In Washington, bigwigs can misspeak and misstep a million times without drawing attention. And then there are the seemingly harmless moments that stick to a person like super glue: Joe Wilson barking You lie!; Jesse Jackson mumbling into a hot mic that he wants to castrate Barack Obama; Dan Quayle trying to spell things.
Like coal crushed into diamonds by the pressure of a million eyeballs, such moments are forever.
During an exclusive dinner hosted Monday by the Alfalfa Club, Obama adviser Valerie Jarret had just such a moment. And were it not for an irritated tipster, Jarret might have walked away from the dinner unblemished.
According to our tipster, Jarrett was seated at the head table along with several other big-name politicians and a handful of high-ranking military officials. As an officer sporting several stars walked past Jarrett, she signaled for his attention and said, Id like another glass of wine.

Remember when Madelaine Albright was mistaken for the cleaning lady in Russia at a meeting? Worse. I remember when she was mistaken for the Secretary of State.
Gads, what an embarrassment *that* was.
Today is a good day to die.
I didn't say for whom.

Not unbelievable: Mess Dress uniforms invite confusing the wearers with waiters. Lots of officers have stories along those lines, either it happened to them or it happened to someone they know.

A favorite story of Thurgood Marshall: Marshall was the sole occupant of the private justice’s elevator, when some unsuspecting tourists wandered into it. Finding a lone black man there they said, “First floor please.” “Yowsa, Yowsa,” responded Marshall as he pretended to operate the self service elevator. After holding the door for the tourists as they exited, he also left the elevator, noting their puzzlement and then confusion as he walked off and they realized who he was.

The liberals I know think they’re the ones who have the education and sophistication to run things properly. The historian-type liberals I know (who are fewer than you might think) realize that creating their own SA is a mistake. Grassroot, violent organizations tend to get out of hand.
Regardless of what Beck might say, their strategy of working within the U.S. and State governments is working quite well, and there’s no reason to change procedures. Forming a paramilitary could go wrong quite quickly, and they know it.

The guy dutifully went up and got her a glass of wine, and then came back and gave it to her and took a seat at the table, our tipster said.
Reminds me when a buddy of mine who was a chef was at a statewide cooking competition at a restaurant convention. He was wearing his short-sleeved work shirt while taking out some garbage, and another chef, apparently thinking he was a dishwasher, told him to take his garbage out, too.
My buddy said nothing and took the garbage out just like the other chef asked. He then proceeded to mop the floor with him in the cook-off and win first place.

Remember when Madelaine Albright was mistaken for the cleaning lady in Russia at a meeting? Remember the photo of Condoleza Rice sitting in a meeting with Arabic diplomats with her long, shapely legs appealing crossed to one side? She had their full attention as they leaned forward in their chairs, hanging on to her every word. And then there's the Hildabeast chasing after an Arabic head of state as he assiduously avoids her. (Sigh)

Vanessa’s story fails if anyone thinks about it. WH help don’t dress in formal at State Dinners, as all guests do. Not really likely even a dumbarse friend of the Clintons, who are so into ‘celebrity,’ would either not know who Vanessa Williams was or ask a formally dressed woman - black, white, yellow or red - to perform a servant’s function.

She’s disgusting, and the amount of power she has behind the scenes is sickening. How is a slumlord qualified to run the WH?
And it’s also disgusting that no one at the table had the guts to discreetly correct this classless affirmative action moron. Not that I would have done it discreetly.
