Some interesting thoughts from
Wonkett:
Is there not a bit of irony in the titles of the balls? In that, with the exception of the CIC ball, the Patriot Ball, and the Stars and Stripes ball, they're all named after things the administration seems hell-bent on eliminating? Constitution, Freedom, Liberty, Democracy, Environment and Clean Energy? What role exactly do any of those have in current GOP policy?
Perhaps they should come up with some new titles, to reflect the administration's position:
The Unfunded Mandate Ball
The Hell With International Opinion Ball
The Indefinite Detainees Ball
The Doctrine of Preemption Ball
The Clinton Did It Ball
The Legacy of the Crippling Deficit Ball
Excellent. We have just one further suggestion: "The Abu Ghraib Electrodes Attached to Your Ball."
