As I posted earlier:

"What a joke, Matt Drudge trying to make a big deal out of Rove not attending the big White House party tonight.
Scooter Libby was there, Steven Hadley too. I suspect Rove just got lucky. "

I can't find one thing on that menu that I would want to eat, so I would stay home too!

If I were Drudge, I would have made a bigger deal out of Tom DeLay being invited. That's gotta tweek the Democrats' noses.

He was hob knobbing with the Prime Minister of India. No doubt hoping to get some actual technical support for his Dell.

"I wondered why Fred Barnes wasn't on the Fox News panel tonight."

I missed the S.R. panel this evening. Did they talk about Rove? If so what did they say?

Two comments on invitees:
1) J.W. Stewart Jr., CEO and Chairman, BJ Services, and Anne Stewart - I think I would change my company's name...unless Monica is a VP there.
2) Mrs. Indra Nooyi, President and CFO, PepsiCo Inc., and Raj Nooyi. This is the woman who, during a speech to a MBA class (at Columbia, I belive) illustrated the world as a hand the the U.S. is the middle finger.
