Scandalous White House Moments
There was once a time when entertainers and the White House didn't mix so well. Their encounters either led to a public relations meltdown (for either the President or the musician) or, at the very least, an awkward photo op. As we celebrate the rise of musicians to Cabinet-level status in the welcoming Obama Administration, here's a reminder of the days when politicians and pop culture icons made for strange bedfellows.

tattedkell35 said "I hope Jesse and Sandra get the little girl. I think Sandra really loves the child,just from the photos I've seen. Plus, the Mom is married to a ex con. I think they were both on drugs and are now sober. The is a train wreck. I think the child has been through enough trama. She needs a stable home. "
ddfstop said "Children always suffer when their adults start acting like "children!" Tax Evation?? That woman is a fine role model for her daughter ... not! She should never be allowed to have any custody of their daughter because the daughter will only get bounced back to Jesse and Sandra the next time she decides to mess with the IRS. Even a genius will testify that that is not very smart ... forget being a genious. It ain't nice ta mess wit da IRS!!'Nuff said!"
bhig bhil said "I was watching Young Frankenstien, when we thought about Terri Garr and then Bernadette Peters, as comedieenes. Then I wondered what happened to Bernadette? Well, I have found out that she is well and is still a hottie at 61. My God The Woman Looks Good! Her and Andie MacDowell have that Hair, that beautiful frizzy wonderful Hair! Go Girl"
