I'm thinking Bill Press, his wife, Peter Ogburn, his wife, Bernie and Jane but who else?

Watch CBSN at 6 p.m. ET for coverage of the 2016 White House Correspondents' Dinner
Red carpet arrivals will begin around 5:30 p.m. ET, the actual dinner begins at 7:30 p.m. ET.
CBS News guests are Aretha Franklin, Morgan Freeman, Damian Lewis, Lori McCreary, and Bernie Sanders as well as Defense Secretary Ash Carter, White House senior adviser Valerie Jarrett, Sens. Tim Scott and Amy Klobuchar, Reps. Steny Hoyer and Will Hurd, former U.S. Ambassador to Italy David Thorne and Walter Isaacson.
Mr. Obama and comedian Larry Wilmore are expected to deliver their remarks around 9:45 p.m. ET.
Now in the midst of the 2016 presidential campaign, Mr. Obama will almost certainly throw some humorous jabs at Donald Trump and some of the other Republican candidates, which he did last year at the beginning of the campaign. He said, for example, that "Donald Trump is here... still."

(41,132 posts)-Is Bernie Sanders At The White House Correspondents' Dinner? The Candidate Showed Up, Notably Tux-Less, Bustle, 4/30.
Don't go adjusting your screens, Bern-feelers, your eyes aren't deceiving you: The White House Correspondents' Dinner is totally feeling the Bern too with Sanders (tux or not) as the only presidential hopeful to make an appearance at tonight's event. While both parties front-runners Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton will not be attending, Sanders arrived in style (regardless of what the haters say).
Because all guests need to score an invitation from a news outlet to gain access to the festivities, Sanders' invite came courtesy of CBS.
Sanders' appearance is sure to delight his passionate fan-base who might be in need of a pick-me-up after a recent string of less-than-successful primary nights. In fact, it seems that he was one of the most popular guests at CBS' pre-party, according to CBSN Live's Mosheh Oinounou, with tons of attendees clamoring to take selfies with the Vermont senator.
Among Sanders' admirers of the night are The Nightly Show contributor Grace Parra, who tweeted that the senator was the "belle of the ball" already, and U.S. woman's soccer team goalie Hope Solo both managed to snag super cute pictures early on in the night. Other high profile Sanders supporters like Rosario Dawson and Mark Ruffalo will also be attending as guests of USA Today and The Boston Globe, respectively.

(28,078 posts)I completely missed that. How did that happen, she's such a Hillary shill?
Maybe Bernie had a chance to convince her to use her superdelegate status to support the results of the DFL caucuses.
