Jessica Simpson snubs Bush

LOS ANGELES, California (Reuters) -- Concerned about politicizing her favorite charity, singer-actress Jessica Simpson Wednesday turned down a invitation to meet with President 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 Thursday night came after a day of conflicting reports from her camp and organizers of the event.

The blond star of the film "The Dukes of Hazzard" still plans to visit Washington Thursday to lobby members of Congress on behalf of Operation Smile, a non-profit venture offering free plastic surgery for disadvantaged children overseas with facial deformities.

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.

I don't know - this may make reconsider my party affiliation. If Toby Keith abandons the President, I'm becoming a Democrat.

I know, someone from Reuters no less. Probably a space/time filler for one of their government reporters.

At first glance, I thought this said "Jessica Simpson snubs Rush."

And who would have thought that TKE would have posted it.

But hold on, he's going to cry now that anybody once again noticed he posts stuff like this.

If Jessica's dad is still her manager, most likely he was the one to have said no to the Republican Committee if they didn't meet his asking price for her appearance.

ding ding ding we have a winner.

The old Reverend Joe, run off from the church in Richardson Texas, where he was the youth minister, is a bit of a jerk.

Jessica wasn't a bad kid in high school, but her Daddy is another story.

We are talking about Jessica Simpson. She didn't snub the President. She probably doesn't even know George Bush is the President.
