WH Correspondents' Dinner Open Thread [Mothership]

It is starting on CSPAN now.  Does anyone want to talk about it?  It should be interesting.  I'm not sure how Craig Fergusen will do, I'm not realy a fan.  It should be streaming online soon.  The "watch now" link wasn't working when I clicked it a minute ago, though.

Uh... we can also talk about Dirty Jobs, if you like.  Or Deadliest Catch.  Or The Soup.

citizenx has started a new diary here.

Hedwig has started the third diary here.

Edited for wayward apostrophes.

•  Tips?

•  I hope Bush is served a bowl of pretzels...

  by David Kroning on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:06:54 PM PDT

  •  Or his ass, either way.

    by ThatPoshGirl on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:07:28 PM PDT

•  Happy Saturday, Posh!

  Thanks for the thread -- I don't have cable teevee, but this seems like a fun place to be horrified by the criminal-in-chief.

  by gchaucer2 on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:07:17 PM PDT

•  I like Craig alot

  I'm not sure how he'll do in this setting, but I like him a lot as a late night host.  He's been one of the few hosts that will actually drop the comedy sometimes and talk about something if he feels it's important, and he's been willing to buck conventional late night host wisdom on certain topics.

  •  I remember how classy he was when Britney Spears

    was having one of her big melt-downs.

    by rachelmap on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 06:52:51 PM PDT

•  Will this be on C-Span?

  One thing is certainly for sure, Craig Fergusen will be better than Rich Little was last year.

  by citizenx on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:08:23 PM PDT

  •  It's on C-Span now.

    by ThatPoshGirl on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:08:46 PM PDT

    •  Thanks

      Beats watching the Texas Rangers.
      Well.....anything beats watching the Texas Rangers.

      by citizenx on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:10:04 PM PDT

  •  LOL

    That's a hell of a low bar.

    by Trix on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:12:44 PM PDT

•  Thanks!

  It's better than what I was watching...Helen was just introduced...please let her walk over and smack Dana

  by bws on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:08:29 PM PDT

•  Hmmm, C-Span is

  "Declining" to show me the page -- am I on the watch list?  Damn, I hope so.

  by gchaucer2 on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:10:39 PM PDT

  •  Jeez don't we have anything better to do ?

    by CTMET on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:11:27 PM PDT

    •  Um, I'm drinking

      ooops, National Anthem -- sorry, must put down the glass and put my hand over my heart.

          a back door -- listening to march to war music now.
          Thank you.

          by gchaucer2 on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:13:59 PM PDT

      •  got your flag pin on? (n/t)

  •  Yeah, I don't know what's up. I think Faux News

    is showing it too.  Maybe they have a feed?

    by ThatPoshGirl on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:12:48 PM PDT

    •  Got it now, thanks Posh

      I'm feeling war-like with the music -- I'm putting on my Brunhilde helmet with horns!

      by gchaucer2 on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:14:46 PM PDT

•  Hmmm I get a not authorized to view this page

  message when I click on it. any ideas?

  by CTMET on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:10:55 PM PDT

  •  I just went to their

    video/audio pull down and clicked on windows viewer thingy -- working now

    by gchaucer2 on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:13:16 PM PDT

•  "Correspondents"?

  More like "stenographers."

  by bethrsingleton on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:12:26 PM PDT

  •  What I would give for another Colbert moment.

    by CTMET on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:14:15 PM PDT

    •  All of us would

      chip in and pay for that moment.

      by gchaucer2 on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:15:16 PM PDT

      •  Colbert would have given Bush

        the "proper" send-off

        Oh God please - is it January 2009 yet -

        Are we there yet??

        by sara seattle on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:23:30 PM PDT

        •  almost sara

          let's just pray we don't have a third war for a sendoff.

          by gchaucer2 on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:24:15 PM PDT

          •  and also a President Obama

            to make it a wonderful end to 2008 - and a terrific start of 2009.

            (let us all pray that there will be no McAnything in sight)

            by sara seattle on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:43:49 PM PDT

  •  Well yeah

    If they reported the truth then they wouldn't get invited to all the "cool" parties like tonight.  They've gotta have priorities afterall.

    by Lauren S on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:15:29 PM PDT

  •  An insult to, you know...

    ...actual stenographers?

    I've always wondered about that.

•  so, do leaders of nations

  normally not sing their national anthems?

  by mlecin on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:15:33 PM PDT

  •  You expect the commander-in-thief to remember

    that many words?

    by ThatPoshGirl on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:16:08 PM PDT

    •  not THIS commander-in-chief, anyway. (n/t)

      by frisco on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:20:02 PM PDT

  •  Were they the only ones?

    Didn't look like anybody on camera wasn't singing besides Bush and Cheney.

    by Lauren S on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:19:50 PM PDT

  •  You have to know the words

    and there are so many of them - so hard to remember all them words - being that they are so different - and all

    by sara seattle on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:32:48 PM PDT

•  The good news is

  that this is Bush's last one!

  by citizenx on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:15:48 PM PDT

  •  Word to your mother!

    by ThatPoshGirl on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:16:51 PM PDT

  •  Unless, of course,

    they hold one next year in the holding cell at the Hague!

    by Randall Sherman on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 07:49:05 PM PDT

•  Every time I see

  Bush's face I get physically ill.

  I swear my blood pressure goes up!

  by BlackBox on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:16:43 PM PDT

•  Navy Band? Marines?

  At least something in the gummint is nonpolitical! Must be the Marines, they're playing the marines hymn.

•  Why is Richard Wolffe sitting at the head table?

  by Lauren S on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:18:14 PM PDT

  •  Incoming President

    by Scarce on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:20:52 PM PDT

  •  Didn't take long for them to answer that question

    WHCA Board Member.

    by Lauren S on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:21:29 PM PDT

•  Ok, here's my first catty comment

  and I am of the age -- when you are "of the age" do not wear dresses that drop towards the shoulders.  Who is this chick?

  by gchaucer2 on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:19:08 PM PDT

  •  Ah, Ann Compton. yoiks.

    by gchaucer2 on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:20:00 PM PDT

  •  Looks like she has sunburn on her shoulders

    by CTMET on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:20:11 PM PDT

  •  Especially if your bra strap will show

    by Scarce on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:20:20 PM PDT

  •  Especially if your bra strap will show

    by Scarce on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:20:20 PM PDT

  •  no one of consequence

    they won't stop talking to listen to her!

    (Ann Compton, pres of the WH Correspondents)

    by mlecin on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:20:24 PM PDT

•  Ann Compton is irritating

  I remember the stricken look on her face duting the Colbert extravaganza.

  by dotster on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:19:29 PM PDT

•  I love that no one

  is listening to this crap.

  by gchaucer2 on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:20:20 PM PDT

  •  Didn't know

    reporters were so rude

    by BlackBox on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:22:14 PM PDT

    •  Just these self-centered ones!

      I suspect it comes with the territoru of their supposed beats.  Too many of them haven't done any serious investigative journalism for years.  Of course, the clowns from Fox News probably can't even spell "investigative journalism"; they probably spell it "W-I-T-C-H-H-U-N-T A-G-A-I-N-S-T D-E-M-O-C-R-A-T-S."

      by Randall Sherman on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 07:54:08 PM PDT

•  So Glad You Brought It Up

  1. Bad wig.

  2. Tan lines on shoulders.

  3. gimme a minute... there's more...

  by JG in MD on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:20:29 PM PDT

•  No one paying attention.... what about us?

  by CTMET on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:20:55 PM PDT

  •  We're nobodies

    Remember? Just like "voters" not being terribly significant, neither are "viewers".

    by Jennifer Clare on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:22:48 PM PDT

•  Is Jennifer Loven going to a luau

  right after this deal?

  by citizenx on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:21:06 PM PDT

  •  Call up "What not to Wear"

    by CTMET on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:21:41 PM PDT

  •  I'll bet she shows up

    on "GoFugYourself.com" tomorrow.  Will have to check.

    by gchaucer2 on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:22:45 PM PDT

•  I have little crush on Richard Wolffe

  Don't let me down, Richard!

  by Jennifer Clare on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:21:45 PM PDT

  •  I think he looks like a grown up version of

    Eddie Munster.

    by ThatPoshGirl on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:22:46 PM PDT

    •  Ha!

      You may be onto something, but I still think he's a cutie-pie.

      by Jennifer Clare on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:23:47 PM PDT

    •  I guess that's better

      than Pugsley.

      by gchaucer2 on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:24:56 PM PDT

•  mics turned up way too loud

  If the audience mics had been this loud when Colbert spoke, you'd have heard a lot more of the laughter...

  by mlecin on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:22:36 PM PDT

•  Ha!

  Shut up reporters!!

  by citizenx on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:24:56 PM PDT

  •  This is hilarious

    rude as ever and stoopid.

    by gchaucer2 on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:25:20 PM PDT

  •  Maybe they just talk to each other while real

    news happens.

    by CTMET on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:25:41 PM PDT

    •  Yup that is why they either get it wrong

      or didn't hear it to begin with (a perfect excuse for not reporting anything of substance)

      by sara seattle on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:38:38 PM PDT

•  Roger Ailes Newsroom

  Will Ohio State get a scholarship for their new Roger Ailes Newsroom?

  ATHENS, Ohio —  FOX News boss Roger Ailes will return to Ohio University later Tuesday for a ceremony rededicating the student radio and TV newsroom in his honor.

  Last fall, Ailes donated an undisclosed amount of money so his alma mater could expand and upgrade what will be called the Roger E. Ailes Newsroom. It is used by the university's WOUB radio station and by journalism students who produce daily news programs for cable TV.

  •  Ohio University

    is not Ohio State.  OSU is in Columbus.

    by tobendaro on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:49:37 PM PDT

    •  Tipped for reading comprehension

      That makes a lot more sense than a major university honoring this douche.

      by Scarce on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 06:21:20 PM PDT

    •  I guess Athens, Ohio...

      ...needs a new garbage dump site!

  by bumblebums on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:25:16 PM PDT

•  Shaddup Already! 8-J

  Is it really mics turned up too loud or are they just raucus?

  by JG in MD on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:25:23 PM PDT

•  LOL

  I wish she'd just say "could everybody please shut the fuck up."  Pretty much did anyway.

  by Lauren S on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:25:42 PM PDT

•   Did George really just stand up on a chair

  so that he would be taller than the scholarship winner?

  by Lauren S on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:27:02 PM PDT

  •  Uh yup!

    by gchaucer2 on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:27:32 PM PDT

  •  Yep, little man complex

    by citizenx on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:27:41 PM PDT

    •  yup - that is our Preznit

      a man of so many talents -

      I'm sure he does have some talents - doesn't he?? - can anyone mention one?

      just one?

      hmmm - no not me either.......

  by CTMET on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:27:16 PM PDT

  •  Hopefully they're all cannibals

    by Scarce on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:32:02 PM PDT

•  Eh... that was uneventful.

  by ThatPoshGirl on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:27:22 PM PDT

  •  We can talk among ourselves

    and make fun of everyone.  Posh, why don't you make this the mothership and give a call out for volunteers.  I can help with logistics if you want.

    by gchaucer2 on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:29:01 PM PDT

    •  Sure...

      by ThatPoshGirl on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:29:50 PM PDT

      •  Just add Mothership

        to your title.  Ask for volunteers to pick up the next diaries.  They should link to you to get and keep you on the rec list.  When a diary comes up -- just link to it.  I'll help the volunteers after that.

        by gchaucer2 on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:31:33 PM PDT

•  Do we have to watch them

  shove food in their mouths and get drunk for the next hour?

  by gchaucer2 on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:27:59 PM PDT

•  Dinner break!

  Back at 9:30

  by bws on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:28:35 PM PDT

  That's some menu.

  have red carpets, imho.

  by bugscuffle on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:29:17 PM PDT

  •  I'm sure they would be highly

    offended by your comment -- me, I agree whole-heartedly.

    by gchaucer2 on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:32:16 PM PDT

    •  Rented tuxedo?

      No red carpet for you!

  They're gonna eat for an hour. I'm bored. Is there another sandbox we can play in. Why isn't there a better party someplace? This is a drag. I drank good wine for this??

    the rubber chicken.

    •  No rubber chicken

      Berber spiced petite filet paired with tunisian tabil seared salmon.

  thread, when this one hits 150 posts?

  that Perez Hilton is there, dressed in Diesel.

  Perez Hilton gets invited to this?

  by ThatPoshGirl on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:31:40 PM PDT

  •  Her head does

    lean to the right -- does it not?

    by gchaucer2 on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:33:14 PM PDT

  •  There's an informal competition

    among the news organization to see who can get the most outrageous guest.  Like, if you can get G. Gordan Liddy and John Dean at the same table, for example.

    by bugscuffle on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:35:32 PM PDT

    •  Sanjaya from American Idol

      was a guest last year.

      Really.

  It's Dorothy Height!

  I thought she was dead. She is wonderful.

  One of my role models in my activist days.

  by JG in MD on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:32:11 PM PDT

•  This is so obscene

  when you think about what is going on in the real world.

  by gchaucer2 on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:34:27 PM PDT

  •  It's truly indescribable to me

    Boggles my mind on so many levels.

    by Lauren S on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:37:18 PM PDT

    •  This is the first one I've

      watched and I am astounded.  No wonder people vote like fucking morons.  "Celebraties" are more important than our war dead.

      by gchaucer2 on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:39:13 PM PDT

•  Oh look, some more war criminals

  by Scarce on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:34:33 PM PDT

•  Who tf is Ed Westwick?

  by ThatPoshGirl on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:35:14 PM PDT

•  Who the hell shows up for

  this shit to scream about war criminals, enablers and hangers on?  I want to puke -- but it would be a waste of decent wine.

  by gchaucer2 on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:36:47 PM PDT

  •  What's more bizarre?

    The journalists supposed to be holding the war criminals to account partying together like they're all on the same team?

    Or the fact that there is a freakin red carpet with a crowd of groupies there to scream and reach out to touch them?

    by Lauren S on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:38:51 PM PDT

    •  I can't even believe this

      event exists -- stenographer whores with war criminals -- it is just disgusting.

      by gchaucer2 on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:40:24 PM PDT

      •  Apparently it's not the only one either

        Now we get last week's Radio & TV Coorespondents Dinner w/ Dick Cheney while they eat.

        "The funniest person I know, Dick Cheney"
        Sounds about right.  Biggest war criminal in the nation, a true comedian.

        by Lauren S on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:44:21 PM PDT

        •  Wow, this one's even worse

          The head table of Dana Perino, Dick Cheney, two reporters from Fox, Brian Naylor of NPR, Mitch McConnell, Pelosi's communication director, and assorted other reporters, not even pretending to be on different teams.

          by Lauren S on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:48:05 PM PDT

•  Tracy Ullman and Craig Ferguson

  ...both recently became American citizens. Now they get to hobnob with Bush. How the mighty have fallen..

•  CALL OUT FOR VOLUNTEERS!!!

  Can anyone pick up a diary after Posh's?  Hers can be the Mothership and I can guide you through the logistics.  Thanks.

  by gchaucer2 on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:37:53 PM PDT

  •  I'm game.

    by citizenx on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:49:48 PM PDT

    •  Cool, thanks

      Just make a new thread when this one reaches 150 post or gets slow.  Call it WH Correspondents' Dinner Open Thread #2

      by ThatPoshGirl on Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 05:52:45 PM PDT

    •  When you set it up

      give a link to the Mothership (Posh's diary) and ask folks to rec that one and not yours.  If Posh's Mothership doesn't make it to the rec list -- ask for recs for your diary and make yours the Mothership.

•  Screaming? At a Journalists' dinner?

  That is creepy.

  Tracey Ullman!

  Okay, I'm having fun now. I want to see how many women are not wearing black! I hate seeing e'buddy in black.

  F'god's sake shut up! People in washington don't scream for anybody. We're too stodgy, or at least I thought we were.

  It's all Raygun's fault. Hollywood and DC don't mix well.

•  Ummm . . . They Did

  Back in the day, Kissinger used to date gorgeous women. Had a reputation for being very popular among the ladies.

  to Dick -- uber war criminal Cheney as a fill in.  Will just drink and read comments in silence.

•  C. Wright Mills called these people

  the Power Elite: interlocking directorates that connect power nodes across the military-industrial-entertainment complex. In the rarefied air at the top it really doesn't matter what your party affiliation is--this is about class and power ambitions. (Of course, we sprinkle some celebrity bling into the festivities as well as invite a few hapless examples of this year's freakish pop culture novelties--but these folks are on a day pass.) America, say hello to your ruling class.

  "Our dad died, but now we have an awesome new dad, so it's cool!" speech a little creepy?
