Why was Dennis Hopper asked to not come to the ball?

Why was Dennis Hopper asked to not come to the ball
oft quoted lurid details (and i mean that as a complement) like those found in this foxnews.com report aside, no official comment from PCI, The Creative Coalition or Dennis Hopper is yet available. consider this eye witness report,"Hill Harper, an actor on "CSI New York," attended a sold-out event hosted by the Creative Coalition, a nonpartisan advocacy group for actors, writers, singers and other members of the entertainment industry.
Harper looked at an empty dance floor at 10:45 p.m.: "It doesn't seem like the most exciting crowd. Maybe we'll see some table dancing, maybe some stripping, maybe somebody will show some leg."
this seems to be a generally held opinion, i heard things like "has been ball" so maybe dennis knew and demurred.
the washinton post runs a quote attributed to hopper, about half way down the page.
"We were dismayed this week when my invitation to participate in the 'Celebration of Freedom' event . . . was withdrawn by the Presidential Inaugural Committee,"
Hopper's rep said he would not comment beyond the statement, which also expressed his "deep regret" over not being here. "However," the actor added, "I would still like to express my support for President George Bush and our next four years"
so he then boycotted the ball in this theory.
while the new york post reports,
January 20, 2005 -- MACY Gray is still showing up to the Creative Coalition's Inauguration party tonight, but co-chair Dennis Hopper isn't. One source said Hopper canceled his trip to Washington when he was "uninvited" from the official presidential party after "religious groups complained about his [sketchy] history." But Hopper, a longtime George Bush supporter, isn't going, a close pal said, because of work reasons. "He is right in the middle of a huge movie deal," the friend said. Another celeb not going to the bash because of work is Sylvester Stallone, who had to cancel because he's filming "Duplicity."
and then this from WOWInside Deep Throat's narrator, Dennis Hopper, abruptly pulled out of attending the Sundance premiere of the film because he, um, FORGOT that he had to go to the Inaugural Ball in Washington.
stay tuned.
