I've been reading that not only is Gerry Adams not in the picture, but the McCartney clan is to visit the White House.

I understand the confliction that a lot of you may be feeling at this juncture. So, turn to your tapes of 'West Wing' and bask in the splender of President Bartlett.

There, there.
