In Very Bad Taste

Last night was the White House Correspondents Dinner and I watched. It was like being a child watching some horrific act like your parents making love. It made me both nauseated and disgusted. It was a bi-partisan party so I was equally offended by both party members who attended. So for those of you who wish to get up for the partisan fight say your strength. This is not a partisan article.

First of all why is Hollywood invited to the White House Correspondents Dinner? What was Lindsey Lohan doing there? I wasn’t aware she had been allowed off house arrest. It both is sickening and disgusting that our elected officials fraternize with Hollywood who pick their pockets for special interests. Hollywood has billions of dollars they should spend their own money. If they were politicians it would be called pork barrel spending and it looked alive and well at the Correspondents Dinner last night.

God knows George Clooney was there for his handout. And he hated K-Street until he became K-Street and then it was all good. George go ask Berlusconi of your native country for a hand out because I am tired of you spending the peoples' money.

When did actors become important people? Actors memorize lines but do not create or invent anything nor report anything so why should they attend a White House Correspondents' Dinner except to pick the pockets of the taxpayer one more time. Is Hollywood even educated beyond the Communist of Manifesto?

So last night I watched a room full of Communists have party at the taxpayers’ expense and it was a sick sense of humor that parodies that of High School children. It would seem the issue with DC beyond all of Congress needs to be fired and it is a cult that is fundamentally. It is a bunch of bad communistic children who do not care if they act immature and stupid on the taxpayers’ dime. These are serious times and the President looks like he has been partying all weekend and not doing his job which I might add is a 24/7 job. What he left Joe Biden in charge of the country while he partied all weekend?

Fundamentally I think we need maturity in DC.

I don’t care that the POTUS claims to have eaten a dog but there goes the animal lovers votes and he might get a call from the Humane Society.

Boy Eat Dog!!

Left Humor

Obviously the left has a very different sense of humor then the middle. This may have cost Obama the election. It was in exceptionally poor taste, immature and wasteful. When Jimmey Kimmel told everyone the prostitute was worth every cent of the $800 it offends me as a North American. Obviously she was not. But the left takes any chance they can to tear down this country and it is both hurtful, distasteful and offensive.

Leaving no stone unturned Barack gives Hilary a kick in the gutt as well.

This Dinner was everythinhg I loath about the people who reside inside the beltway. It was excessive, immature, elitist, and down right mean. Atleast when George Bush did it he made fun of himself and not of others. And guess what all of our children get to pay for it in about 50 years along with all of Hollywoods pork projects.

What is clear is that The White House Correspondents' Dinner was nothing more then a party for the 1% which Obama proudly is a member. How can someone so elite represent the average ordinary people or even the disabled? He can't he is too busy making immature jokes at others expenses.
