WASHINGTON - First lady Laura Bush stole the show with a surprise comedy routine that ripped President Bush and brought an audience that included much of official Washington and a dash of Hollywood to a standing ovation at a dinner honoring award-winning journalists. The president planned a speech late Saturday at the 91st annual White House Correspondents' Association dinner, but was quickly "interrupted" by his wife in an obviously planned ploy. "Not that old joke, not again," she said to the delight of the audience. "I've been attending these dinners for years and just quietly sitting there. I've got a...

Actress Drew Barrymore is filming a documentary aimed at persuading young people to vote. She recently happened upon members of the D.C. chapter of FreeRepublic.com, the conservative grass-roots network, as they conducted a Washington protest. "Can I ask you guys a question?" Miss Barrymore said. "You come out and you protest. Do you feel that it makes a difference? Do you feel that you reach people?" Group leader Kristinn Taylor answered: "We used to do this down at the White House every Saturday for a couple years when Bill Clinton was there. It goes like this" — and here Mr....

WASHINGTON, D.C. (AdAge.com) -- The governing cliche of the White House Correspondents' Dinner, held May 1 at the Washington Hilton, is that it's a one-night-only event where the culture's set of shared http://www.adage.com/images/random/affleck0503.jpg -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- assumptions about celebrity -- in particular, the relationship between the famous and those who celebrate them -- is inverted. But score one for conventional wisdom, which every now and then gets it right. For proof, one only had to witness the packed hallways of the Hilton just before dinner. The crowd of well-wishers demanding snapshots with Internet gossip-and-links purveyor Matt Drudge -- outfitted for the occasion...

<p>Steve Doocy was in Washington during the White House Correspondents Dinner. He also toured many of the Washington monuments with the rest of his family, and another visiting family.</p> <p>He went to the after party at the Hay Adams hotel. His kids ran ahead of him, and got on the elevator. They went up ahead of him. But when Doocy went to push the elevator button it wouldn't work.</p>

<p>May 2, 2004 -- WASHINGTON - President Bush tempered lighthearted remarks to a gathering of journalists last night with a declaration that the nation is in a "period of testing and sacrifice" spearheaded by a "new generation of Americans as brave and decent as any before it." "As I speak, men and women in uniform are taking great risks and so are many journalists . . . being faithful to their own sense of duty," the president told the 90th annual White House Correspondents' Association dinner.</p>

The D.C. Chapter's Sixth Annual FReep of the White House Correspondents Association (WHCA) Dinner took place on Saturday afternoon and evening.

Speaking truth to the power that is the press, FReepers adopted the theme that the media's overly pessimistic coverage of Iraq is getting our troops killed. The media distortions are causing others, both friends and foes of the U.S., to question our resolve. Although the theme of the evening was quite serious, we had a blast gently...
