WH state dinner for the Queen: Condi's bringing her NFL pal
Maybe Condi is rethinking her desire to change careers? Or since Waxman's breathing down her neck, maybe her NFL buddy can run some blocks for her?

1. She's just trying to make George jealous.
Perhaps he'll make a scene.

17. LOL! That first picture of the queen!
That's the same look I have on my face every holiday when my sister-in-law comes to visit, and I'm always thinking to myself "Lord , just get me through this".

And I have to add

David Gregory's wife is beautiful, and so is that dress..but that dress on his wife? Not so much. It seems like the dress is wearing her. Kissinger's wife (Also a beautiful woman) made me laugh out loud..that was certainly a courageous choice.

18. Let me tell you how absurdly TELLING it is that Bush started to sit down
before QE2.

Think about how out of touch this is in the rude department. And I am not talking about the fact that she is a woman, I am talking about the fact that she is his GUEST, and she is also QE2.

20. That blue dress on Mrs Kissinger makes her look like a linebacker.
How many NFL teams need help at the linebacker position?

19. I'm surprised that no one from Fox was invited
I wonder how they feel about that. Also Rush, Laura and the other hosts weren't invited.

That's funny.
