It will be like a funeral.

A Commie hate-fest for treasonous Derpers. How original.

DC Chapter used to post some great protests of this event.

If humor is ‘more important than ever’ now, maybe they should aim the jokes at themselves for once? Oh wait, Leftists really don’t have a sense of humor, do they?

They're so full of themselves - and so pathetically dumb.

I take great comfort in watching these useless, self-important pieces of S**T go out of business.

“Muslim comedian”

“Good evening, good evening! Welcome to No-drink minimum.

“Tonight we answer the tough questions, like ‘when did you stop beating your wife?’

[shrugs] “Why would I do that?

“But seriously folks....”

“I’d argue that humor is more important now than ever.”

Truth and fairness... Not so much.

Their jokes always sound like “Republicans are stupid”.

It’s not “comedy”. It’s just “insulting”.

The Leftist lapdog media are incapable of laughing at themselves, as Karl suggests they should do. They “laugh,” sneer actually, only at us deplorables (read: real Americans).

The biggest joke of this dinner is Karl's claim that it is "a nonpartisan event."

The media lies, it's what they do. There is no laughing at comedy, their so called jokes drip with hatred, which is seldom funny. As far as bipartisan, are they also trying to say their reports are not biased? Their lies are provable, they are fake, they are phony, they are hypocrites.

“How many Democrats does it take to count the votes in Iowa?”

“No clue, They are still counting!”

If they really want comedians at this annual wake, they should invite the writing staff from Mad Magazine. I hear they are all available now.

I am reminded of the correspondents' dinner scene in Advice and Consent, where the President used the occasion to announce his intention to stick with Leffingwell as his SOS nominee. I suspect that viewers of the movie 60 years ago would have been surprised at the tactic. Today the dinner is so irrelevant that no one outside the Inner Circle of DC will notice or care.

Correct, it's just a way to stroke the egos of the pretenders who want something to feel like a Hollywood awards show that they would never be invited to.

DC Chapter had a fun time demonstrating outside the White House Correspondent’s dinner. One year, we cheered Ralph Nader, third party candidate who took some votes from the Dem candidate. Ralph smiled when he first saw us from a distance, but changed his face quickly when he got close enough to read our signs and hear us thanking him for helping to elect a Republican.

Just have to be sure that we import the waiters and cooks from Wuhan.

These two goofs are “celebrity glitz and glamour”? No wonder they call it the “Nerd Prom”.

“”The dinner has a serious message””

Can’t imagine what that would be..
