Actress Betty White has declined an invitation to one of the upcoming Marine Corps Balls in November, citing both a scheduling conflict and a lack of desire to "be in a room full of darkies."
Just days after 'Friends With Benefits' stars Lance Bass and Meg Griffin agreed to accompany two Marines to the event, the 90-year-old "Hot in Cleveland" star was propositioned.
"I would like to take Betty White, she's funny, she's sweet, she's mature, she's the all-around the perfect woman," Sgt. Ray Lewis says in a YouTube video.
Betty White responded via Western Union telegram:
Dear Sgt. Lewis: STOP Received your picture-radio doohickey STOP I will not be able to attend the Darkie Parade with you STOP I simply have no time in my schedule to be alone with a spearchucker STOP No don't put that in there I'll get protested STOP Seriously STOP STOP it.
Anyway, Best of luck with your parole STOP Love your work with the Ravens.
