OZZY'S WHITE HOUSE

WASHINGTON -- They were all desperately trying to hold on until the post-dawn McLaughlin Group anniversary brunch. With lighters waving in the air, the revelers demanded an encore to the Bloomberg party. Rock on and a marathon set, for those who gathered in the nation's capital this weekend for the annual dinner of the White House Correspondents Association [1914-2002]. Bush's Headbanger's Ball.

When White House key adviser Karl Rove made his entrance into the ballroom at the Hilton Hotel, few noticed.

But when gothmetalrockerTVstar Ozzy Osbourne made his: Flash bulbs and pandemonium.

Ozzy, who was guest of freshly-healed Greta Van Susteren of the FOX NEWS CHANNEL, parted the A-list sea as his security shouted, "Move the f#@k out of the way" to black-tied invited dignitaries, like senators, congressmen and cabinet officials.

A day in the life, The Osbournes Go to Washington, a VIACOMMTV crew captured Ozzy from limousine ride to grand entrance. The dinner turned into nothing short of a studio backdrop, with VIACOMPARAMOUNT Sherry Lansing, who was just in from the coast [private jet] with NYDAILYNEWSSALON'S Arianna Huffington smiled and synergied while talking with FATAL ATTRACTION'S Glenn Close, and Wolf Blitzer.

Late Edition.

"Ozzy thinks he's at the White House!" NEW YORK TIMES op-ed queen Maureen Dowd declared. "He really does. He did an interview where he said he was going to meet President Bush at the White House."

"Don't treat celebrities like heroes," comedian Drew Carey implored the 3000 gathered in a monologue that included no less than 8 references to Ozzy.

As White House power player Karl Rove left the ballroom to go to the men's room, few noticed.

CNNDNC's James Carville kissed Bush's Mary Matalin erotically at the head ASSOCIATED PRESS table making even the wire blush with the public display. Carville's threat, "Mary's gonna have to find a new husband" if she takes the Karen Hughes job, seemed to have undergone a write-thru. Witnessed and filed by table-mate Ron Fournier.

AOLTIMEWARNER's Steve Case, worth a few less digits than at last year's dinner, wandered the aisles looking for a new merger while FCC chairman Michael Powell sat a few tables away, again ready to approve.

FORBES' cover boy and "Trillion Dollar Man" [April 29], Powell, smiled when asked if in the near future GE would merge with DISNEY and then merge with VIACOM and then merge with NEWSCORP and then merge, out of pity, with Steve Case's AOLTIMEWARNER.

While dessert was being served Ozzy Osbourne and wife Sharon were urgently ushered to the stage rope line for a face to face with the Commander in Chief nearly trampling National Security Adviser Condoleeza Rice and the Secretary of State.

As White House end-all Karl Rove, perhaps the most powerful unelected individual in the free world, polished off his S'Mores Ice Cream Torte Graham Cracker Crust-Filled with Fudge and Chocolate Ice Cream Toasted Meringue, few noticed.

NEWSWEEK's Evan Thomas, Mark Hosenball, Martha Brant and Roy Gutman won the night's top award for, among other things, Clinton's first out-of-office interview and analysis on the Paula Jones/Tonya Harding FOX celebrity boxing match.

"The Edgar A. Poe Award honors excellence in news coverage of subjects and events of significant national or regional importance, written with fairness and objectivity."

"The thing about Ozzy is, he's made a lot of big hit recordings: "Party With the Animals," "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath," "Face in Hell," "Black Skies'' and "Bloodbath in Paradise,'' President Bush announced.

Rock on.

Matt at his best. Did you know that this story has the liberals so pissed off that they are boycotting Drew and painting Ozzy as every vile thing in the book.

Details! I want details!

"The thing about Ozzy is, he's made a lot of big hit recordings: "Party With the Animals," "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath," "Face in Hell," "Black Skies'' and "Bloodbath in Paradise,'' President Bush announced.

Yes, I think Bush said this. And then his punchline was, "My mom loves your stuff." <|:)~

I thought he said, "Your mom loves your stuff." I could be wrong but I thought that's what I heard.

Is this article written by Drudge himself? I've never read anything he has written and I am now happy to admit that. What wasteful drivel.

Carville Fumes at White House Correspondence Dinner Joke

Carville Fumes at White House Correspondence Dinner Joke

Top Clinton strategist and CNN "Crossfire" cohost James Carville appeared visibly angry Saturday night when comedian Drew Carey entertained the crowd at the annual White House Correspondence Dinner by poking fun at the Democrat's 2000 presidential election loss.

Comparing disgruntled Democrats to Arabs who remain unconvinced that Osama bin Laden was responsible for the 9-11 attacks, Carey told the crowd:

"You know, those Arabs out there, they're not gonna believe anything you do. They don't believe the other tapes we got of Osama bin Laden. They all say it's fake."

Then Carey added, "Isn't that annoying. You get these tapes, here's Osama and they go, 'No, you faked it. The United States faked it.'
It's like trying to convince the Democrats they really lost the election."

As the crowd roared, C-Span cameras zeroed in on Washington power couple James Carville and Mary Matalin. While Matalin threw her head back in hearty laughter, a scowling Carville looked steamed and finally erupted with a verbal outburst that C-Span microphones did not pick up..."

[rintense]

Nope, I heard, 'My mom loves yer stuff.' Dubya almost sounded like the Dell Dude when he said it. Ozzy ate it up. I really think Ozzy enjoyed the moment, but had to have some of the jokes explained to him.

[linn37]

whats up with all the Karl Rove references?

[martin_fierro]

Babs Bush is one dynamite lady. I'm sure she'd laugh loudest at a joke at her expense.

President's mum jokes over paper's 'breast sizes' mistake

Barbara Bush has written a jokey letter to a local newspaper after it misquoted her saying she had three breast sizes during her life.

The former First Lady actually said she had "three dress sizes".

A reporter from The Wichita Eagle in Kansas misheard her when she gave a talk as she opened a community college in El Dorado.

The newspaper ran a correction the following day, but later received a note from Mrs Bush which it used on its letters page.

In it, she says the error gave her children, including current president George W Bush, something to laugh about.

Her letter read: "I've just become abreast of your recent article 'Barbara Bush wows El Dorado'. I am indeed a bosom buddy to two presidents, so I shared some of the things I have learned in 76 years of life. That includes 57 years of married life, six children, 14 grandchildren, five wars, three DRESS sizes, two governors, two parachute jumps and now two presidents.

"Your article has left this generally outspoken mother speechless, but has given my children much to laugh about."

At the end of the typed letter, Mrs Bush added a handwritten note:

"I just wanted to get this off my chest!"

It's so refreshing to see a better class of celebrities in the White House than what were getting in their the last 8 years. Ozzy is too cool to be photographed jumping on the Lincoln bed. The Clinton celebrities were complete total jerks.

[RamsNo1]

Well now we know that this WH does. So much for a president we can respect.

[RamsNo1]

Why is it wasteful drivel? Because it may paint Bush in a different light than what you like or what you know to be the truth?

[snopercod]

A picture is worth 1000 words. So that was worth at least 2000!

Talk about your cognitive dissonance...

[snopercod]

That everybody does what? Defile the office of the presidency.

But then Bush probably didn't let on whether he wears briefs or boxers...

[Dales]

LOL

(Keep trying- maybe no one will notice that you have been posting no different than an anti-bush propagandist since day one. lol)

[linn37]

blah blah blah

[DainBramage]

I wonder if Drudge has a bit of anarchist in him?

I bet he has... at least a time or two.
