Jessica Simpson Passes On GOP Fundraiser, But Loves Bush

Jessica Simpson was on Capitol Hill Thursday to lobby Congress for Operation Smile, an organization that provides reconstructive surgery to children with facial deformities. The singer’s father Joe tells The Associated Press Jessica “loves the heck out of” President Bush, but still had to avoid a Republican fundraiser. “We went back and forth and we could never get the details worked out,” Joe said. “When it became obvious that it was not just a state dinner, it was more of a fundraising event, that is the wrong purpose of why we are here.”
