Pam, my friend and favorite blogger, you KNOW it's only a mere matter of time before you're hobnobbing with politicos...
Actually, I'll have more to say about that later...
I'm D-list. And not in the Kathy Griffin way, either, because she makes the big bucks (which her husband was stealing--anyone else read about that?)
Yeah, DBK, I heard about that. Really sorry, too, because I always liked her husband.
OT:
Pam, you might find this post at The Emerging Democratic Majority worth a read. I found it intriguing.
I'm not even on any possible list, as I simply have a personal website/weblog, but if anyone deserves to have been inviated to the coffee klatsch of sorts, it would be you. Your weblog is insightful, perceptive and clever in my opinion, and is one of my favorite daily reads. Kudos always!
(PS: I already knew about the general gist of the post's title, but there were details within the post that I thought weren't widely known and were worth sharing with others.)
Oddjob, they quote my friend Chris Kromm of Durham-based Facing South, who knows his stuff. He's right. Dems cannot use a "write off the South" strategy when Southern women are abandoning the GOP (and that refers to both white women and women of color, the latter a growing demo in the South that has always voted Dem).
Well this pic looks like a blizzard hit the room, not a person of color. I guess we don;t know how to blog.
Bingo, Miss Wild Thing. What's unreal is that there are plenty of bloggers of color right there in NYC, including one who actually worked in the Clinton White House. Maybe the invitation was lost in the mail or he was unavailable. 
Darlin', you're B-list at worst (I'm C-list at best) but you live nowhere near NYC, so I'm sure that was a consideration.
Proximity matters, as well as other factors (like sHillary, availability of smaller bloggers who have FT jobs, etc.). But what about bloggers who are a train ride away from Bill's Harlem office? It's just an interesting question of how these things are arranged to begin with. As I said, I have no illusions about my being on that attendee list, ha ha.
Aravosis lives in Washington. And he's plenty critical about Clinton. so the hell what?
Pam--totally off the topic. I know what a "fan" you are of our favorite lesbian movie "Claire of the Moon." If you'd like to read an absolutely brillianly hilarious take on whole movie, scene by scene by Scrrrb Girl from Afterellen.com, go to this link. It's long, but worth every word. It's truly laugh out loud, especially if you're familiar with the weird editing, bad acting and bad writing.

I think the invitation was a matter of the proximity of the bloggers lips to Bill Clinton's ass.
I was just popping in to bitch about the lack of color, but I see Miss Wild Thing and Pam beat me to it. I love seeing Jane and Christy there, but sheesh, Clinton should have known better.
Re: Claire of the Moon. It's so deliciously bad it makes my teeth hurt. However, you've just got to love the "And they just met at a potluck?" line.
JoshWatermanMN-I think Griffin did too, until she found out what he was up to. Very strange.
ZZ--There are so many great, bad lines in the movie, it's hard to pick one to single out. I think my favorite howler said by the uptight, heterophobic therapist Noel is "but sex between women is as RAW as it gets!"
"but sex between women is as RAW as it gets!"
LOL. Yes, that's another beauty. Doesn't Noel toss back a slug of whiskey and give Claire a pointed and seductive look after she says it?
God, I've got to watch it tonight! It's been too long.
Dr. Black performs his famous inpersonation of Wilson from Home Improvement.
ZZ--LOL! Yes! After which a totally hot and bothered Claire says "what are you doing?" Noel then gets back into therapist mode and replies (another howler) "Answering YOUR questions!" LMAO!! I've GOT to watch it again myself!!!
God, I've never been able to sit through that movie.
Oh, but Callie, you must! Lesbian comedies are so rare...
In my last life as a Dem operative, I was invited to meet with Big Bill in the White House with 11 other queers, including other people of color. I have an idea of how this happened because the White House folks back in those days used to have to get out into the country to talk to folks. Now Clinton needs $100K to make an appearance and consequently doesn't mix with us other people cus he don't need us anymore. Once again,we are disposable.
Yeah, y'all have already mentioned that it looks mighty white in that room. I'd expect that from Republicans--and even most Democrats. But for some reason, black folks love them some Bill, and for some reason, I keep wanting to think he gets it more than he does.
Oh what a hurl. All this gushing over Bill Clinton. This is a guy who squandered his presidency over Monica Lewinski.
The whole thing was about getting the talking points out there - and trying to placate the bloggers about sHillary.
Eva, I agree. This is damage control over sHillary. I think it's amusing that things must be so bad for her among the blogging crowd that she wasn't willing to face them -- she sent out the charm machine.
