A woman has gotten the attention of the country for texting during the national anthem at the White House Correspondents Dinner.

That made me laugh.

Washington Compost employee.

Helena’s no stranger to covering Washington’s glitziest denizens, either, having grilled folks on many a red carpet during her stint at Politico. She’s also freelanced for the Root and written a book about her D.C. adventures.
"The Fix"?
Is that a new sitcom starring Bill and Hill Clintoon?

THAT made me laugh
He seems to be impatient for the anthem to end.
No hand over his heart certainly not singing along.
But at least he isn’t texting!
You got T-storms?

I thought "The Fix" was a docu-drama staring McConnell, Boner and 0bama.

“She was taking notes on the lyrics...”
She was translating with her Ebonics app.
