Bush wants to use the "Jessica Simpson" jinx on the Democratic Convention

[LTR]

WASHINGTON - Add this to the lore of championship ceremonies at the White House: President Bush believes in the Jessica Simpson jinx.

Bush, a Texas guy, lauded the New York Giants on Wednesday for winning the Super Bowl. Any football championship is big to the team and its fans, but this one was all the sweeter because it required a riveting, comeback effort against the New England Patriots, who were heavily favored and had not lost all year.

The president noted that along the way the Giants vanquished a team from his home state — the Dallas Cowboys. Many Dallas fans pinned their team's surprise playoff loss not on the Giants, but on Simpson. Seems the singer-actress was accused of being a distraction to her boyfriend, Dallas quarterback Tony Romo.

Apparently, Bush bought in.

"I'm a good sport," Bush said at the South Lawn ceremony. "We're going to send Jessica Simpson to the Democrat National Convention."

Hardy har har. I suspect the Bush administration is somehow jinxed.

1. I'm not worried.

* is sending her to the "Democrat" National Convention, not the Democratic National Convention. Simpson will be at the wrong one and by the time she figures it out, the Convention will be over.

2. The more important question is...

Will the RNC send Bush to the Republican convention? Or are they worried about him being a jinx?

3. Jessica turned down an invite to a Bush White House GOP fundraiser, I recall

The official explanation was that as a representative of the non-partisan Operation Smile, she couldn't attend a partisan event. But I think it had more to do with not wanting to seen within twenty miles of that loser!
