I wish someone would ask us to the National Press Club. We could do a roast!

Love,

Monica, Paula, and Gennifer

I've gotta say, "So what?" Does it really matter who organized it?

Number one: This is old news and has been debunked thouroughly:

The National Press Club is a forum for hearing from and asking questions of newsworthy individuals. Therefore, as president of the National Press Club, I invited Wright to speak. Its as simple as that.

The mountain of news coverage generated from yesterdays event suggests this was a good idea and in keeping with our traditions.

Those traditions include vetting potential speakers through our Speakers Committee which is made up of Press Club members. In March the committee decided to invite Rev. Wright (who had been suggested as a speaker two years ago. At that time, the committee did not pursue him as a guest).

The formal invitation from the president was sent to Wright. Barbara Reynolds, a member of the Speakers Committee, was asked to coordinate the event because she knew Wright or had a contact in his church.

It is our practice to assign a speaker/potential speaker to a committee member who has a contact with that person. Among the organizer's duties are serving as the Press Club point of contact for the speaker/speaker's organization, writing the press release about the event, inviting Club members to sit at the head table, sitting next to the guest at the head table, and drafting an introduction for the president.

Let me re-emphasize that the people who are invited to address a Press Club luncheon receive their invitations because of their news value. We do not in any way try to advance or impair a candidate's campaign. The Rev. Wright became newsworthy in the context of the Clinton-Obama campaign. The National Press Club wishes to hear from and question newsworthy people. Therefore, Wright was invited to be a speaker.

Number two: See California Paige's comment.

Number three: See DF's comment

Number four: Have a nice evening.

Suppose I arranged a press conference for Monica Lewinsky to speak publicly for the first time about her relationship with Bill Clinton a week before a major primary for Hillary. I invite all the media down. Therefore, I'd arrange the event AND stack the questions to focus specifically on Bill, and which rooms in the White House were "used", and how might Hillary react going back into those particular rooms.

Suppose I knew that Monica was still pissed at Bill, and that her ego was involved, and that she wanted some payback.

Do you get the point?

Obviously this was a last minute kitchen sink tactic arranged by the Clinton camp. Don't expect the MSM to cover it though.

See the complete list of last minute dirty tricks & gimmicks.

The MSM is burying Clinton's sleaze in a big effort to prevent Obama from clinching. Every single primary now there's a big media onslought to push down Obama's numbers and ramp her's up. (Check Eric and Greg's gleeful tone about poll numbers after a week straight of MSM hammering Obama)

Now that the rumors about this story have been confirmed, let me offer my rebuttal:

So what.
