While world burns, White House parties.
*
Well, as the world burns down with riots and protests, the White House was able to find time in its 'busy schedule' to throw yet another party.
*
I guess Big O's basketball buddies were home licking their bruises from all the bumping and fouling inflicted by the Pres.
*
Therefore, there must have been an opening on the President’s schedule.
*
Why address the crisis in the Middle East when you can party instead, right?
*
Oh, but the president deserves the occasional R & R say his lackeys.
*
Occasional? I do not recall one single president, maybe except Eisenhower that did not spend so much time playing sports, like basketball and golf, plus the not yet recognized sport of 'See who can flick a cigarette butt the farthest.'
*
Well, maybe I left one or two, J.F.K. and Slick Willy, who loved to wrestle the opposite sex. Ha, ha, that's right, Slick Willy loved 'the standing 'broad' jump'!
*
While J.F.K. also loved swimming in his custom built basement pool, except he loved to do it in the buff with some gal named M.M. who soon after was found dead from an overdose. Overdose of what, mafia thugs?
*
Well, they all had their sporting passions.
*
Gerald Ford was great at slapstick humor, pratt-falling whenever you least expected it.
*
Richard Nixon loved to play hide and seek in Democratic offices.
*
L.B.J. used to love hunting, specially political rivals, (just gave you a huge clue Brad Meltzer gave me).
*
George H.W. Bush loved for you to try to read his lips while speaking off both sides of his mouth.
*
Son Dubbya used to trip over his tongue pretty well.
*
F.D.R. played Monopoly a lot, except he usually ended giving away his property to the Ruskies. He could not play physical sports, but was pretty fast on wheels.
*
Harry Truman loved hockey. Historians cosmetically altered his famous phrase. He actually said, "The puck stops here."
*
Herbert Hoover loved rowing. But was no good at it. He sank the US economy.
*
Only Jimmy Carter did not engage in any sport. He was a failure at anything he tried to do.
*
Hey, it is not disrespect when it happens to be true, so keep your dirty language to yourself!
*
Want proof? I got it from Brad Meltzer, ask him. He even knows where Jimmy Hoffa is buried, no kiddin'. He also knows what happened to all the people that suddenly disappeared into thin air from the 'grassy knoll' in Dallas.
*
So why should 'Big O' be any different?
*
He sure loves to party. Just ask his buddies in college. Oh, wait, nobody has ever met anyone that knew him in college. Sorry.
*
Among his guests at the 'private' party was singer Johnny Legend. The punch must have been spiked a bit, as after a few drinks Johnny Legend approached the Pres and complained about tax cuts, saying that as a millionaire he did not need them. He even said we should all send a check to the I.R.S. to help with the deficit.
*
Johnny, you sure are a legend. In your own mind.
*
But perhaps he may not have been sauced up at all. At one point, just before they saw him being escorted out by some guys in black suits he said that he did not know a single friend in Hollywood that contributed one cent to the government and in fact tried to avoid contributing anything at all, except their presence whenever 'Big O' paid a visit.
*
And of course, 'Big O' has a preference for dark-skinned entertainers. Not only was Johnny Legend there, but also Jamie Foxx and Seal. Cheryl Crow was the token white gal.
*
'Big O' asked Seal why the scar on his face and before Seal could reply he said with his toothy, room-illuminating grin, "I know, playing B-ball with a girl, right?" and then he walked away laughing at his own attempt at a joke.
*
Heck, if I had a party I would invite those I would feel comfortable with, like perhaps Bono, Steven Tyler, and Mick Jagger, with whom I bet I could have a fun conversation, cool cats all three. And to mix it up I would add a K.D. Lang. Now that would be interesting! With a little tent with one person I have just about included all minorities. If only she were black. But she is part native North American, though. Yes, really.
*
So......., while the world burns what is in the Pres' busy agenda tonight, a replay of last weekend's NBA All Star game?
*
Somehow it came to mind that last week, in a national poll Ronald Reagan was named the greatest president in US history. No kiddin'
*
And this guy says he wants to leave a similar legacy?
*
Keep your day job, coaching Saha's B-Ball team while the world falls apart.
