for the second inaugural. Her gown for the first inaugural was hideous, a purple (royal) lace number done by an Arkansas designer who is now out of business, lol. And yes I remember seeing the photo of the granny dress she got married in and reading that she and her Mom went shopping shortly before the wedding and bought it off the rack.

Mabelkitty, I trust you that they're expensive.

Nothing off the rack could be so stunning.

I've broken my own cardinal rule learned here on FR - "Don't believe the liberal media!"

Sorry Per, tell your wife I was misguided, or gullible as it may be.

Well, I haven't heard her since this afternoon. I ended up sleeping most of the afternoon cause I developed a bad cold yesterday. I woke up in time to catch the President and First Lady at two of the balls. Wish I had seen them at the CIC ball, but I was down here freeping at the time. ;o) I understand that the CIC ball was free to active duty military!

I know that Peggy took a leave from the Wall Street Journal during the campaign to work for a candidate, but she never said who it was. She's always one to critique speeches cause writing is her profession.

I couldn't care less what Alan Colmes has to say on a night like tonight.

I know what you mean. My reaction was, "Can't you give it a rest just for tonight, Alan?"

I am waiting to see if Greta has more coverage or if she reverts to Scott Peterson stuff. I need to go to bed, since I have been up since 4 AM (I wasn't a bit excited).

Methinks she's a little bitter that she's on the outside looking in now

How long has she been on the outside and how did that come about, if you know?

Frankly, this is the first time Peggy ever said something less than flattering about any of his speeches and although I was shocked, I took it from someone who seems to respect our President and was giving an honest assessment. When Brit asked her earlier what she thought, she was non-committal and I assumed something he said didn't sit well with her. I'd rather believe that than to believe there might be sour grapes involved.
