my advice to the President if he was not amused:

STOP GOING TO THIS EVENT

[Thebaddog]

How about the loon exercise instructor in LA who trashed Bush while one his daughters was in attendance? It's way too fashionable to trash the president personally, IMHO. Who on earth do these people think they are? Have they no respect at all?

[Jimbaugh]

I liked when IMUS jumped ugly at theWhite House Correspondents Dinner when clinton was in office. That was really rude. I still have the tape.

Why do the President go to theses events??

[italianquaker]

exactly why socialize with these as-holes

[pollyannaish]

You know, the press hates him enough as it is. As much as I am sure he would like to quit going...it would just make his job harder.

It's tough to be president. It's tougher to be a honorable, do the right thing kind of president.

Given the nails-on-chalkboard insanity of last evening's "performances" I'd say yours is a very reasonable suggestion.
