I think Wayne Newton will do a good job. He is no Bob Hope but having Newton is so much better then some actor or entertainter that has spoken out against Bush. Newton as far as I know might even be a Republican, not sure.
We only met Wayne Newton once, when I took Snow Bunny over to his office where he is lining up the acts for the USO show. He was very nice to both of us.
One of our favorite movies Wayne Newton is in is called " Las Vegas Vacation" , Newton is hilarious in it.
