    White House Correspondants Dinner 2012.....

    The White House Correspondants Dinner. What do you know about this dinner? What do you think about this dinner? Below is a description of what the Dinner use to be like.....

    The White House Correspondents' Association dinner -- not so long ago merely a cozy annual assemblage of journalists and the politicians and operatives who are their sources -- has now gone Hollywood to such an amusing extent that workaday D.C. is getting seriously squeezed. For much of the event's existence, the president was the undisputed guest of honor, and members of the entertainment industry such as Bob Hope and Milton Berle were solely called on to, well, entertain onstage.....snip~


    That is a good description of what it use to be like. Such is no longer the case.


    For the 98th iteration on April 28 -- at which Jimmy Kimmel will roast Barack Obama -- there have been 3,800 formal requests for spots in the 2,700-seat ballroom. "And that's not including all of the nonmember news organizations that want to attend," says WHCA president and Reuters correspondent Caren Bohan. The demand has come in part from media company bigwigs, who in the past wouldn't have bothered with an event run by and for their newsroom drudges, along with blue-chip advertisers who see an invite as one of the perks of being a client. Many established outlets that take 10 or more tables have lost a portion of their allotment this year -- NBC is down three, CNN at least two -- as more new-media outlets are invited. As one cable news exec grouses, "They have to give tables to bull$#@!.com.".....snip~

    This is an event that is recognized as an event for the Elites. An event where actual reporters and Adminstrations Officials plus most politicans are not even able to attend. Where Televison Media gets to feel Like Academy Award Winning Stars. Media coverage uses the Term Elites. They do this when either party is in an Office. Yet what is interesting to note is just who is classified as Elites on the Left and with a Democratic Administration in power. Not even all of Hollywoods top Actors and Actress are attending. To get around this. The Media stations adopted the policy of bringing a guest. Usually a noted Celebrity. Course the Bigger the Star, the more noticed that Media table is recongnized.

    The journalists, correspandants and Media people have daily contact with politicans and the White House Adminstration. They also can have access to any in Hollywood or any other Fields. Does the White House and politicans of both sides need to party together? Because after the dinner the real Party begins and the cameras, mics, doors and windows close. The left and liberals talk about Corporations. Well.....Here are some of the Biggest Players of them all. Televison Media. As well as some being International Corporations. Thoughts on this?

    I thought Bull$#@!.com was a CNN spin off.

    It's the King and Queen's Ball now and has been for a while. I'm not too worried about this in the long run but I guess it can symbolize the fattening of the Office of the President. Everyone else are just peons to dance in his court!

    Hey hey hey.....look who gets an invite to Meet the Prez. None other than Miss Piece of $#@! Herself.

    CL....you should be worrried as to who shows up to these events. As they tend to get to talk while around those in the Media and Politics. Like Putz azz George Clooney who will be seated at the Time Magazine Table. He wasnt to make sure he gets that note in on Darfur.

    Now as to if they are really Elites. I think with the likes of Lindsey Lohan and Georgie Boy......just with their Appearance alone. One Can see how this White House Administration Gets dumbed down. All with that Spotlight highlighting the so called Stars.

    I read somewhere that Kimmel called out Obama for declaring war on medical marijuana - I'm glad someone there is calling him out even if it's just a comedian.

    LMAO>. He's a nothing, won't go left enough for the progressives, anathama to the cons, unconstitional to us Federalists ( the mandate thru the Commerce CLause), and down right despised by the anti-war crowd, even IF he got the Nobel Peace Prize.

    I am SO uninterested in who wins in 2012 - Romney is more of the same, in his own ways.

    Oh you mean The President. Well truthfully I was talkin about Kimmel. But what you are saying does sing to ring true. What do you think annata. Is this waste by Government just to appease the Media and Hollywood?

    Ari Emanuel and Charlize Theron will be among the Hollywood A-listers joining Barack Obama and the political elite at this year’s White House Correspondent’s dinner Saturday night. Politico announced today that the WME CEO and Oscar-winning actress are coming to the WHCA as their guests. Also invited are Desperate Housewives’ Eva Longoria, a longtime Obama supporter; Hollywood stylist and Bravo star Rachel Zoe; Apprentice judge Ivanka Trump; and MPAA chairman Chris Dodd. Former Michigan governor and Current TV host Jennifer Granholm and FCC chairman Julius Genachowski also are invited. Of course, they all might be overshadowed by Lindsay Lohan, who is expected to be a guest of Fox News’ Greta Van Susteran.

    Other Politico guests announced today include Google executive chairman Eric Schmidt, UAE Ambassador Yousef Al Otaiba, and Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal. Ronald S. Lauder and his daughter Aerin Lauder also will attend along with the DNCC’s Theo LeCompte, Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell, Obama campaign manager Jim Messina, journalist Perri Peltz, RNC chairman Reince Priebus, Virginia Sen. Mark Warner and Green Bay Packers star Charles Woodson.....snip~

    This was who some of Politico Invited. Mr google Exec himself. Shall we look for Cameron's Corporation out of Hollywood? Amazing that Foz News Greta Van Sustern would use lindsey lohan to get notoriety.
