White House Correspondents’ Dinner: Send In The Clowns
Victory Girls ^ | 1 May 2022 | Lisa Carr

Posted on 05/03/2022 5:14:17 AM PDT by Rummyfan

It’s been likened to school starting after a long summer’s break. After two years, The White House Correspondents’ Dinner (WHCD) has returned to D.C.

The event featured “a diverse group” of attendees to include Trevor Noah headlining after the two-year hiatus as well as Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson’s Red Carpet debut. Oh, the joy. Melinda French Gates, Martha Stewart, Sophia Bush and Drew Barrymore were also in attendance.

The event, often dubbed “Nerd Prom” was much anticipated after it’s two-year break with much buzz across the beltway. Side note: Honestly, why they call it the “Nerd Prom” is beyond me. It’s an insult to nerds. To call this a “Nerd Prom” would be implying there was some small amount of intellect here. Many commented on the event of the evening-one that has been organized to commemorate the “important” contribution journalists have to this “democracy” of ours. (I think I just gagged). Here is what some of them said:

So here’s one of the few good things about the WHCD: It recognizes good student journalists and brings a handful of them to the dinner. I teach in the journalism school at NYU and student journalists do a lot of important work that gets picked up by major outlets (sometimes with no credit). Recognizing the real work they do is one of the better things the correspondents’ association does. It’s so nice to see the next generation of journalists being recognized and encouraged, especially in an environment that’s increasingly hostile to journalists.”-Elizabeth Spiers

Antiquated circle-jerk of libtards patting each other on the back and handing out participation awards.

The really interesting thing: The dinner was canceled.

Why can’t Deep State allow the POTATUS to eat or drink in public...?

Trevor Noah is quite possibly the unfunniest “comedian” ever.

Agreed. But as a black South African he was the perfect demo hire. Of course I was never a fan of Jon Liebowitz either. The Daily Show is a piece whose time has come and gone. The real news is already a parody, so who needs a parody of a parody?

she did fit into Marilyn's dress but had to take baby steps. Would be interesting to know if Marilyn had to walk the same way. I do know marilyn had to be sewed into the dress

It would have been funnier if the Babylon Bee folks had done the honors. That said Trevor Noah had some had some funny lines and wasn't as hateful toward conservatives as I had expected.

The nerd prom? The writer Lisa Carr is correct - that's delusional and implies more intellect that the MSM can muster.
