I've done rockets at birthday parties before, but never one quite like
this one. I'm not sure which is worse, the Secret Service overreacting,
the emphasis on the mother's occupation, or the parachute exploding in
the air.

President Clinton's round of golf had a porn star connection the other day.

Clinton was preparing to hit his second shot on the fifth hole at Las
Vegas Country Club on Saturday when Secret Service agents halted a
birthday party fireworks event.

It's a birthday that Savanna Muirhead, the 5-year-old daughter of
28-year-old porn star Sophia Rossi, won't forget.

Savanna was preparing to launch a remote control 18-inch rocket when
Clinton's bodyguards "came out of nowhere" and had the launch scrubbed.

Bobby McKelvey, who had just set up the rocket on the edge of the
fairway in the backyard of Rossi's home on Bel Air Drive, recalls
hearing the stern words, "Sir, do not fire that rocket."

He looked up and saw two badge-flashing Secret Service agents running
toward him, while three more agents came out from behind trees.

"We cannot have you shooting rockets at President Clinton," said one of
the agents as he approached the party of 80, said McKelvey.

Clinton, in a party of more than a dozen, was about 50-75 yards away,
said McKelvey, 41, who described himself as Rossi's manager.

The rocket, fired later, includes a parachute that explodes when the
missile reaches a height of 300-350 feet, McKelvey said.

Rossi, a busty blonde who grew up in Las Vegas, is one of the stars in
Jenna Jameson's Club Jenna lineup. "I'm just disappointed I didn't get a
photo with him," said Rossi.

"If we'd known it was Bill Clinton, we would have invited him to the
party," said McKelvey.

If Bill knew it was a bunch of porn stars, he wouldn't have been playing
golf!
