Karaoke in the Capital Rocked!

Democrats, Republicans and the media who cover them came out in force to sing karaoke for a good cause at the 1st Annual Karaoke in the Capital.  CBS’s Face the Nation host Bob Schieffer sang a Johnny Cash duet with a friend; Stephanie Green and Elizabeth Glover of the Washington Times sang Madonna; Politics Daily and Chicago Sun-Times’ Lynn Sweet sang some Rolling Stones; Politico’s Chris Frates sang Journey; Politics Magazine’s Jordan Lieberman  imitated Bruce Springsteen as best he could; Christina Bellantoni of Talking Points Memo rocked Joan Jett; and dozens of reporters and political professional sang badly (and even very well) for a good cause with part of the proceeds benefiting Mr. Holland’s Opus Foundation.  The event was held at Washington, DC’s Rock and Roll Hotel and more than 250 people attended.  Thank you to everyone who helped make the event an enormous success.  We can’t wait for next year!
