Cabinet Spouses Have Their Last Supper

Posted Jan 17th 2009 3:30AM by TMZ Staff

With no good times to reminisce on, the spouses of George W. Bush's cabinet gathered together this week for a final luncheon that at least featured some good eats.

Georgetown's 1789 Restaurant hosted the affair on Wednesday, which featured Laura Bush and Lynne Cheney. The main course featured gave the spouses three options:

-- Roasted free range chicken with Jerusalem artichoke purée, roasted fennel, hedgehog mushrooms and chicken jus.

-- Maryland style crab cakes with parsley spaetzle, honey glazed baby parsnips, roasted hazelnuts and Madeira

-- Chesapeake Bay rockfish with Nantucket Bay scallops, black trumpet mushrooms, celery root and smoked golden trout roe.

None of which could mask the bitter taste of the last eight years.

7. You people lack common sense.
Look at yourselves - your job of ridiculing,mocking, berating others.
God will repay you some day.
I bet you can't even intelligently give reason for that hate .
Only Christ can change that stoney heart and make it a heart of LOVE>
Sorry bunch you all are.

8. Could you be just a little thankful that there have been no additional attacks on our soil? (Other than the onslaught of illegal immigrants) We are already seeing that Obama has more respect for Bush now that he has been exposed to the daily security briefings. Like Bush said, after 9/11 you were able to go back to living your normal life but he never could. He made some mistakes but a little appreciation for his successes should be shown. Why do liberals always have to be so hateful?

10. Stick to entertainment reporting TMZ. You don't have the chops to compete with The Daily Kos, Huffington Post, etc.

11. Completely disrespectful. When any of the TMZ crowd accomplishes one iota of anything, THEN and only THEN can you ridicule these people.

12. If I hear one more person say that America is safer because of Bush, I'm going to freak out. He ignored the security briefings that might have possibly prevented 9/11 and is singlehandedly responsible for getting this country in a war (Iraq) that has done anything but make the world a safer place. Plus, I'm pretty sure any remotely competent President would have taken homeland security measures in response to 9/11, and, UNLIKE Bush, they probably would have stayed focused on catching the people responsible for it. I'm ashamed that our country (kinda sorta) elected him, twice.

13. Absolutely uncalled for final jab and insult. TMZ is the sewer of entertainment reporting. NONE WORSE. Only mathews and obermun (spelling intentional) can top this insult. When TMZ keeps us safe for 7 years from terrorist assaults then I might give you a smidgen of praise. Now you deserve only contempt. Bush waited for 4 months for a stupid democrat congress to confirm his appointments to his cabinet. Bammie has his already approved even before the inauguration. CAN YOU NAME EVEN ONE that does not have a serious ethical problem? EVEN ONE. What a CHANGE we are getting. Only retreads and all crooks. TMZ will have a lot of catching up if they are going to insult real crooks and forget about insulting the people who made your sorry existences possible for the last 7 years.
