Two ladies who attended the dinner got onto the elevator to the parking garage with us. They were talking about some of the guests who had left early and were somewhat angry with this behavior, saying, "How would they feel if people in the audience left partway through their performance?" The people they were discussing were Mary Tyler Moore and Julie Andrews (and her husband). To be fair, both actresses could have had other engagements.

We met Mary Matalin while we were still outside just when the dinner was starting. She told us she was proud of what we were doing and shook some of our hands. Mary had to leave early to attend a friend's birthday party.

We had a great time at the DC Chapter's Fifth Annual White House Correspondents Association Dinner FReep!

I don't care what some Freepers say, Mary kept me sane during recount hell.... therefor I owe here a debt of gratitude

It sounds like you guys had a great evening. Did a lot of Freepers attend your Dinner FReep?

Was Mary's husband there?

Yeah that's strange about J.Andrews. She was at a pre-Christmas show that they have in the WH, right after 9-11. She was saying something about what a great show it was; and she sounded pretty complimentary toward the President. She said she was glad he had put the show on, especially being after 9-11. She said it was a way to heal people (and the country) after the tragedy(not exact words).
