The White House Correspondent Dinner

Here’s a video of Obama’s speech.

That was some pretty entertaining stuff. Last year he had Daily Show writers come up with his material, and I wouldn’t be surprised if they wrote his jokes this year.

Seth Myers was supposed to go on after him, but I can’t find his video yet.

Thoughts?

Wow, that was the best Correspondent Dinner bit I’ve seen. Birth video bit was awesome.

Meyers lighting into Trump was my favorite part, and Donald had to just take it. He’s going to call Meyers everything from a partisan hack to a nobody while trashing SNL as not being funny in 20 years within the next couple of days of course. O’Reilly was not amused either.

Anybody have a link to Meyers’ part yet?

Double click on the picture. Trump stuff starts around 12:00.

Did you never see Stephen Colbert raking George Bush over the coals? Best ever by far IMO.

The best part was watching Trump scowl at Meyers while around him people were peeing in their pants laughing. Talk about tone-deaf! The line about “Unless ‘The Blacks’ are a family of white people…” cracked me up.

I loved Obama’s line to Michelle Bachman:

“I hear you were born in Canada. [beat] That’s how it starts.”

Oh, and his comment to Trump about making tough decisions – firing Gary Busey from Celebrity Apprentice. :smiley:

That is a good way for a Head of State to say to a citizen (Trump) “Get it right up you, you fucking dolt”.

I watched his birth video and was immediately struck by the locale’s resemblance to Africa. Hmmm. Perhaps there really is something to this Birther stuff.

An eagle-eyed co-worker of mine spotted the event on the TV schedule, so we watched it as the evening wound down. It was very good! It made it really hard to concentrate on what I was supposed to be doing! As much as I was enjoying myself, I was kind of thankful when Seth Meyers finally wrapped things up because I did need to finish up.

Pretty excellent all around. The most amazing thing to me is that Donald Trump seemed to really not be expecting to be a target.

But still an Obama lie. That was obviously a cartoon. However investigators have found the actual video- and it’s pretty obvious why it was hidden: his mother in that is obviously black. Obama’s Full Negro! And never mind the numerous human-animal mutants worshiping him as a savior who are clearly the result of either bestiality or stem cell research.

Why was Trump even at the dinner? Does he own a network, have a show or write a column somewhere?

It sure looked like Trump left his sense of humor at home- rocking during Obama’s gig and scowling during Meyers. Too funny!

He’s an occasional commentator on Fox, which is the only connection I can think of. Of course there were several actors and Hollywood producers in attendance also.

I saw in an article somewhere that he was the guest of the Washington Post.

He was invited by the Washington Post. Good on them. Putting him in that room without a mic was the biggest punking of 2011.

I’m 90% sure this is the person at the Washington Post that invited him.

+1

There are those who can fly because they take themselves lightly, and those whose self-regard is so heavy they can crush people with it. And now you know what kind of guy Trump is.
