By PDA, for my extra-geeky readers, I mean public displays of affection, not personal digital assistants. ABC wonders about camera-caught kisses (Gores), lovey-dovey calls taken in the middle of speeches (Giulianis), and romantic cavorts on the beach (Clintons): genuine goopiness or photo op? If you're in the middle of a nasty argument and they ask you to pose in a lip-clench, movie stars like Fred Thompson definitely have the edge.
Apparently the Gore-Lee wedding was a smash event. Chelsea Clinton and Sarah Gore campaigned together last time and are about the same age, and Chelsea went to the same school as Sarah's brother Al III, but the press is only talking about Dad Clinton showing up at the event in Beverly Hills. Just wondering if you get to be friends, real friends -- and score an invite to each other's weddings -- if your parents campaign on the same ticket.
Sparrowblog position: Montana laundromat. Two dollars a load for a wash and fifty more cents for getting the stuff damp -- not dry. Good thing we brought along the soap.
Al Gore's youngest daughter, Sarah, 28, studying to be a doctor in San Francisco, is getting married at the swanky Beverly Hills Hotel next week. The groom is a Chinese American guy named Bill Lee (next gen won't end up Cablinasian, like Tiger, but it's a nice start, anyway). Here's my question: will Sarah keep her maiden name? Will she hyphenate into Sarah Gore-Lee? Or will she accept her destiny as a master pastry chef and become ... SARAH LEE?
The New York Times just featured an interview with Sarah's older sister Kristin, who's written for SNL and is about to release a sequel to her book Sammy's Hill (Miramax, 2004). The new novel's called Sammy's House (Hyperion, July 2007) and is set in the White House.
Oldest sister Karenna married a doctor and has two kids. She's a lawyer, and her book, Lighting the Way: Nine Women Who Shaped Modern America, came out in 2005 from Miramax.
