Are they a couple, or just friends?

A couple, from all I've read.

Ann Compton reported on this shindig. She noted that President Bush would have to figure out what fork to use for each course of the meal.

GWB has more manners in his little finger than Ann Compton has in her whole body. The lie that he is rough around the edges is just that, a lie. W prefers casual, but he was brought up well and can behave well in any circumstance.

For desert, raspberry meringue, dark chocolate sorbet and mint granita will be served.

Yum! I could use a tub of that tonight!

Yes, and David Gregory! When did he learn to behave in public - the little nose-pincher himself.

RE: Harry Reid

Don’t get too excited. He was invited, but said he’s too set in his ways for a white tie dinner.

Or perhaps it could be that somebody told him that, unlike President Bush's passivity towards Reid's punkish behavior, Her Majesty's sovereign coat of arms, the Arms of Dominion, indicates his boorish behavior might not fare as well with her, as her motto states:

In Scotland, the monarch uses an alternative form of the Arms of Dominion in which quarters I and IV represent Scotland, II England, and III Ireland. The motto is Nemo me impune lacessit (Latin for "No-one provokes me with impunity")

My invitation was “Lost in the Mail.”

Wouldn't you know--my dog ate mine.

Hey, this looks like “Ol’ Snake-eyes” himself (James Carville), but with hair. Lots of hair.

Harry & Mrs. Reid were invited but REFUSED to attend.

Class always tells sooner or later.

The guy may be infinitely wealthy but has absolutely NO CLASS! (Where as the "lovely" Nancy "the eyes" Pelosi has lots of $$$, still NO CLASS but doesn't plan on being MIA at such an important event.)

Notice no Harry Reid. That’s what you get when you call the President a liar.

According to the news over the weekend he was invited and declined.

My only thought is she is speaker of the house. Ugh. I hate to even say it 'outloud'.

Gee, Her Royal Highness Queen Nancy has lately been sooooooo busy on her taxpayer funded world tour, but I guess she wouldn't keep another Queen waiting. (I wouldn't mind a world tour...)

She looks like a refugee from the newer Star Treck. Is she related to The Snakehead ?

I wish he would have played with Condi. Lots of NFL represented for the Queen: Gene Washington, Peyton Manning, and Tim Hasselbeck (with Liz). Can’t wait to hear Rosie wonder why she wasn’t invited tomorrow.
