The founders of the White House Correspondent's Dinner are rolling in their graves after last night's Caligula. Incest, necrophilia (George Bush and Dick Cheney are dead), torture of political opponents, sex, wretched excess, humiliation, figurative rape. An Obama orgy.The New York Times reporter roundly ridiculed for asking what "enchanted" Obama in his First 100 Days should've held that question for the 200 Days Press Conference.
Hands down winner: The rechristened (by me) White House Impress Association's yearly Soft Correspondent's Dinner.
Nobody laid a glove on The One. To spare the embarrassment of lampooning the "Comic-In-Chief" poked fun at himself in a pre-arranged pass for the media.
The enhanced torture tactics were used on Republicans. George Bush. Dick Cheney. Conservative media. Rush Limbaugh. Sean Hannity.
The Huffington Post notes the dinner was attended by "a mix of politicans, celebrities and journalists." Note the order of importance.
A space alien dispatched by the Intergalactic Council to observe this Earth media phenomenon communicated telepathically to Chickaboomer that he thought he'd mistakenly landed in Hollywood. More photos.
Watch the video
The remarks were pretty one-sided. And yes, the best shots at Obama were fired by Obama.
