I've been invited to dinner at the white house

[wideopen]

I just got a call, at my office, from congressman Reynolds rep. wanting me to attend a dinner for bush. WTF?

[Kikosexy2]

1. Go ...

honey and trash that party!

[bitchkitty]

2. Give him a message from me? n/t

[Walt Starr]

3. I strongly urge you to attend.

Couldn't hurt. Might be a hoot!

[FreedomAngel82]

14. Yes

If you have to pay for it though, depending on the prices, I wouldn't go if it was outrages. But then again that's just me. You might learn something new about a plan or something. Never know. :)

[Ron Green]

4. Maybe this is your chance to yell a quick message at him before they

remove you. I think that's what I'd do.

[Earth_First]

8. I KNOW this would be my decision... nt

[grumpy old fart]

5. WTF indeed.....what's the occasion?

And don't forget to NOT be polite!

[wideopen]

11. I don't know

I asked where it was and what it cost, he said in D.C. and the cost
"was yet to be established" he wanted to play a recorded message for me but when I told him "I'd never give that worthless sack of shit a dime" he hung up.

[Mr_Spock]

6. Get a vantriliquism kit and let out quips from time to time

Like "lying murderer" and "mental midget"

[greenbriar]

7. I would go and

ask intelligent questions that shrub can't answer and then record them for posterity

[papau]

9. I got one for a dinner with Sec Snow! - and I am not going!

(I see no need to hike to DC in May to hear some more lies!)

[wideopen]

29. Did they call you at work

and know your name?

[papau]

39. email - a 2300 person list of folks working in pensions and Soc Security

So I am "special" in that someone put me on that "interest" list!

I think they actually expect more than 2000 to have a meal with Snow and hear him speak.
=========================================================

on edit:

Now you made me actually click on the link to see what it was all about!

Seems Treasury Secretary John Snow ("leading the Bush Administration’s efforts to reform Social Security, pension funding, and the federal tax code") will give the luncheon address at the Washington, D.C. Convention Center on Tuesday, May 3, 2005 for the American Academy of Actuaries members who wish to attend.

So the 2300 names on my email are only a part of the invite since there are 15,000 in the American Academy of Actuaries.

But I still feel special! :-)

[AutumnMist]

10. Go

My Father who was involved in liberal politics, often went to Republican parties when invited. Not to show his support mind you. But to show the Conservatives what an ass' kicking intelligent Democrat could do. Go and speak your mind.

[wideopen]

23. I'd really like to go but

I'd have a hard time justifying a couple grand to do it.

[ultraist]

34. It's a fundraiser! GIve your money to someone who is worthy of it

I bet it is a LOT more than a couple of grand too.

[wideopen]

38. Your probably right

[Emboldened Chimp]

12. Go and report back

[walldude]

13. GO! You know the things we see

are only the tip of the iceberg. I have often wondered what it would be like to be a fly on the wall at a Bush event, ever since Fahrenheit 9/11 where Bush spoke to the "I call you my base" people.
Just make sure you shower before and after ;)

[Wilms]

15. Is * cooking?

[underpants]

16. I'd go

I doubt I would make a scene either. How often could this chance come up?

[wideopen]

18. only problem

is I live in KY. Why would they be calling me? especially at work?

[underpants]

20. Hmm I don't know

that is strange

[wideopen]

27. probably

never again now.

[TahitiNut]

17. A dinner FOR bush ... it's nothing but fund-raising.

Typical.

[seventythree]

19. do they do fund raising dinners AT the White House?

shoot -- I thought they only did thing like state dinners at OUR house.

[wideopen]

25. I believe he said

the white house but it very well could have been DC. I was kind of in shock when I realized what was happening.

[immoderate]

21. All the pork rinds you can eat! Yay!

--IMM

[natrat]

22. i would not go just so you can tell your grandkids you tuned shrub down

[grumpy old fart]

24. Misleading thread...no WH dinner....just a fundraiser some where....

no harm, but it's not what you represented....

[wideopen]

28. certainly not intended

95% sure it was White House, as "honored guest". I'm sure it's just stupid fund-raising but the point is, Why me? I've NEVER been called at work for political stuff.

[grumpy old fart]

32. I get fund raising crap all the time from Repukes....

both at home and the office, though I do relish the live calls where I can tell 'em what I really think!

[Generic Other]

26. Mmmm...soylent green

[wideopen]

33. WTF?

[Generic Other]

40. Reptilians don't eat the same stuff the rest of us do

I was just trying to warn you. Sorry.

:shrug:

[wideopen]

41. No thank you

I think I'll have the chicken.

[MisterP]

30. I hope you like bananas

[WilmywoodNCparalegal]

31. So did my boss...

who's as left-leaning as Lenin's left arm.

One time, I got a letter with invitation, telling me how good a donor I had been and for that I would be invited to a fundraising BBQ with * and Dick Cheney...

I never donated 1 penny to these warmongers... but I kept the invitation for a good laugh!

[wideopen]

35. They probably

think I will give because I own a construction co. The national home builders ass. is overwhelmingly repub.

[Vinca]

36. Would it be tacky to bring along a bag of pretzels as a gift?? nt

[wideopen]

37. they might classify

them as a WMD and arrest me as a terrorist.

[riverwalker]

42. ask the maids and staff

about Gannon/Guckert..yeah...yeah...we know about the confidentiality clause....but c'mon.....who is it?

[wideopen]

43. I'm sure they would be afraid

to talk to anyone, they know the consequences.

[Itsthetruth]

44. I Would Give Bush My Banana

I would give Bush my banana.

No .... not that one! I'm straight.

Do they let you feed the monkeys at the White House?

[wideopen]

45. It always amazes me

how so many people here have the ability to do all these great pictures. I have no idea how to post a photo, much less create something like that! wow!
