"So?"
Just the messenger -- just posting the "news."
Anyone remember the famous photo of Bush, Card, Rove taken on 9/11/01? Perhaps Rove declined the invitation. That's my guess.
Jindal on list.
Drudge, all the Drama! Not.
Drudge: Apu Nahasapeemapetilon left off White House dinner list!
I spotted offerings on the menu that I worm my dog with.
No date for Condi?
The menu looks like a huge salad buffet. Not my idea of a dinner "out" either.
"For the second day in a row, Karl Rove was at President Bush's side in a highly public appearance on Friday, a signal that Mr. Bush continues to support him" - from the liberal rag, the NY Times
Nope! The halibut just doesn't do it for me. ;o)
Is that pic supposed to somehow mimic that famous Beatles album pic?
Matt wasn't on the list either.
But he is third in line instead of second!!!!!
I don't know - I sort of would like to taste that "basmati rice with currants and pistachios"
When I was growing up, pistachio was a common ice cream flavor. Now it is sort of hard to find. Everything is a variant of "cookie dough".
Is anyone missing their shoes? That means they died.
Hot off the Drudgeline... BREAKING... (wind) again!
I'd be surprised if Rove did attend all such events.
What might some of those things be in case I have use for them? :o)
Matt... when is Karl making his next trip to the bathroom?
