Jessica Simpson Snubs Bush...

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/03/16/politics/main1409127.shtml
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Concerned about politicizing her favorite charity, singer-actress Jessica Simpson on Wednesday turned down a invitation to meet with U.S. President George W. Bush, a snub that left Republicans dismayed.

The apparent final word that Simpson would be a no-show at a major Republican fund-raiser with Bush and congressional leaders on Thursday night came after a day of conflicting reports from her camp and organizers of the event.

People close to Simpson said she declined a request to appear that same evening at the gala fund-raiser of the National Republican Congressional Committee -- even after she was offered some private face time with Bush -- because Operation Smile is a non-partisan group.

1. She just went up a few points in my book

Now if world leaders would do the same, as they should.

3. I gotta say, I find it discouraging

that so many DUers think that this is worthy of posting a thread. This is at least the sixth.
