«Breaking News» Tony Bennett serenaded Nancy Pelosi right before she takes the Speaker's gavel at Washington dinner

The night before she was to take the Speaker's gavel for the second time in her career, Rep. Nancy Pelosi was serenaded by crooner Tony Bennet at a dinner hosted by Italy's ambassador to the U.S. 

Bennet helped give Pelosi a send-off at the elegant embassy Wednesday as she was to become the first lawmaker since the powerful Sam Rayburn to take on the speakership for a second time.

Her party featured several notables, including former President Bill Clinton and former first lady and New York Senator Hillary Clinton, who live nearby the embassy. 

Pelosi has said she might have retired rather than seek to reclaim the speakership had Clinton won rather than Donald Trump.

Pelosi and Trump are now in a standoff over the president's border wall, which Pelosi has told fellow Democrats may be connected to his 'manhood' amid a partial government shutdown that has now gone on for 12 days. 

Pelosi spoke at the event, and the first female speaker spoke about political achievements for women. 

She said the nation would 'celebrate the first 100 years of women having the right to vote,' while also 'celebrating over 100 women in the Congress – in the House of Representatives. That’s pretty remarkable. It’s pretty exciting,' she said.

Also there was former Secretary of State John Kerry, Playbook reported.   

Based on photos tweeted out by guests, there were at least 16 tables, each adorned with an elegant flower arrangement.  

Several attendees tweeted out photos of the event – including Bennett performing in front of a rhythm section at the embassy.

Link hienalouca.com Interesting to note Looking for an investor or sponsor for a project to grow dinosaurs and relict plants. Requires the sum of investments from 400000$ to 900000$. The exact amount can not say because there are many nuances. It will be necessary to build a small laboratory with certain parameters. To all interested persons please write on an email angocman@gmail.com . It is the scientific project and I do not know whether it is possible to earn on it. The probability of success of the project is approximately 60%. That will be very interesting.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
