Aretha Franklin Performs at the Inauguration of President Obama on Vimeo

http://vimeo.com/3180506

This video is a veritable Where's Waldo of the entire inner circle of the 43rd and 44th inner-circle-to-be White House administrations.
All the living ex-presidents and on across the board and down the line are sitting here. Everyone's really freezing, too. :)
All set to Aretha. And her hat!
She is awesome here but when is Aretha Franklin's voice not awesome?

Also, pay attention and see rude Joe Biden yacking during the song. You can bet neither Michelle nor Barack did anything but listen and enjoy Aretha sing for them.
(No surprise that it was more than Biden of course, in this crowd of more than 100 peeps who did not give the Queen of Soul undivided attention). Nancy Pelosi looked to have responded to her neighbour (talked during the song) but she grooved to Aretha much of the time, too

Actress Gina Gershon named in Clinton article wants retraction

http://edition.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/...

Actress Gina Gershon is demanding a retraction from Vanity Fair after the magazine reported "high-end Hollywood dinner-party gossip" that former President Bill Clinton "has been seen visiting" her in California. Gina Gershon accuses Vanity Fair reporter of "irresponsible journalism," lying. Vanity Fair Magazine stands by article and refuses to run a correction. Former President Bill Clinton "has been seen visiting" her in California. Former president Bill called the VF reporter--the husband of his former press secretary Dee Dee Myers, "a scumbag" but later apologized.

She almost always turns her face right angled to camera. Kinda interesting.

Does Bill Clinton play championship poker? That could put the two of them together occasionally. 

But any which way: eww. He's in his 60's, she's in her forties, he's married to you-know-who.

Just no.
