Inside Scoop Politics: Washington journalists are rejoicing that celebrity glitz and glamour are returning with their self-celebrating soiree, the White House correspondents’ dinner. They announced that longtime “Saturday Night Live” player Kenan Thompson will host the April event, and Muslim comedian Hasan Minhaj will perform the Republican-bashing “comedy” routine.
“The dinner has a serious message, but we also believe it is as important as ever to be able to laugh — at ourselves, as well as at the people we cover,” said White House Correspondents’ Association President Jonathan Karl. “I’d argue that humor is more important now than ever.”
Liberals cling desperately to humor, “now more than ever,” just as The New York Times advertises by saying, “The truth is more important now than ever.”
The biggest joke of this dinner is Karl’s claim that it is “a nonpartisan event.” Just look at the last three presidents. Leftists like Stephen Colbert famously roasted President George W. Bush. But when Barack Obama became president, a series of comedians oozed their appreciation of the Almighty Barack, spelunking to the all-time low of Larry Wilmore, who proclaimed in 2016: “Yo, Barry. You did it, my n—-!”
The “nonpartisan” newscasts on ABC, CBS and NBC covered that event with 35 sound bites that celebrated Obama’s comedy routine and touted him as “the funniest president of all time,” compared with only two sound bites from Wilmore. One clip was a supine tribute to Obama, not even a joke. read more
h/t Forcibly Deranged.
1) Liberals have no sense of humor. Its a symptom of mental illness. That’s why they think beheadings and death threats to anyone they don’t like are “funny”
2) At ANY dinner party, the person they attack the MOST id the person who isn’t there to defend themselves. So, like ANY coward, they WILL go after the President, and keep topping each others’ lies about him before AGAIN threatening his life publicly, followed up by “It was a JOKE, ha ha!”. See point 1, above.
3) The press is our enemy. Their choice.
Treat them as such.
The fat black kid from the “mighty ducks” was his best and only work ever.
The rating will be through the roof.
Pfffffffft.
Are any of my tax dollars being used to pay for this happy horse shit?
‘Muslim comedian Hasan Minhaj’…….sounds hilarious.
@Steve Brown:
My thought exactly! Maybe he’ll wow the
correspondentspropagandists with a video of “Beheading Bloopers” or an episode of “Calphate’s Funniest Jihad Videos”.Talented cockroaches dinner.
Typing cockroaches are still cockroaches.
Continue to boycott/ignore these talentless partisan whores of the Democrats. Only losers give themselves awards.
Participation Trophy Awards dinner for losers
Let’s see how hard they are laughing on election night.
Hoping and praying NO one from the WH goes.
@John:
Some cockroaches are special, especially archy.
archy, the creation of Don Marquis, used to be a poet/philosopher before being reincarnated as a cockroach. He wrote by jumping down and slamming his body into the keys of a typewriter, thus there are no capital letters or punctuation. archy’s friend was mehitabel, an alley cat on her 9th life.
An archy maxim:
In case they haven’t noticed, they are no longer the WH correspondents. They are the helipad correspondents.
Didn’t they get kicked out of the WH until they could prove they were housebroken?

There is a ton of humor…look at the Dumpocrats running for the nomination.
A phony squaw
An old fart
An older fart
A queer
A nasty bitch-witch
A dwarf from New York
It is truly a laff riot.
Any chance of convincing the terrorists to attack that night?
Do they need a street address? 😇
“Libtards cling to humor” while knowing fuck-all about humor – hey, just like they do with communism!
“Correspondents” my ass. They’re vile propagandists, undertalented ignoramuses well-paid by their scumbag masters.
