It's funny how each of us remembers different things, lol. 2001 was a long time ago now... hard to believe.
I wish I could see/hear McCain's speech again from that night. I do vaguely remember that he gave a very good, funny speech. I remember all the speeches were interesting to me, as I was new to politics.
I admit I was kind of star-struck seeing Trump up on that dais in 2001. First time I had ever seen him in person, and I guess it surprised me that he was at a Republican political event. (We have since seen Trump several times at CPAC, and a few weeks ago in Milford, NH)
Cindy used to come to all our events, along with Lionel Hampton and Tony Randall. I don’t remember Trump being there but I’m sure zelig is correct.
Lionel Hampton and Tony Randall? Were they Republicans??
Yup. Most were reluctant to appear in public at Republican events because it could hurt their careers, Hollywood being the communist rats’ nest that it is.
Reminds me that McCain said something that night about reading the New York Times . . . and other communist publications.
When we had the dinner at a different place, Tony Randall said he had had the fish or the chicken, he couldn’t tell which one it was, and Cindy put it in her column.
