OK.. not true.. I made that up... :silly:

[malaise]

9. CSpan 1 is showing the arrivals

Helen Thomas - Fucks Murdoch his wife and the rest of Fux and Wolfie.

[blogslut]

11. Steve Scully worst red carpet reporter evar

I swear he said this tonight:

"Here comes Rachel Ray. She has that show."

[KittyWampus]

15. reading comments like yours are invariably more entertaining than the real thing

[Maru Kitteh]

10. Ugh. I cant believe a woman that pretty lets Rupert Murdoch touch her naked.

GROSS! BLECH.

[SoCalDem]

82. She likes the way his (.....) feels when it touches her nude body..

mouse over * to see what (it) is

[UTUSN]

12. What does this PENCE Rethug have to do with the "correspondents"? Whoa, he zinged Mika Mouse!1 n/t

[blogslut]

16. C-SPAN is replaying a previous dinner

To kill time while tonight's attendees wash their dry chicken down with cheap Chablis.

[UTUSN]

20. Whups, & I just typed to the bone for the zingers!1 n/t

[HipChick]

21. McCaskill telling Mika to shut up was worth it..

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

13. Peter Slen called justin bieber "pop tart"

i guess he meant pop star.

[blogslut]

18. You're right

The dude doing the awful red-carpet blah blah is Peter Slen, not Steve Scully.

I am so ashamed.

[UTUSN]

14. Whoa, the PENCE Rethug is mocking Shrub, doing the impersonation all the

actual comedians do, gestures and twang and dumbness.

[UTUSN]

17. Ha! McCASKILL, blizzard "streets were so TIED UP Mike STEELE & RNC paid to look at them!"

And "Eric MASSA would have loved to have been here, in fact would have been TICKLED to be here!1" Pa-rum-pum!1

[UTUSN]

19. "PALIN was here but left before it was halfway through."

"I'm a fan of Mika's. She grew up in D.C., and perhaps (SCABS) will, too."

[malaise]

22. Who are you hear to see

What a dumb question - everyone has answered the same - President Obama.

[blogslut]

25. Ha!

At least that question is a refreshing change from "Who are you wearing?"

[malaise]

23. I watched this Biden speech before

It's freaking hilarious

[Maru Kitteh]

24. Was that tortured creature in the purple dress a Versace?

Yikes.


Stop. The plastic surgery.

[malaise]

26. Versace herself

the sister :evilgrin:

[Cleita]

30. I loved the dress. Really pretty. n/t

[Maru Kitteh]

39. The dress was pretty but she looked pre-embalmed. n/t

[Cleita]

86. Actually, she looked better than she has in the past.

She seemed to have toned down the garish makeup and white hair. Look at these photos of her from before.

http://www.google.com/images?client=safari&rls=en&q=photos+of+Donatella+Versace&oe=UTF-8&um=1&ie=UTF-8&source=univ&ei=r-rcS_-xOoyS8gTknb2yBw&sa=X&oi=image_result_group&ct=title&resnum=1&ved=0CBUQsAQwAA

Could it be that she's really old and no amount of plastic surgery will help anymore?

[BlooInBloo]

27. More importantly, Cavs vs Celtics is on TNT.

[blogslut]

28. The shoveling down of the dry chicken is almost complete

Head's up n' stuff

[malaise]

31. Pres and Michelle are speaking with Helen Thomas

Where is the Pres going? Must be to the little boys room

[Cleita]

29. I'm seeing a lot of bad table manners there.

Are Washington's powerful no better than baptized bears?

[lib2DaBone]

32. Maybe I'm Crazy... but what do these Reporters have to be proud of?

Their coverage of the Afghan War? Their coverage of the Iraq War? Their coverage of 8 million jobs gone to China? Their coverage of the Oil Spill?

What exactly do these "reporters" do?

[Cass]

45. Excellent point!

A good majority of them suck big time and have failed miserably at their jobs. The news is a joke.

[boppers]

33. STARTING

yay!

[blogslut]

34. Is C-SPAN screwing up for anyone else?

?

[HipChick]

35. yep..but it came back

[blogslut]

37. So I missed the humorous filmed bit?

?

[boppers]

36. That was a way of saying "sit down" eom

[blogslut]

38. I got that

but the video kept freezing n stuff

[malaise]

40. Pres on now n/t

[blogslut]

41. And it's a big f@ckin' deal!

heehee

[Maru Kitteh]

44. meal. he said meal, lol! Even better!

[malaise]

42. Genius - tears the birthers a new one

Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

[Maru Kitteh]

43. It's a big bleeeep fucking MEAL. - Love it!

[malaise]

47. Ouch - gives Leno a nice lick for us

:evilgrin:

Goldman Sachs makes money whether you laugh or not.

[HipChick]

48. ..he is slamming GOP tonight..

[LiberalAndProud]

46. Slammed Leno.

funny stuff.

[malaise]

49. Steele - Notorious GOP

Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah :rofl:

What a lick fi the GOP re Charlie Crist.
That McCain joke is way too deep for those media hacks.

[ClarkUSA]

50. MSNBC banner: "Demand For Tickets For This Year's Event Is Greatest Ever"

:)

[HipChick]

51. except they had to turn away about 560

[ClarkUSA]

87. Wow. President Obama is always the hottest ticket wherever he goes.

:)

[HipChick]

53. FB as Palin calls it ...socialized media...

[malaise]

54. Hits Mitt a new one

for memory loss

[HipChick]

55. nice touch to mention miners and oil spill..

[blogslut]

56. Nice close for the president

I think he was a bit off this year. My guess is that he too busy to take the time to rehearse.

Leno is already sucking.

[blaze]

57. Agreed

I thought the Pres was better last year too....

But that chuckle of his still gets me. :)

[HipChick]

58. I think he intentionally kept it more sombre..

[LiberalAndProud]

59. He seemed troubled. Or is it just me?

I'm sure he's not feeling particularly sympathetic to the press, given the Enquirer's tripe today.

[blogslut]

63. I doubt he gives one whit about the stupid Enquirer's crumbling "story"

As I stated, my guess is he probably didn't rehearse much and might not have his heart in it considering all the lousy stuff going on with the oil catastrophe.

[LiberalAndProud]

69. Lies piss me off.

Can't imagine that he's not affected by them.

[HipChick]

84. I doubt it...

I've lived in washington too long..the same folks you see calling each other names and accusing each other of stuff...are the same ones sitting down enjoying dinner together when you walk into a restaurant..

[annabanana]

89. (retrospect: . . : times square bomb). . .n/t

[malaise]

60. Yep but the McCain joke was brilliant n/t

[Maru Kitteh]

61. Leno - still not funny.

[otohara]

62. Leno is Sucking Badly

ugh!

[malaise]

65. I detest him n/t

[goclark]

88. He is just not funny to me ~ I'm old ,Johnny Carson wea funny

really funny.

Jon Stewart is funny IMO.

Leno ~ not funny.

[blaze]

64. Pres did *much* better than Leno is doing! n/t

[malaise]

66. OK the Palin and Blitzer jokes

were good

[Firehawk]

67. Wow! Leno is bad tonight

I like Leno more than a lot of other people on here, but he is horrendous tonight. This is awful and painful. Obama was funnier than him. This makes the year Rich Little hosted seem like a laugh riot.

[Liberal In Texas]

68. Leno's dying out there.

The audience is an oil painting.

[malaise]

71. He was mostly awful n/t

[blaze]

72. Yep

Definitely an Obama win!! :)

[UTUSN]

74. Lousey LENO, the lamest ever, anybody. COLBERT the best. slIMUS the vicious n/t

[SoCalDem]

78. Jay Lame-o

He's never been "funny".. occasionally amusing (at the beginning of his career), but not "funny".

The Press Club should have invited Conan O'Brien instead.

or Jon Stewart (they ALL watch him and use his clips)

Leno is one step up from Rich Little

[madamesilverspurs]

70. Lousy tech work, lousy audio.

Either that, or the audience is alternating between sleeping and mumbling.

Yeesh.


-

[PCIntern]

73. whole production was 'off' IMO...

Leno not funny and showed old stuff!

President slightly better than Leno but not as polished as last year: almost as if his head were elsewhere,which it probably is and should be.

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

75. Post-Dinner talking heads on msnbc say BO was better than Leno.

edit: the host (don't know his name) just called the hotel the "Hinckley Hilton"

classy.

[bdamomma]

81. yes, the pres was better than leno

couldn't they think of someone better? even Maher would have been better

[HipChick]

83. He just mis-pronounced President Obama's name too ...WTF?

[lib2DaBone]

77. I like Leno because I collect old cars...

but as a political commentator.. wow... what a flop.......

It's just amazing how these Presstitues can go there dressed in their evening finest... while, because of their LOUSY LACK OF JOURNALISTC SKILLS.. the country goes down the tubes.

[johnnyrocket]

79. Leno was horrible! NBC Should have canned him years ago.

Man, like Letterman and Kimmel ( and I'm sure Conan ) have been saying, Leno's a boob and an idiot.

[samplegirl]

80. Leno completely boring....

I knew there was a reason I don't watch him. Bring back Cobert and Wanda Sykes.

[bdamomma]

85. Wanda Sykes was good they should of asked Whoopi!

Leno was very dry, and the audience was not at all receptive to him
