OMG - 'The Nussles' serenade Washington
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/03/13/AR2008031304432_pf.html

The president and first lady topped the list of VIPs at the "Stand for Africa" anti-malaria benefit: Condi Rice, Sam Alito, Adrian Fenty, Karl Rove, Bo Derek and Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. "There's nothing more tragic than a young baby dying of a mosquito bite," said the president, who in 2005 launched a $1.2 billion initiative to fight the disease. As usual, Kuwaiti Ambassador Salem al-Sabah and wife Rima brought in the big guns: Oil execs who donated $1.6 million, legendary Senegalese singer Youssou N'Dour. . . and the third annual installment of what we like to call "Administration Idol": OMB Director Jim Nussle strumming a country tune as his wife sang. (In '06, Rice played a piano duet with Marvin Hamlisch; last year, Josh Bolten played guitar behind Randy Travis.) "Mrs. Bush, let me apologize in advance," said Karen Nussle. Oh, it wasn't that bad!

1. I think it's categorically impossible...
...for this NOT to be bad. Spork-out-your-eyes bad.
Did he have a bag on his head?
