Running White House Correspondents' Dinner Thread

One of Kimmel's underrated lines - "We used to march, now we occupy."

 

I remember that and I agree, you get what you pay for. How anybody couldn't have seen that coming with Imus is beyond me. That's what I never understood about the Colbert outrage -- had none of the people who booked him ever seen his show?

 

Also...

"There's a term for people like President Obama, probably not two terms..."

Imus was the classic example of "Who did you think was going to show up?" and I felt the same way when republicans were mad about what Colbert did. It was like, "You do know what his whole act is?" I didn't fault Imus for doing what he did and I didn't fault Colbert for doing what he did because they did what they're best known for.

I'd love to see them ask someone like Chris Rock to do it, but they're smart to go with guys who can't do anything too offensive because they have to go back to their late night gigs.

I remember Leno being dreadful a couple years ago.

 

I suspect you will see Chris Rock doing this gig about two weeks after you see the first concert in the Beatles' Reunion Tour...
