The Secretary of State hosted a Gala Dinner last night at the State Department for this year's Kennedy Center Honorees. (She wore my favorite dress in the whole world! Thank you, Madame Secretary!) This year's honorees are: opera singer Grace Bumbry, jazz pianist Dave Brubeck, actor Robert de Niro, rock star Bruce Springsteen, and comedian, director, composer and producer Mel Brooks (yes, folks, Mel actually IS a producer!) No word on whether Bill Clinton also attended, but I hope he was able to spend a little time with Brubeck (and with you-know-who, who is looking hot in that blue dress).
UPDATE: I knew Bill would not miss this! Here's a nice article from Associated Press writer, Brett Zongker containing an account of Bill's contribution to last night's festivities.
