[Laura PourMeADrink]

5 Democrats, 5 Republicans

Who would you invite to a dinner party??


Moi:


Chris Matthews
Hillary Clinton
Mario Cuomo
Jon Stewart
Denis Leary

Pat Buchanan
Joan Rivers
Joe Scarborough
Peggy Noonan
John McCain (get him drunk and find out what he really thinks about Palin)

[rurallib]

1. living people only?

Bernie Sanders
Keith Olbermann
Rachel Maddow
Amy Goodman
Sam Seder
(not sure if any of these are Democrats, but they sure are lefty)

Repubs (I really can't think of a one I would want in the same room as me But ...)
Sarah Palin
David Koch (I would charge him for the meal)
Dick Armey
W (just so he would have to listen to others talk about what he's done)
One of them christianists like the guy that runs AFA

it would be like a Maher show. Hopefully the rich and religious would see how much they are loved.

2. I wouldn't invite any republicans because they'd eat all the food.

3. my list

Democrats:
Stephen Colbert
Keith Olbermann
Rachel Maddow
Bernie Sanders
Barbara Boxer

Republicans:
Megan McCain
Shannen Doherty
Dana Loesch
Carrie Prejean
Elizabeth Hasselback

I don't really think most modern day republicans have anything worthwhile to say, so I would invite the 5 women so I'd at least enjoy the view...

7. Is Lowell Weicker still around? I grew up there and he was actually

a repuke we didn't mind too much.

[NewJeffCT]

10. He is still around

he became an independent several years back, or I would have listed him as well.

Somebody once asked him that since he mostly agreed with the Democrats on the issues, why didn't he just become a Democrat - and, his response was something like, "because Democrats have no ____" (I think he said "balls", but he may have said "guts" or "spine" - I tried googling it a while ago and couldn't find anything.

4. ok --

Jimmy Carter
Al Gore
Bernie Sanders
Alan Grayson
Gabrielle Gifford


Colin Powell
Ron Paul
Jon Huntsman
Shephard Smith
Alci Maldonado

[Laura PourMeADrink]

8. It'd be hard to keep Ron Paul from whining. : >) Is Shep Smith

a repub? Is it just because he's on Fox? He's gotten himself
in trouble a couple times, though, hasn't he. Bet he'd be
interesting - especially his take on Katrina.

5. Hmmm...

Democrats

President Obama
Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor
Senator Al Franken
Robert Kennedy Jr.
Caroline Kennedy

Republicans

Senator Susan Collins
Senator Olympia Snowe
Senator Lisa Murkowski
Senator Scott Brown
Retired Lieutenant General Russel L. Honoré

[Laura PourMeADrink]

6. wow...love the addition of Gen Honore ! I looked at this more like

who I thought would be interesting and "fun", so, would have to drop collins and snow, haha

Gen Honore's a republican? who knew.

[Tx4obama]

9. Well...

I included Collins and Snowe because they are more moderate than most of the other republican senators, and I would not want to have a very conservative republican at my dinner table ;)

And as far as Russel Honore, I was going by what his bio at wikipedia says:

Excerpt: In late August 2009, there were reports that Honoré would run for U.S. Senate in 2010 in his native Louisiana as a Republican against incumbent Republican Senator David Vitter.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russel_L._Honor%C3%A9

I don't know if the reports were true or not, but to me he seems like he would be a dem and not a goper. But I had to have an extra person to put into the republican category - I think he would be a great person to have as a guest at dinner no matter what his party affiliation is :)
