Bits and Pieces:
- The longest line for autographs led to Sanjaya, The Washington Post reports that it wasn't until Eliot Spitzer said, "But I'm the governor of New York" that he was able to get an autograph.
- President Bush, deferring to the tragedy at Virginia Tech, passed up any attempt to be funny "I was looking forward to doing a little poking myself but in light of this tragedy at Virginia Tech I decided not to be funny," he said. The association presented a $5,000 check to the Virginia Tech student paper.
- Rich Little. Returned to the podium at the annual dinner after 23 years, Little made good on his promise to be gentle. After one joke bombed, he said, "And you thought (Stephen) Colbert was bad."
- The Washington Post reports Sheryl Crow, producer Laurie David and Karl Rove exchanged some heated words about global warming. David walked over to the presidential adviser's table, where David suggested that Rove "take a new look at global warming." according to the Post column "Reliable Source," that Crow told Rove, "You work for me." Rove responded, "No." "I work for the American people."
