For the second straight year, the annual White House Correspondents’ Dinner has been canceled due to the novel coronavirus pandemic.
In a statement Wednesday, the leadership of the White House Correspondents’ Association wrote that they “have worked through any number of scenarios over the last several months, but to put it plainly: while improving rapidly, the COVID-19 landscape is just not at a place where we could make the necessary decisions to go ahead with such a large indoor event.”

Instead, the WHCA “will spend the next few months celebrating and honoring the First Amendment, the remarkable journalism produced over the last year and the promising young reporters who will serve as the next generation in our ranks,” including presenting the awards and scholarships it normally gives out at the annual dinner.
The dinner, which D.C. insiders jokingly refer to as “Nerd Prom,” has traditionally been one of the most star-studded affairs in Washington, with celebrities and power players packing the ballroom at the Washington Hilton to hear the president of the United States roast the press, and a celebrity host roast the president.
President Trump broke from tradition by declining to attend for the first three years of his presidency. Last year’s dinner, which was slated to be hosted by Saturday Night Live’s Kenan Thompson, was officially canceled in June, after being pushed back from its annual April perch.

What, they can’t trash the old derelict on Zoom?
2020 twas cancelled because Trump wouldn’t play along
2021 twas cancelled because they aren’t gonna mock Joe Biden until Kamala Harris is sworn in as president.
Not surprised. They have an overflowing smorgasbord of
Nit-Wit/ Dumb Bell behavior to chose from, but they are afraid to do it at all.
Just cracking jokes about Hunter alone is good for at least 45 minutes. Then those little Go-Go Boots the First Lady likes to wear with fishnets. This is Clown City!
Having the press repeatedly bowing down on the floor and licking Biden’s shoes is currently unsafe.
Anyone who thinks the boot-licking sycophantic press was going to kid Biden is smoking crack. It was going to be a parade of mask-wearing morons doing backflips to avoid talking about Hunter, Burisma, Ukraine, the border, and dementia and reaching back for a little stale Trump trashing. This “institution” is well past its sell-by date and deserves to get flushed.
It’s because Biden couldn’t handle ‘a crowd’ nor speak.

It really devolved into an absurd event. Remember the alleged comedienne in 2018 who told abortion jokes?
He’d get visibly riled up and agitated by the roasting by the hosting.
Well, don’t they see each other and have dinner all the time?
....with music as well...
Anything that requires a crowd they’re going to avoid. He cannot focus and would be like a distracted kid on stage.
State of the union cancelled.....check.
WH correspondence dinner cancelled.....check. Meeting with Japanese diplomat cancelled.....check.
Fake video released talking to press.....check.
Has this clone been seen in a public setting (other than falling up the stairs)?
The shark, it was jumped.
It was a gross award show, minus attractive people.
I’m so happy tonight to be hosting the annual Washington Correspondent’s Dinner ... Oh, I guess I should say Co-Respondent’s for most of you. How’s that alimony conference going now that your girlfriend has left you? We’re so glad to have Jill Biden in attendance tonight. Don’t think we guys haven’t noticed you wearing those sexy stockings lately, Jill. Do they remind you what sex is like? Speaking of sex, what’s your husband Joe doing running naked after dogs and hurting himself? Reliving his high school years? Oh! And there you are, Joe! No one is really sure if you’re President or not, least of all you! Some of your younger admirers have probably been telling you you have a smoking hot body in old age, but they’re referring to cremation! Hey, there’s Kamala Harris right next to you at the table there. Waiting for you to keel over, probably! People have no idea what a promiscuous impressionist Kamala is! She does everybody! Oh, hey, it’s Pete Buttigieg in the cloak room! No accident that you’re heading up the Department of Trans-Portation, is it? I’d say hi to Jen Psaki but she’s busy circling back to the champagne fountain again and again and again! That’s all for me! Remember to tip your National Guard wait staff!
OUCH/LOL!
Good job!
Thanks! I’ll be at the Grand Hyatt all weekend! Bring the folks!
The rats that live in Biden’s basement are safe for the moment.
