All FReepers and lurkers in good standing are invited to join the D.C. Chapter of Free Republic at our 8th annual freep of the White House Correspondents Dinner on Saturday, April 29, 2006 in Washington, D.C.
This is our most fun freep of the year. You never know who in the media and political world you'll meet there. Over the years, we've met and debated the likes of Al Franken, razzed Paul Begala and James Carville, been filmed by Drew Barrymore, cheered on Fox News reporters and freeped the liberal media with humor and serious barbs.
Afterward, we retire to the hotel where the dinner is held and watch it on TV in the bar while we dine and relax with our FRiends.
When: 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday, April29, 2006
Where: Across from the Washington Hilton, 1900 Connecticut Avenue and T Street, NW, Washington D.C.
This is a rain or shine event.
As always, the D.C. Chapter's rules for protesting will be in effect. Briefly, they are: No violence, no profanity, no racism, no provocations, obey the law and treat all law enforcement officers with respect.
Ralph Nader didn't realize until too late that we were chanting THANK YOU RALPH! THANK YOU RALPH! THANK YOU RALPH! because he siphoned off Gore votes and W won.
Hope to see you there next week.
Hey takoma!
4-8? I can make it, but would have to leave early....is it still worth the first couple of hours? Or is all the excitement at the end?
(Hope this isn't a double reply)
Early or late is worth it or any time in between. You never know who is going to be seen and when, so the whole time is one of watchful anticipation.
TGSL - I assume you all( a little Southern lingo there) will be at Walter Reed the night before?
Rats! Guess your obit in the far distant future will read, "He wished he could have worked more."
We'll miss your presence. We know that you're doing serious work - stay well.
we HAVE to respond to those situations, as our new little company is under contract & MUST "drop everything & show up", whenever we are called, 24/7.
we've been averaging 1-4 of those calls a day for the last 6 weeks.

Does the WHC require dressing a cut above the normal?

If you're going to join us in the hotel afterward, I think a polo shirt and slacks are fine.
