Fruity piano-man Michael Feinstein--the Liberace of his generation--played at our anti-gay president's Valentine's Day party last night. How fun! I wonder: did he get to bring a date? Maybe someone he'd like to marry one day?
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Some women get flowers, others jewelry. This year, first lady Laura Bush got a formal dinner and an intimate concert by a well-known crooner from her valentine.
For the second year in a row, President Bush and his wife spent the lovers' holiday formally entertaining about 100 friends and associates at the White House.
Singer Michael Feinstein capped the romantic evening by serenading the crowd, which included new Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, actor Chuck Norris -- wearing black cowboy boots with his tux, of course -- singer Wayne Newton and Sens. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and Joe Lieberman, D-Conn.
Feinstein brought a big smile to the first lady's face with a version of Johnny Mercer's "Laura." He sang for about a half-hour, concluding with Jerry Lee Lewis' "Great Balls of Fire."
Hail, hail, rock 'n' roll!
