It's A Wrap!

MSNBC's "Morning Joe" kicked off Sunday's 8a post-White House Correspondents' Dinner show with Maureen McGovern's hit "The Morning After" from the 1972 movie "The Poseidon Adventure."  Apt since many journos imbibed a tsunami of booze and were sinking fast Saturday a.m.

Ugh.  I thought it was trite and stupid.  There's Mika in sunglasses wearing the same gown she wore to the WHCD.  Unless she has two, taunted FishbowlDC.  Joe Scarborough in sunglasses, and Willie Geist with sunglasses hanging from his tieless shirt. 

I turned off the TV when annoying, unintelligible Greek Amazon Arianna Huffington (at the dinner, right, with the gorgeous Scarlett Johannsen) clad in unflattering pants opened her gaping maw.  It's bad enough enduring her rants in primetime, but before breakfast, retch...

MSNBC's gift bag to partygoers was a gift from "Morning Joe's" big time sponsor Starbucks.

Before the dinner started people starfucked table-hopped and gossiped about "some serious trash on topics such as whether a certain TV network contributor has gotten any work done on her face."

"Contributor" lets all the employed faces off the hook.  Who hasn't had their face done and more?   This smacks of the aforementioned Arianna Huffington, left with Joy Behar, who should start with her thunder thighs and move up to her voice box.

On fashion, Pulitizer Prize-winning Wash Post fashion czarina Robin Givhan decrees  no more can Washington be branded "Hollywood for ugly people."  Whether journalists should be engaged in a giant schmooze-fest with the people they cover is a subject for media ombudsmen to discuss. And whether there is something profoundly hypocritical about politicians breaking bread and drinking booze with the very journalists they regularly try to circumvent or spin is an ethical issue that folks might want to contemplate with their clergymen or therapists. We are here only to assess the silk, satin and high-twist wool. And there is good news to report there.... Ann Curry, Katie Couric, Meredith Vieira: bravo to you all for proving that glamour, sex appeal and brains can be a dazzling combination on the red carpet.

Others marveled at the size of Kim Kardashian's ass.  Kim's caboose overshadowed tiny Greta Van Susteren who invited her to the event. A male TV network employee who will not be named for obvious reasons went on and on about it, remarking, "Put it this way, you could play cards off it." He also marveled at the size, and said that he thought everyone noticed it. "Everyone wanted to touch it," he said.

Greta Van Who?

The partying went until the wee hours of the morning.  At the MSNBC afterparty held at the Andrew W. Mellon Auditorium, Katie Couric hit the dance floor — barefoot — with Morgan Freeman.

After 3 a.m. near the entrance, Katie Couric had kicked off her high-heel gold sandals and settled into a settee....  Her date, actor Morgan Freeman, came over and started giving her a foot massage.

POLITICO ties up all the loose ends here.

I find it intriguing that POLITICO - a MSNBC's "Morning Joe" staple - did not run one photo of anyone from Fox News or not one mention of Fox News WCHD attendees.  POLITICO and FishbowlDC covered this thing like flies on shit and I found nary a one Fox photo or mention...  CNN, MSNBC, Christiane Amanpour, NBC, CBS.... Every Network But Fox.

Thank God this starfuck is over - until next year! 

Blame the now-late then-Baltimore Sun's Michael Kelly for starting all this when he invited Ollie North's hot secretary-shredder Fawn Hall in 1987...

And finally, there's a reason Obama's jokes "killed."  Jon Stewart's "The Daily Show" funnymen wrote them. Obama spoke before Jay. No wonder Leno looked so glum...
