Good point! I was thinking how Clinton felt obligated to control the event. He looked angry at having to be self deprecating
LOL! I think that is why Steve pointed out (as Bush's alter ego) "Why dan't I have dinner with the 36% that DO LIKE ME?"
It was WONDERFULLY written and BRILLIANTLY DELIVERED!
The Dims were there. She's not high on their list and there are lots of thoughts about how to get her off the ticket in 08
He made great comments about how immigrants must learn English and must sing the national anthem in English
Hi, www.cspan.org has a link on the upper right that says television schedules, so you can see what's on today and tomorrow-- I didn't find it and when I clicked on yesterday's link for the dinner, there was an ad to buy it for some 25 dollars :-(
What you could do is to call CSPAN and ask when it will be aired again
:-) It's like the Soviet Union never went away. It's the opposite of what they say.
LOL
:-) I loved her movies too.
Thanks for that information. I thought that they were friends :-)
:-) It was great to display the gap. It can only help us in the coming election
:-) That's wonderful that they did invite them -- Joe
Wilson is an embarassment to the Left.
What was the purpose of the Helen Thomas piece? Was it that once one is exposed to such ugliness, there is just no escaping it? That was just stupid.
Saw the replay on CSPAN a short time ago and changed the channel after five minutes of this Clymer. Not funny at all. The audience responded accordingly.
This has been an ongoing event since 1928. I think people who complain about the President joking with these people during wartime, etc., should take a look at the history of the Correspondents' Dinner, which took place through World War II, Korea, and Vietnam. It's part roast, part the president getting to let his hair down, so to speak. Some presidents have been better at this than others, it's always good to see that Bush hasn't lost his sense of humor over the past six years.
I do think Colbert was trying, it just wasn't the right forum and he's not that talented.
They were polite
I did enjoy the two Presidents! I loved how W could hardly hold his laughter back :-)
Oh come on...this dinner has been going on since 1914...there's NO way he could bow out.
"Same old big brother, different stripes."
And just where did it say that this was an unregulated public forum?
The owner of the website has a responsibility to monitor and curtail violations of posted rules and violations of civic liability (and has been involved in several lawsuits because of not stopping certain violations soon enough).
How about you provide full fiscal financial responsibility for FR, then you can decide who says what????
Clinton was unhappy with himself, and justifiably so.
I loved the line he had to memorize since it was so complicated then botched it anyway..."Nailed it!"
Everybody in the room was howling. That had to be the best gag ever given.
Then he is followed by a braindead hatefilled lib trying to bash the President at his dinner. Pathetic.
Pray for W and Our Troops
:-)
