"You can't just un-invite someone like that -- particularly for someone who has no official status." You could move the EX prime minister of Australia to a hotel, and put the new President of the United States where he SHOULD be, by long standing tradition. But, if you're a DICK, you don't do that..

Ummm... how about Blair House? That was just dickish, no two ways about it. If the facility is already scheduled for a foreign dignitary, no president would have canceled that person to allow an incoming president to have it. Put on the sht kickers.....as noted before on this thread, the Blair House has over 100 rooms and 70K sq. ft., several bathrooms and kitchens. Ten families could have been comfortably housed within its confines and no one would have complained. You can't just un-invite someone like that -- particularly for someone who has no official status.* The PM of AU stayed one frigging nite. It couldn't have rationally been handled differently. Right. And the US found WMDs in Iraq. Like I said, the BS is flying thick and fast this AM.
