I bumped into many people - we were next to John Legend and his fiancee and the British ambassador and his wife at dinner - and did have a brief and warm chat with the president. I think such things should remain confidential, but you should know that there's a Dish-reader in the Oval Office, and "not just the political stuff." So don't feel too guilty about our regular dips into pop-culture, high and low. POTUS gets the mix.
There were several openly gay couples present, which is change you really can believe in, and we entered with the future HRC head, Chad Griffin and his boyfriend. I also didn't realize the impact that the Newsweek Obama cover-story had on Obama donors and staffers until last night. So many people mentioned it. Oh, and George Clooney came up to say hi. Not since Jon Hamm came out as a Dish reader at the White House Correspondents' Dinner did such a shiver go up my leg.

That's the link provided in the OP.

iBook to load.
Well, then, I'm glad he DOES have Dish-reader!
Thanks pacalo!

(63 posts)4. Check Out Sullivan's Blog, It's Excellent
Good mixture of politics, pop culture and current events with some philosophy and poetry thrown in. He's a good writer too and it helps that he's a big Obama supporter.
