I said it before, I think these correspondents dinners are disgraceful. People whose sole concern it is to ruin people's lives..and then they all come together to laugh and drink while men and women are dying overseas. It makes me ill.

Jeez! You guys need to lighten up! None of us should laugh or have fun until the soldiers are home? Don't know about you but I like to have fun even when somebody else isn't.

They have been going on forever. Even President Bush gets in on the act. Remember Laura caught some flax when she got dirty at one of them? I think it is just part of the culture.

None, however, showed the video footage of the distinguished Brian Williams, anchor of the "NBC Nightly News," burping the "Battle Hymn of the Republic."

Thank you Hildy !!! I just said after reading this..." O.K. Now I can die ! I have finally SEEN AND HEARD IT ALL ! " .

Throw them ALL out ! Not funny! Then come on the t.v. the next day, after reading and seeing these clowns do and say what they did, and watch them PERFORM how serious they are about the troops !

BELCH THE BATTLE HYMN....WHAT? ...THE BATTLE....HYMN !

Walk into WALTER REED HOSPITAL and do that, Bryan ! And if the Pres. laughed at that....GO WITH HIM ! and do your thing there in front of the boys with no legs and arms..or half their head gone.

What you wrote was very well said and I agree with you 100%. I can't understand how a conservative administration would go to that dinner and make fools of themselves especially to a bunch of a$$ clowns whose sole purpose in life is to bring this country down. Especially any conservative government.

I agree, but even if we were not at war, I find it extremely rude and disgraceful. I wish these people would go live somewhere other than America and leave her to those of us who still appreciate what we have here and why we have a Battle Hymm.
