WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Bush and top members of his administration mingled and shared laughs Saturday with Washington reporters, insiders and some outsiders -- including famed British rocker Ozzy Osbourne -- at this year's White House Correspondents dinner.
Comedian Drew Carey was on hand to provide the entertainment during the more than three-hour event, doing stand-up comedy for the president and more than 1,800 guests, from top White House adviser Karl Rove to hard rocker turned reality show star Ozzy Osbourne.

I also came to a point in my life where I had to reject the pop culture because it is at odds with the values which made this country great.
It definitely takes more faith to believe we can maintain a free repblic with such corrosive and destabilizing influences.
Yep.
I posted this thread. I was not a fan (or listener) of Ozzy's until his latest show "The Osbournes" wherein Ozzy comes down hard (and tells all of his listeners to avoid) drugs and alcohol.
But I am sure you are the judgmental type ... you do not forget. Once a druggie, always a druggie. But I hope you take a look at many, many of the lives of the saints who recovered from terrible faults and redeemed themselves. Mary Magdalene (sp) for instance.
I suspect you think you are "perfect" ... or are on the way to it. At the same time you stop to pass judgment on your fellow travelers.
Bugs Bunny is one of my favorites. You are clearly a person without joy. You revel in your distastes. You are one who has to weigh whether one type of music is better than another ... in fact, you remind me of the Taliban.
Yes, I am very saddened by the state of this nation and the almost total lack of vigilance.
Mrs. Osbourne ...
No, I was responding to your hateful message. Or did you forget?
You see yourself as vigilant ... but you are really pompous. I'll bet your have some better music for us to listen to ... something that YOU PERSONALLY approve of.
That was by design to get your goat.
No,we just don't waste our lives worrying about what stupid paranoid idiots insist are evil hidden messages that aren't there.
Take some Geritol you old goat.
It's not wrong to hate something or to be vigilant. But you are clearly trying to cast everyone on this thread who likes rock music as being "inferior", "not vilgilant", not conservative", and certainly not up to your standards.
LOL!! That's a good one,, but I'm not going to go there.
