CNN's Peter Hamby reports that Louis CK, the comic who repeatedly attacked Sarah Palin with vile sexual slurs, has withdrawn from headlining the 68th annual Radio and Television Congressional Correspondents Association dinner set for June 8, 2012 in Washington, D.C. Hamby quotes Louis CK's agent saying, "He just didn't want to do it anymore."
The decision by Louis CK to drop out of the dinner came on the heels of a boycott of the dinner over his appearance by Fox News' Greta Van Susteren announced last night.
Free Republic gave prominence to Louis CK's role at the dinner and his vile attacks on Palin in an article posted in Breaking News on Monday night. From there, talk radio hosts Mark Levin and Sean Hannity made an issue of the situation with the dinner on their respective radio shows. Several blogs and Twitter users also highlighted Free Republic posted article about the issue.
Brent Bozell at Newsbusters originally reported on the dinner Monday, but buried mention of it in a column on the Rush Limbaugh-Sandra Fluke controversy.
Greta is definitely moving to the right. I still remember her first broadcast on Fox after she came over from cnn. Even (the ol’ toe sucker) Dick Morris had to firmly remind her that she didn’t work for cnn anymore! I e-mailed Ailes to “fix her or ditch her”, and apparently he did, because she promptly cleaned up her act after that and has been a good conservative trooper ever since (at least on air)...

Excellent!
While you might place this in the “Free Speech” catagory, noone should have asked this dude in the first place...pure insanity to have thought this would go over well.
Hey, another thought...
how about that a**hat Letterman????
He diddles his intern at work, says things like a 14 yr old gets “knocked up” by A Rod, is so totally up the river for O’bummer and IS NOT FUNNY....
what, he gets a pass??? Why?
Target sighted...aim...fire!
Vistory is SWEET. One of the posts that lit the engines of conservativism that destroy the Obama movements attempt tp vilify Rush Limbaugh. MAY IT CONTINUE!

Truth, Exposure and Ridicule. The Winston Churchill recipe on fighting fascism.
I thought Michelle Bachmann was terrific on Hannity last night.
She said a couple of times that “Maher is a pig.”

Thank you!!
Ping anyone you want. Doing so does not change the fact that the man remains irrelevant as he is a relatively unknown two bit comedian.
Kudos to Free Republic and to Greta as well!
lot of us makin it happen
Interesting. Thanks for that link in #71, advertising guy!
Buuuuump!
you have the link that is th running Sheriff Joe video...the professional one made by the Tea Party as well ??
This dinner, along with the Gridiron dinner, became irrelevant as soon as C-span started televising it..long ago, they were all off the record, and way off-color..and fun..
Thank you for your insights, dear ken5050!
