You know, those people are so shallow in the elite circles, that I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of this Bush bashing by the journalists has to do with the fact that the Bush's just aren't the big party-goers....
I have heard that Washington has been just really down because of the difference between the social lives of the Bush's compared to the Clintons....
BOO-FRIGGIN-HOO!!!
That is true .. when Ben and Sally were on LK, she was mentioning the difference in the social scene. Implicit, I think, was her despairing of her imperial "hostess with the mostess" label and no longer being with the upper echelons of power with this group. She relishes being influential in bringing all the important players together for her gatherings; and, as others have reported over the years ... those people would meet and do their schmoozing and dealing. W don't deal .. LOL.
