CSPAN ^ | 4-30-11

Obama and Seth Meyers headline

Politics and Hollywood collide again at tonight's annual White House Correspondents' Association Dinner. The event has evolved into a star-studded affair as celebrities descend upon Washington, joining journalists and President Obama.

This year's comedian headliner, Saturday Night Live's Seth Meyers, is charged with the task of poking fun at the President and Washington politics.

Each year, the President uses the occasion to show a more humorous side as well, making fun of himself and the people who cover him.

The purpose of the annual dinner is “to raise money for WHCA scholarships and honor the professional recipients of the WHCA's journalism awards," according to the White House Correspondents' Association (WHCA) website.

C‑SPAN begins tonight’s live coverage with the red carpet arrivals at 6:45pm EST. See complete coverage at C‑SPAN's White House Correspondents' Dinner webpage.

“...Trump is steaming”

as well he should be. That was more an attack on Trump (and incidentally Republicans) and fawning over Obama (Michelle looked pretty? Who was he kidding? Her?)

I knew I didn’t want to click on this tread. Gave up watching the WH Correspondents Dinner when they had Steven Colbert, who spent his whole time attacking Bush. How redundant1 Isn’t that what the WH press corps was for in those days?

This is a campaign commercial by media for Obie

I agree...very very partisan. And nasty to the GOP. We need to get some serious candidates but FAST!

It is good Trump was pissed. He took names and is not the type to forget. I think Trump may have a pressor on Monday.

You’re exactly right. Obama’s jokes didn’t get many, if any, laughs. No surprise as they weren’t funny.

Wanda is crude. This guy is a tool for the Dem political machine. There’s a huge difference.

I see white people. They’re out there calling Trump and Republicans racist meanwhile they had a handful of “blacks” at their big event. The only joke tonight was the press themselves.

I’m happily watching Dr. Who on BBC America instead of the disgrace in Washington, but monitoring here and Hot Air . . . Am I correct in my understanding that the general hate-fest launched by Obama and the rest left the Palins essentially untouched?

Even the MSM on twitter seem a bit surprised at the Trump jokes. I’m no Trump fan but what Obama and NBC did to him tonight was down right cruel. And not the least bit funny.

I’m not a Trump fan so don’t watch it. Don’t watch anything on NBC in fact.
