Couric Tweets on State Dinner: 'Mrs. O Looked Amazing! Prez Looked Tired'

Katie Couric bubbled over with delight in her 14 Twitter tweets on the state dinner (half of them pictures, like this one with White House spokesman Robert Gibbs). None of them addressed whether accepting an invitation to a state dinner might hurt your appearance of independence (or whether she has one of those when it comes to the Obamas):

My recap of state dinner: Lots of saris, beautiful orchids, Mrs. O looked amazing! Seemed 2 ft taller than wife of India PM.

Prez looked tired from China, tablecloths were deep celadon, lots of dresses in sea foam green for whatever reason…

Jennifer Hudson was spectacular…she sang somewhere – wish I could sing like her, she’s sick!

They had Indian dancers and the AR Rahman (composer, musician) sang Jai Ho from Slumdog millionaire, which he wrote

Kurt Elling from Chicago…NSO performed…my favorite number was the theme from Candide from the national symphony orchestra (bernstein)

Strangely, a little Googling suggests no other press account of the state dinner reported the overture from Candide was played. The latest tweet came over the party-crashers Tareq and Michaele Salahi, who met Katie and took pictures:

Met and chatted w state dinner crashers who were incredibly friendly and seemed so comfortable... Shld they be charged? what do u think?
