I'll never forgive Sirhan Sirhan
First instance of domestic terrorism related to the middle East conflict.
Fun fact: SBS is a Palestinian Christian who watched his family members be killed by Israelis.
You mean MK ULTRA
Dr. They
When the CIA wants your family dead...
Yes that mkultra victim who shot the would be president in the back of the head from Infront of him is a true monster.
Only the US government would be clever enough to pin it on someone with the same first and last name
SBS was a totally cool and stable genius before MKULTRA got their hands on him!
Cripes so they just said a bunch of people who definitely weren't coming were coming and now that they're not we're taking our ball and going home? Classy.
Why does this sound like a cheesy teen movie? The kind where the protagonist tries to throw a party and claims some celebrity will be there. Then, when everyone decides to come, the protagonist has to attempt to get the celebrity to actually appear.
Only in the cheesy teen movie, the celebrity would make a surprise appearance at the end. In RFK Jr's version, all the celebrities laugh in his face and he's left sad and alone.
Is it stuff like this that makes people think trump is a strong man, say what you want I doubt he would have given up so pathetically
Since Sheen doesn't have an X account, Bradley Whitford, who played the White House deputy chief of staff on the TV show, tweeted on Sheen's behalf.

Bartlet after receiving the invitation to the gala: What's next?

Truly. Allison Janney doing it would have also been swell.
Welp, guess that means it's about time for another West Wing binge. ❤️🔥🤘🏼
It’s “competency porn” comfort food. I like to escape and imagine what the world would be like if everyone were as good at their jobs as those fictional characters were at theirs…
Maybe in the next simulation, eh? This one's about dried up.
I don't get why this guy would think that President Josiah Bartlett would show up for him.
However to be rejected by Charlie Sheen's dad has to burn.
Not as bad as Emilio Esteves saying 'Fuck off, poser!"
Imagine if Emilio and Billy Baldwin said no to your birthday party
He tried to do that crazy jacket maneuver and threw out his shoulder. He’s 83 after all. 
That maneuver is a result of a childhood injury. Sheen's not Barlet's.
Babyhood injury, IIRC he broke his shoulder being born.
basically the exact same reason I never attend my own birthday parties
Why celebrate at all if no Martin Sheen?
Nobody wants to be orbiting around a pedo
It was shaping up to be a real Fyre Festival of a bday party.
"If the rapist isn't coming, I'm not coming." -- RFK, Jr. (probably)
It's OK, buddy. Martin Sheen didn't come to my birthday party either.
Thank god Martin Sheen isn’t a right wing lunatic. There seems to be precious few these days it seems.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is backing out of his own birthday fundraiser gala after celebrity guests Martin Sheen, Dionne Warwick, Mike Tyson and Andrea Bocelli, who were reported to be attending, instead stated that they would skip it.
Kennedy press secretary Stefanie Spear confirmed to CBS News that the independent candidate will not be attending the birthday event.
Warwick was the first to respond on X, denying she was going and calling the PAC's announcement "absolutely ridiculous."
Soon afterward, Martin Sheen, who played the president on the TV series "The West Wing," took to Instagram.
The Kennedy campaign previously told CBS News it didn't have "anything to do with organizing this event."
A representative for Andrea Bocelli told Rolling Stone that the Italian tenor is not singing at the gala.
The original article contains 300 words, the summary contains 130 words. Saved 57%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
I initially read that as “blacks out” and for a moment felt a different kind of hope.
