#1 The organizers are wussies. They missed a good opportunity to send Iran a strong message.

#3 I heard in an interview with one of the organizers that they were really writhing over this, and it's their own fault.

They intended to invite both Hillary and Sarah to the event in the double hope that it would raise its profile and maybe become a soft-glove partisan slug-fest. But Hillary wanted nothing to do with it on those terms.

Then by dis-inviting Sarah, they really get kicked in the teeth, because it makes them look like bad hosts, which is a serious faux pas to a lot of their members. Like asking a relative to not come to a wedding, because the bride thinks they're ugly.

#4 Doesn't the bride disinvite other women because she thinks they're too pretty?

Now, now, you know that mommy Michelle (Obama) said that we shouldn't vote for someone because they are pretty... of course voting for them because of the color of their skin is ok - in fact the DNC message is that if you don't then your a racist.

#6 Only stupidly insecure brides surround themselves with plain bridesmaids, just as stupidly insecure executives surround themselves with less than the best advisers. In fact, one of the things I admire about President Bush is the caliber of the men and women he tapped for his cabinet, because their luster enhances his own.

#7 TW,

In my opinion some of the cabinet picks were not very capable.

Mineta at Transportation
Gonzales at Justice
Jackson at HUD

#8 I'm sure you're better qualified to judge than I, mhw, but VP Cheney was a prize catch, and I still admire Mr. Rumsfeld and current Secretary of Defence Gates. Not to mention General Petreus and amusing Mr. Rove.
