Yawn...

Attaturk was working late last night and when he got home switched on the idiot box and stopped by C-SPAN (you never know when they will be giving a Holocaust deniar carte blanche so I feel a duty to play Simon Wiesenthal).

But there was no David Irving apologist...unless you count Cheney (hmmmmm)...on the channel. Not it was the "White House Correspondence Dinner". Or as it is known to JimmyJeff Gannon..."PAYDAY!!!"

What an awful event. I love Lewis Black, but never has there been a worse accoustic broadcast. C-Span had two audio feeds. Whatever came from the dais, and the audio picked up from their camera in the audience. The dais audio made it appear that Black was bombing more than a Bush Social Security Proposal; the audience camera made it sound like a busload full of evangelical's cheering for more scourging during a screening of "The Passion of the 'Key-Rist'".

Again, I love Black, but his act was so constrained by this event, and his desire to continue to have a career. How much did he get paid for a 20 Minute set without swearing or his act?

I tell you what White House Correspondents, for half the cost I would have done a set. For 20 minutes I'd just look at Cheney to my right and I'd say...

"FUCK YOU DICK, seriously, FUCK YOU! And before I am hauled away, FUCK YOU LYNN, in fact FUCK EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU!...Where's my 5 grand?"

Granted not funny, but still...
