Louis C.K. surrenders to Greta Van Susteren

Can we lift the rule against using the worst of words? Just this one time?

 

Or Rich Vos

 

politics?

 

Whitney Cummings or Lisa Lampinelli should be warming up in the bullpen.

Greta is going to regret this.

 

I would have Black on the next plane.

 

Andre Dice Clay is going to fill in for C.K.

The pool of comedians for the correspondents' dinner should be a pretty shallow one... Late night talk show hosts (Stewart, Colbert, Leno, Letterman, Kimmel, Fallon, Ferguson...). Then (depending on who the president is) you could add Maher or Miller to the list.

Fey would be good. Alec Baldwin would be good. I don't like Seth Meyers on SNL, but I thought he was pretty good last year.

I love Louis C.K., I think he might be one of the best comedians working, but he's a bad fit for this event.

And, of course, Greta is way over the line in her criticism.

 

This guy is going to become the right's answer to Rush -- as in, "you got all hot and bothered by Rush but you were just fine with Louis C.K. as host, why why WHY?!?!?!?!"

 

Just to be clear, isn't this the congressional correspondents' dinner, not the White House dinner?

 

Keep in mind that Greta once invited Ozzy Osbourne to the White House Correspondent's Dinner. Apparently biting the heads off of doves is OK but joking about masturbation is wholly inappropriate.

 

While his comedic work remains admirable, Louie CK -- cowering to his FOX overlords -- comes off as a pussy in this scenario.

 

Even after the surgery, no one would call Greta Van Susteren a fox.
