The White House engravers are printing the invitations. The Caligraphers are addressing the envelopes. The Marine Band is practicing. If you are coming to the party, I need a guest list. As you can see, it is shaping up to being quite an affair.
Rules: Before Sunday Night name 9 guests living or dead to sit at your table. Name a guest of Honor and a President to be voted on at a later date. Make any silly remarks you would like. Do you best not to duplicate guests, but I'll sort it out later if you do.

Oh dear...I can not party with such a rakish bunch...and I don't go near tequila..I just wanted a sip of Heinken..sigh..and now they have gone and taken Molly from my table...sigh...so I have had to ask a replacement guest, I am bring Ray Charles, since my grandmother Flo loved him so, and he will fawn all over as she looks great in Red ( being a redhead...) oh, and he has very nicely asked if he could serenade us with America the Beautiful after dinner ? ( and I have to say Katherine Graham Cracker just melted my heart, PRESIDENT FEINGOLD .... be still my heart...)

I will move back to the top....so people head over...too good...
What an intriguing lot! Could I request a table far, far away from the Clintons, please? I'm afraid my tongue would get the better of me and I might end up causing a scene ...
Linda,
The jean wearing crowd is already smashing the china thanks to a tequila binge with Molly Ivins. The Clintons probably won't hear you over the din.
Renee,
How could I forget Richard Russo? We'll scooch over an make room for him. And Al Frankin? Ours will be the party table! And I want Mika's dad. And maybe Mika too if she brings the vodka.
Oh wonderful, you're going to force the calligraphers to write
Brezinsky in pretty script without lifting their pens.
yes.....
it's time to PAAARRRRTTTTYYYYY!
dnd.... maybe we'll talk Jamie into giving us a table with our favorite Red Sox and Rockies players....
