The White House Correspondent's Dinner was last night. Here's the President's Speech, the MC of the Dinner Wanda Sykes also had her turn at the mike, and Frank Rich wrote a pretty good column on the state of American journalism.
I'm not sure I like the WHCD. It seems like a big, self-congratulatory waste of time, when the press and the politicians get together to revel in the shared realization of just how awesome they consider themselves to be. It comes across a little more than ego-stroking to me and it's irritating.
But it can be funny. I'll grudgingly admit that.
