"Billy" Clinton? BWHAHAHAHAHA. Someone's got a sense of humor.

Hard to criticize the list, though. He's got all three ideologies pretty well represented: conservative, liberal, and celebrity.

President has got some good taste in music...Shawn Carter (a/k/a Jay-Z) was there twice.

In all seriousness, I respect the guy - didn't exactly have the most stellar upbringing or afforded the opportunities many kids had. But, he also didn't sit around and let his talent go to waste.


edit: happy to see that Michael Moore has visited far more times than Nancy Pelosi...

You can expand it and go to the external site hosting the info. Interesting to scroll through all the info, including the "Description". Such as line 14 which was a meeting with bank CEOs.

Exporting to .xls so I can do a pivot table...

I think the description field is mostly useless, unless you really believe that Michael Moore took 4 group tours ;-)

Re: White House visitor records now online [walnutcreek tri] [In reply to] Can't Post

There’s an important lesson here as well. This unprecedented level of transparency can sometimes be confusing rather than providing clear information.

A lot of people visit the White House, up to 100,000 each month, with many of those folks coming to tour the buildings. Given this large amount of data, the records we are publishing today include a few “false positives” – names that make you think of a well-known person, but are actually someone else. In September, requests were submitted for the names of some famous or controversial figures (for example Michael Jordan, William Ayers, Michael Moore, Jeremiah Wright, Robert Kelly ("R. Kelly"), and Malik Shabazz). The well-known individuals with those names never actually came to the White House. Nevertheless, we were asked for those names and so we have included records for those individuals who were here and share the same names.

Well, that should clear up things: he's having an affair with John Podesta....

Sorry to go slightly off-topic, but did they ever find out why Jeff Gannon, the gay prostitute, visited and stayed overnight in the White House 50+ times during Bush's tenure? I never saw the outcome of that little bit of dirty laundry?

How would you know that if those records were never made public?

Re: White House visitor records now online [Trieatalot] [In reply to] Can't Post

what a pathetic attempt...but, nice try. Glad to see you comment on the content of the OP.

two seconds on Google will give you all the information you are looking for. But, since you may be challenged at doing research yourself, here is the short version: he was denied a press pass by the group of correspondents who control access to them. In lieu of that, the white house issued him daily passes.

Ask yourself how you know so much about him - perhaps it's because he was considered too friendly to the conservative point of view, and regularly wrote against the Democrats and their positions. For that, he was rewarded with a thorough examination of his past, all of which was made public courtesy of the left-leaning MSM.

If I'm following the intent of your post, you are attempting to link the Bush white house to a gay prostitute - simply because they gave him daily passes so that he could attend press conferences. Which would not have been an issue had the Standing Committee of Correspondents granted him a pass. Are you sure you want to start framing the occupant of the white house by the moral calibre of the reporters they are friendly with?

lame attempt, but an A+ for trying...

A gay prostitute spent over 50 nights in the White House during the Bush/Cheney administration? I always wondered if Bush actually liked bush, but now I see he actually liked DICK cheney.

Hahaha!

Isn't it kind of late for 5th graders to be getting out of class?
