If you go to karenziemba.com, there are photos of her with Prince Andrew and the last three Presidents.
I remember when she and Bebe Neuwirth performed "Hot Honey Rag" from CHICAGO for the Clintons at this "Amercian Dance at the White House" special on PBS. At the end of the concert, during the credits, The Clintons came up on stage to meet and chat with the performers. It very much looked as if President Bill was hitting on Karen.

Posted: 9/5/04 at 11:36pmActually, from my angle, he was hitting on Bebe. Karen just happened to be in the crossfire.

I swear, that's how far I got. (I try to get a Broadway performer in as early as I can).

Posted: 9/7/04 at 2:18pmCan't you relate Mitchell to Ziemba? Might take another step or two...but you can do it...
