WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Bush and top members of his administration mingled and shared laughs Saturday with Washington reporters, insiders and some outsiders -- including famed British rocker Ozzy Osbourne -- at this year's White House Correspondents dinner.
Comedian Drew Carey was on hand to provide the entertainment during the more than three-hour event, doing stand-up comedy for the president and more than 1,800 guests, from top White House adviser Karl Rove to hard rocker turned reality show star Ozzy Osbourne.

Bingo. Thanks for proving my point. I've no more right to act as a spokesman for Ozzy than you've the right to pass judgement on him based on his appearance.
But tell us, is Osbourne pro-gun and self-defense in England?
Damned if I know, he lives here in the states.
I'm glad I'm not all political, all the time.
In the middle of a crowd of DC media figures, sits Ozzy.
You think that the normal thing to do would have been ignore the fact that he was there? Sort of like passing gas in an elevator, and everyone pretending it didn't happen?
Of course he had to make a joke about it!
Oh! I've seen some real nasty insults here in FR, but this one tops them all.
Not even the real Pri(n)ce of Darkness deserves that!
You're right about your not having a right to being Ozzie Ork's spokesman, you're wrong about me not having a moral obligation and right to judge this vulgar, profane creep.
I suppose you are part of the 'thought police'?
Okay, O.O.'s a british rocker who lives in the USA, where does he stand on gun control and the Second Ammendment?
I know of no good person who would do the above. Ozzie presents this image to make money and destroy that which made this country great. He is as much of a cultural barbarian as illegal aliens.
In my book, his present language, his psuedo 'music', his dress and inclusion of satanism in his act qualify for the 'dirt bag' designation. I can only guess his politics are the same as Klintoon.
Why give credibility to someone who obviously has some serious character flaws?
You know, like WWF.
So the WWF is now the new standard of everything in show business? LOL!! By which everything else is judged? LOL!!
Ozzie Ork needs to clean up his 'act'.
No Maggie, that is what I chose as a screen name because I fly--but I love Your Song
The fact that he's not as uptight and judgemental as some of the posters on this thread.
He's not even close to being as evil as either of the Clintons or Carvilles, or all the others. Even if he's evil it just doesn't reach their level.
He must be for guns----in one of his first shows when they were unpacking, he was looking for his gun. He and his son were on the stairs looking at the gun when Kelly came by and made an anti-gun comment and they told her to get out.
Say what you will about his fashion sense, but his longevity in a competitive business like the professional rock and roll touring circuit is almost unprecedented. Why is this? His brand of rythmic heavy rock and roll laced with a campy satirical lyrical flair is some of the most energetic and influential of its genre. In fact, most credit Black Sabbath with creating the heavy metal sound.
This is a man who grew up in post-war Aston in Birmingham England and has essentially made it on his own. He recently joined the USO tour performing for our troops, and personallly visited several fire stations in New York to offer support.
He is a first rate rock musician who sang some of rock and roll's most timeless standards. As such, his recognition among DC's elite press and politicoes is frankly well-deserved.
Now, did I say that?
Ozzie Ork needs to clean up his 'act'.
Yes, so people like you will 'like' him.
