“I understand that this is Governor Dean's wedding anniversary tonight, too, and I want to acknowledge that. This is Governor Mickelson's birthday. This is also a very important birthday: Tonight is Carol Channing's birthday. I want all of us to sing ``Happy Birthday'' to her in just a moment, but I want to tell you that she performed here with George Burns for President and Mrs. Kennedy. She performed here when President Johnson was here. She made President Nixon's hate list, so she didn't perform then. [Laughter] We all knew about her in ``Hello Dolly'' and ``Gentlemen Prefer Blondes,'' where she immortalized that song that you heard about being a little girl from Little Rock. I wish she had been. I'd like to ask us all now to stand and sing ``Happy Birthday'' to her. George, you come up here to lead the singing.”
