I got an invitation for the TIME 100 bash, and I know I\u2019m not one of the TIME 100. Now, I have been, and maybe once you\u2019ve been there &#8212; I\u2019ve never been, but once you\u2019ve been listed then you get invited &#8212; but I don\u2019t think I was invited last year. Now, why would I be invited? It\u2019s next month. The invitation, to me, is arriving a little late. It\u2019s like 30 days from now, April the 18th or some such thing. I\u2019m guessing. Hang on just a second.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>Here it is. What\u2019s the date? April 23rd. &#8220;TIME 100 cordially invite you at Lincoln Center, cocktails, seven, dinner, 8:30, black tie &#8211;&#8221; that rules me out &#8220;&#8211; Tuesday, April 23rd.&#8221; So just over a month. Now, why would I be getting an invitation to this? Yeah. They do publicize who\u2019s been invited. They can\u2019t publicize who\u2019s going to be there. Well, I guess they could, based on their RSVPs. But I wasn\u2019t invited last year. And I don\u2019t think I was invited the year before. I\u2019ve never attended. I did make the TIME 100 list once. There is a reason why I was invited. If you stop and think about it, it\u2019ll come to you, Snerdley. It\u2019s right there in front of your face. Remember, now, people like me are invited to things like this as circus acts.<\/p>\n<p>I remember I was invited to the 60 Minutes at the time&#8230; What was it, the 20th anniversary show or 150th anniversary show? Whatever it was, Steve Kroft invited me, and they put me at Camille Paglia\u2019s table, remember? They thought, &#8220;Okay, here\u2019s Camille Paglia, a noted feminist-lesbian activist,&#8221; so they put me at a table with her. What they didn\u2019t know was that I already had an e-mail relationship with her and that everything was cool.<\/p>\n<p>We ended up having a great conversation. You shoulda seen it that night. Kroft would walk by the table every ten minutes. I didn\u2019t realize at the time what was going on here. I thought I was really invited because I\u2019d been profiled. That wasn\u2019t it. I was invited \u2019cause they thought fireworks were gonna happen, and they wanted to be able to watch it. They thought some liberal and I would get into it.<\/p>\n<p>Ed Bradley would take a little tour around the table, too. I was so naive, I didn\u2019t know what was going on. All these CBS guys would come circulate, and they weren\u2019t working the whole room. They\u2019d just come work around our table, and there were never any fireworks. So I know I\u2019m invited as a circus act. So, knowing that&#8230; (interruption) Come on, Snerdley! (interruption) That\u2019s why. It\u2019s strictly for one reason.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: I got an invitation.
