If you've done your due diligence regarding those two HUGH!1 topics, then you may have this fluffy piece of dessert:


Sammy DAVIS's wife "befriended" Darth Rums!1

*******QUOTE*******

.... * Following his divorce from May Britt in 1968, Davis was pressured into marrying a black woman. He wed Altovise Gore in 1970 and pressured her into participating in wild parties.

* Among the many men Altovise befriended was former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, whom Davis met in the 1970s when Rumsfeld worked for the Nixon administration. Rumsfeld remained friendly with Altovise after the legendary entertainer's death, even to the point of calling her when she was living in poverty in Pennsylvania in 1993.

* When Sammy's good friend and long-time conductor, George Rhodes, died in 1985, he asked another good friend, the Rev. Jesse Jackson, to give the eulogy. Jackson agreed but for a price: He demanded $5,000 in cash, four first-class plane tickets and two suites at the Four Seasons Hotel. Davis, who was broke, turned to bodyguard Brian Dellow, who took an advance off his credit card to pay Jackson's fee.

* Despite more than $50 million in lifetime earnings, Davis died in 1990 some $15 million in debt, owing more than half to the IRS for investments in bogus tax shelters.

Wait. Is someone trying to tell me Donny Rumsfeld attended wild parties? Are there pictures? Did he bring his friend Dick?
