Next year's White House correspondents' dinner will be hosted by a former employee of Planned Parenthood.
Cecily Strong, the anchor of Saturday Night Live's “Weekend Update,” will be the featured entertainer at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner next April 25. The glamorous event features an A-list of media agents and Hollywood stars in an annual celebration of the infotainment complex.
Strong told SNL alumna Rachel Dratch, “I worked at Planned Parenthood in Chicago for a long time in the corporate office” during an interview for Michigan Avenue magazine earlier this year.
“Her political humor is sly and edgy, and it comes with a Chicago accent,” WHCD President Christi Parsons told Politico.
In one of her skits, Strong's character broke up with her pro-life boyfriend after Lena Dunham explains that Planned Parenthood simply provides “low cost medical advice and care.” In fact, abortion accounts for 93.8 percent of its services to pregnant women.
Strong previously belittled the pro-life movement in the 2012 short, “How to Sponsor a Uterus.”
The politics of the dinner's emcee often affect the night's humor.
In 2009, lesbian comedienne Wanda Sykes used the platform to say Rush Limbaugh deserved to die for saying he hoped that Barack Obama failed to implement his platform. Sykes turned to President Obama, who was seated at the head table, and said, “You might want to look into this, sir, because I think maybe Rush Limbaugh was the 20th hijacker, but he was so strung out on Oxycontin, he missed his flight.” After asking if she went too far, she continued: “Rush Limbaugh! ‘I hope the country fails’? I hope his kidneys fail!”
President Obama laughed heartily at the remarks.

Hosting next year's White House gala will come almost one year to the day after Strong took part in Planned Parenthood of Illinois' fourth annual Generations Celebration. That event was co-chaired by Obama family intimate Susan Pritzker.
Weird..... Planned Parenthood - invented to murder thousands of black babies..... and now they’re at the White House...... Racist Margaret Sanger would be proud.
Sandra Fluke keep checking all seven of her Obamaphones, and none of them are ringing with White House directors requesting her to make a speech or cut an Opening Day Ribbon at the new Abortuary. Why is nobody calling?
Oh, wait, there is that one person who wont stop texting;
Cindi Sheehan, again! I have told her before, we share nothing in common, nothing!
You left out at the White House with first Black President.

April 25th—yep—that’s the night I sort my sock drawer. Oh, well.
It is amazing how these people celebrate failure. Abortion is the ultimate failure. It is a failure of planning, a failure of thought and a moral failure of epic proportions.
Why do Republicans show up for these liberal *O&&*&* festivals?
They are going to disrespect everything you stand for- why the hell are they aiding them?
