As we already mentioned – Shaquille O’Neal [the NBA’s finest free-throw shooter] showed up at the White House the other day, only to be denied entrance.  [Obama said no to a celeb?]

Shaquille O’Neal, with hopes of meeting with President Barack Obama, was turned down by Secret Service Sunday. O’Neal — in town to host WWE’s Monday Night Raw at the Verizon Center — posed an impromptu survey last Friday as a guest on D.C. Radio’s “The Mike Wise Show” to gauge his chances of getting in to see the first b-baller.

We can understand Obama saying no to "The Diesel," but the "Big Aristotle?"
