Top brass birthday bash
BIRTHDAY BASH
On
November 9, over 100
friends and family
gathered at the residence
of Kuwaiti Ambassador
Salem Al-Sabah and his
wife Rima to celebrate
Marine Corps General
Peter Pace’s 60th birthday
and his swearing-in as Chief
of Staff of the U.S. Armed
Forces six weeks previously.
What Pace assumed would
be a small affair turned out
to be a grand tribute to his
38 years in the Corps.
Supreme Court justices,
CEO’s, cabinet secretaries,
media celebrities, and
members of Congress
from both sides of the
aisle joined in the fun.
MOVING AND SHAKING
Presidential guru Karl
Rove, intelligence czar
John Negroponte,
Supreme Court Justices
Antonin Scalia and
Anthony Kennedy, Diane
Williams, Leo and Grega
Daly, Gen. Joe Ralston,
Rep. John Dingell, and
Pace’s predecessor,
Gen. Richard Myers,
enjoyed the meal as
well as the floorshow,
when a Middle Eastern
dancer wove in between
tables hypnotizing them
with her savvy moves.
OVERHEARD
While
waiting in the valet line,
guests were overheard
chuckling at the irony
of an exotic dancer
covering Rove and
Negraponte with
her veil.
