Guess who's coming to dinner...
Why is this guy even just walking at liberty, let alone to a State dinner in the White House? :evilfrown:

5. Tom Bosley passed away, last month, I think...
That's Henry Kissinger and his wife, Nancy. :(

7. Yeah, I knew about Tom Bosley but that's who it reminded me of. I didn't recognize
Kissinger - didn't realize he was so short! He should NOT be at the WH! I wish Obama would stop playing all those political games and not allow entrance to the WH to war criminals. :grr:

8. Well, I'm old enough to remember when Kissinger got married
And she towered over him even back then. I can remember wondering why anyone would marry the guy... And I sure agree with you. Kissinger is the last guy who we need advising this president. x( :crazy:

10. I remember a smug Kissinger quoted as saying
"Power is the ultimate aphrodisiac."

For some women that may be enough -- no humanity or conscience or empathy needed in the mix for excitement.

Ugh.

11. I remember that, too.
And, even if this was the case, which I cannot even imagine, it must have worn off by now. x(

17. I'm definitely old enough to remember that, too -- I don't recall that she was
THAT much taller, though. :7

2. Is that Kissinger?
Reminds me of a character from the series "Twin Peaks".
Anyone remember who I'm talking about?

13. It's his wife, but she looks like she just got out
of the coffin. :rofl: Maybe he turned her. I wouldn't doubt if he's a vampire.

9. He was instrumental in opening dialogue with China....
...a very big and positive deal in the 70's.

12. Ironically, cheney and Rumsfeld are credited with getting Kissinger
out of the White House.

16. I still prefer Belushi's take on Kissinger to the original
Appropriate, though, that time has made Henry look like the little troll his behavior always hinted at.
