Mitt Romney Calls Al Gore Fat

Thursday, April 17th, 2008

Last night was the annual Radio/Television Correspondents Association Dinner in Washington, where all the famous teevee stars and radio voices come and make dumb jokes with the Feds. And who was there but Mittens “Mitt” Romney, our favorite hilarious presidential candidate from 2007. And for the first time, he was actually *trying* to be funny. He did this by interrupting some poor CBS news guy and then giving a top 10 list. He calls Al Gore “fat” and it’s mean, because Al Gore is going to be president again. Video below. MORE »


Prince Charles’s Dinner Companions and Their Companions

Wednesday, November 2nd, 2005

Do you have PRINCEMANIA? Can you stand the thought of the PRINCE OF WALES dining right here, in your very area code? Are you hungry for every detail one can scrounge about the royal visit to the White House?

Yeah, we’re the same. However, for the mildly bored and easily amused (do we know our audience or what?), the guest list for tonight’s “Social Dinner” (as opposed to State Dinner) provides the opportunity to play six-degrees-of-Nancy-Reagan (who’s going with Merv Griffin): From now on, Mr. Oscar de la Renta, Designer will have a connection with Lieutenant General Russel L. Honore, USA, Commanding General, First U.S. Army. Oh, and incase you were wondering about who won the date night lottery:

Ms. Mary Cheney
Ms. Heather Poe (Guest)

Miss Jenna Bush
Mr. Henry Hager (Guest)

The Honorable Condoleezza Rice, Secretary of State
Mr. Gene A. Washington, Director of Football Operations, National Football League (Guest)

 Full list after the jump. (Ooooh, look! I broke an embargo!)
