I’m not watching the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, but I hear tell Gretta V showed up with Todd Palin. Weird!
If that’s not enough to seed an open thread, here’s a song I just heard on the radio that I always liked:

All I have to contribute is: STAR TREK WAS AWESOME.
Which is coming from someone who never watched a single episode of any of the shows and never saw any of the movies.
John Cole
Tunch if freshly furminated and catnipped and leaving me alone, and I am watching the Pens v. the Caps.
asiangrrlMN
Thanks, DougJ, for the shiny new thread. I wonder if I can watch the correspondence dinner online. Who’s televising it this year?
P.S. I’m watching Cleveland/Atlanta. Go, Hawks!
Incertus
I’ve gotten a little burned out on blogging abut politics lately, so I’m letting the Nerd flag fly for now.
And Ash, I’m with you on Star Trek, and I’ve seen a lot of Star Trek over the years.
JL
@John Cole: I’m not watching Cleveland beat Atlanta again. I’m watching the red carpet treatment that Jomikchuckgreg think they deserve.
JL
@asiangrrlMN: CSpan
asiangrrlMN
@JL: Crap. They aren’t streaming it, I don’t think. I wanted to see Wanda in real time. Thanks, anyway.
Ooooh, they might be streaming. Is it C-Span, the original?
jnfr
@asiangrrlMN: C-SPAN’s web page says they are streaming it, but it crashed my browser. So I’m watching on TV, which so far has been deadly dull. And yet, I can’t leave it!
Edit to add: Michelle Obama makes Helen Thomas look like a munchkin.
And again to say: Oh good, they finally have someone talking!
JL
Obama and Michelle just gave Helen Thomas a kiss. Helen looks like she’s two feet tall. She’s carrying on quite a conversation with Michelle.
asiangrrlMN
@jnfr: Yeah, I can’t get it to stream, either, damn it. Grr.
Thanks, jnfr, but I can’t get it to work in IE or Chrome. I might try again, or I might just wait.
jnfr
I saw in the twitter stream #nerdprom that Firefox has trouble with the stream, but it works in IE. You might try that if you haven’t yet.
Rob
Watching CSPAN everyone is eating dinner now. MSNBC starts coverage @ 8pm ct. Missed Todd Palin with Greta -also.. How pathetic is my life that I’m getting such enjoyment from watching the media elite and our Prez eat dinner.
JL
@asiangrrlMN: It will stream during the speaking portion which will be another hour or so. Unless you like journalists being pretentious you haven’t missed anything.
dmsilev
CSPAN has it now, though it’s talking heads at the moment (actual speeches start in roughly 40 minutes, I think), and I think MSNBC will start a feed at 9 Eastern.
-dms
Mike in NC
What’s wierd about that? Gretta and her hubby are major stakeholders in the putrid Palin clan and their political aspirations.
I was fascinated to read where Jonah Goldberg (Mr. Pantload) was today opining that his GOP dream team for 2008 was — get ready for it — Cheney/Gramm! He actually claimed they’d “crush our enemies and liberate our economy”, where most sentient beings figured it was completely the other way around. Wow.
DougJ
You’re right, given the past. But their whole partnership is weird, no?
Wile E. Quixote
So what’s the deal with that ad at the top of the page advertising that you can go off the grid and generate your own electricity? Is this some deal where Brick Oven Bill comes over to your house and builds a brick oven in your back yard that cooks pizza and generates electricity by burning oil shale? Also does anyone else get really hungry for meat after looking at that “Meet Your Meat” ad.
Ash
Everything about Greta’s massive crush on the Palin’s is weird as fuck. The way she basically openly drools over Todd…….WTF. It’s just not normal. Which, ok, I guess makes that normal for Greta….
asiangrrlMN
Thank you, Rob and JL. I don’t give a shit about the journalists, and I really hate the live-twittering. I would much prefer to watch on MSNBC if they stream it, anyway. If not, I’ll watch C-Span.
P.S. I only really want to see Obama and Wanda Sykes, anyway.
Mike in NC, it’s weird because Greta has been stalking the Palins since the election ended. She is BFF with Sarah. It’s a bit too chummy for taste.
Just Some Fuckhead
It does seem to lack the je na sais quoi of the Obama-Ayers relationship.
asiangrrlMN
@Just Some Fuckhead: Oh, very nice riposte, JSF.
Someone tell me about a minute ahead of time when Obama or Obama (Michelle) or Wanda speak. ;)
Hey, it’s a one-point Cleveland lead!
By the way, the ticking down of the editing function is unnerving.
JSF, yes, please. Thank you kind sir.
Just Some Fuckhead
@asiangrrlMN: Thank you, doll. Wanna let me know when Obama starts speaking?
Edit: Uh, never mind.
MattF
Call me uncool, but I like the old Lucinda better. Here’s a song about dirt from Gillian Welsh.
Rosali
She doesn’t care about them. She’s just trying to hitch onto their wagon to try to make a name for herself.
JenJen
Continuing with the Justice Timberlake SNL Hosting Appreciation Moment in the other thread, this was pretty damned impressively funny.
Ash
@Rosali: I don’t know, whenever I stumble upon Greta doing anything involving the Palin’s, it definitely seems more along the lines of idolatry and weird obsession.
Wile E. Quixote
@Ash
I thought that the drooling was caused by nerve damage from her face lift.
Rob
Yeah- Greta is a suckass. I’m sure the Palins really hate her. btw- I bet Sarah is kicking herself that she can’t be there tonite.
asiangrrlMN
@JenJen: You know, I never liked him until I saw him on SNL. He was so game in spoofing himself, I loved it. Wow, that was really funny. I’ll have to tap tonight’s episode. Of course, there’s this classic:
Warning: Not safe if you’re easily offended.
Rob, no doubt. However, with all the trouble she’s been having in AK, she HAD to be there.
Read this site for more dirt on Palin:

Rob
@asiangrrl
keep watching the game, msnbc’s coverage sucks. CSPAN has not gone back to the dinner yet.
Comrade Mary, Would-Be Minion Of Bad Horse
Ha! And didn’t he do that dance with Beyoncé later on the same episode?
I’m a MUCH happier Canadian ever since I got Hotspot Shield. It’s a free VPN that lets me see Hulu and Comedy Central and all kinds of geographically locked-up stuff.
JL
@asiangrrlMN: That was my favorite. When Greta was on CNN and reported on court cases, she came across confident and knowledgeable.
Now not so much now. Either I was being naive or once you cross the Murdoch threshold you become an asshole.
asiangrrlMN
@Rob: Fucking stupid dinner. I’m watching C-Span, and this self-conscious nerds are prattling. Where is Wanda????? 10:25????? That must be Eastern time. Fuck ’em!
Ash
There’s quite a few of those Digital Short classics, all featuring Andy Samberg of course. Jizz In My Pants (with a Timberlake cameo) and I’m on a Boat being my favorites.
JenJen
For the love of all that is holy, please, no Dijon mustard or (horrors!!) Hummus on the WH Correspondents’ Dinner Menu tonight!
I’m frightened. “Morning Joe” should be ripe with “Momma-Mika is still hung over!” jokes. Gosh, I just can’t wait, can you?
I also imagine I’m not the first person to think this, but WTF with this Dinner Coverage? I’ve never seen anything like this before. These asshats are not freaking celebrities and they shouldn’t be covered as such. I feel like I’m watching a Sorority Dance from my cozy Dorm confines, feeling happily but weirdly detached.
@Comrade Mary, Would-Be Minion Of Bad Horse: Single Ladies! That was the same episode, you’re right. “We’re the dancers!!”
asiangrrlMN
@Ash: The Boat one is hysterical! Did he just say Kevin Garnett?????? Waaaaaaaah!
We cannot forget Lazy Sunday.
JenJen, no shit. WTF? I’m hoping for braised artichokes.
Rosali
Greta’s husband, John Coale, gets the political consulting contract and Greta promotes them on Fox. The Palins get positive press and the Gretas/Coales get money and exclusive interviews that run on Fox. It’s all about pimping each other in a mutually beneficial financial and political circle jerk.
AhabTRuler
@JL: I think it just demonstrates the degree to which these tools are under the control of their producers. They just feed the “talent” whatever the day’s agit-prop is, and they spew it.
JenJen
@Ash: Oh gawd, “Jizz In My Pants” killed me!! But, this is still my favorite SNL Digital Short, right here.
@asiangrrlMN: Nice! “Lazy Sunday!” I think the Digital Shorts have been my favorite addition to SNL since “MaGruber!!” (sp?)
Ash
@asiangrrlMN: Ahh yes, Lazy Sunday, the one that started it all. But we can’t forget Natalie Portman’s Rap either.
When I was in Harvard
I smoked weed every day

Comrade Mary, Would-Be Minion Of Bad Horse
Not a short — this will take about 40 minutes — but here’s all of Dr. Horrible on Hulu. Sheer brilliance. Bookmark it if you haven’t seen it yet.
asiangrrlMN
@Ash: @JenJen:
I never thought she had it in her.
P.S. Game tied right before the half.
DonnaInMichigan
Wow…Greta finally gets Todd Palin to herself, for an evening….
OR:
Is her scientolospouse, John (I have a hard-on for Sarah Palin) Coale, tailing behind??
AhabTRuler
@Ash: I don’t know, I can’t really buy Natalie P. as a G. OTOH, nothing will ever make me laugh as hard as:
“Oh shit, it’s Wayne Brady!“

MSNBC says we’re just minutes away from Wanda and Barack, for those who wanted a heads up. And MSNBC wouldn’t lie to us, would they?

@AhabTRuler: Oh my god that is fucking hysterical! More!!!!!
Ooooh, is Obama on yet?
jnfr, thanks!
Why the fuck are John McCain and Bush smirking at me from my intertubes??????
Rob
Watching some of the “red carpet” from this dinner. Michael Steele is there, wonder why you never see his wife? I have to admit the first dude is pretty hot, but he probably can’t put two words together. Okay the camera is back on our President. woohoo!!
JenJen
Oh, my. C-SPAN is back, showing the WH Correspondents’ Video about Election 2008. It’s raising my blood pressure all over again.
FLOTUS about to speak. Interesting how she and POTUS are probably the most casually-dressed people there. I for one appreciate the setting of tone.
@asiangrrlMN: I know, right?! That was just straight-up bizarre.
asiangrrlMN
@JenJen: That’s what I’m seeing? WTF?????
AhabTRuler
@asiangrrlMN: You should check out the next thread, if you haven’t already.
YellowJournalism
I have no words. From IMDB:
asiangrrlMN
@AhabTRuler: Next in which direction? The mash-ups? Yeah, they’re funny. Aaaaargh! My stream is not streaming.
YellowJournalism, yeah, I read that. Whatever. As long as I can watch it online, I’m good.

Lucinda Williams has never topped Hot Blood. It got my blood…well, you can guess.

asiangrrlMN
WTF with the awards?????? Give me Obama and Sykes. Sheesh.
AhabTRuler, I’m going to regret asking, but what is that from?
AhabTRuler
Remember…
JenJen
POTUS is speaking. Bwaaaaa-ha, makes fun of Teleprompter. Watch for him to talk about Condiments!
To the press corps: “Most of you covered me. All of you voted for me. Apologies to the Fox Table. I didn’t really want to attend tonight, just another problem I inherited from George W. Bush.” He’s good at this stuff. Also blames Air Force One Manhattan fly-over on Sasha and Malia taking the aircraft out for a joyride.
OH SHIT just smacked down Michael Steele! “He’s in the house tonight. Or as he would say, ‘In The Heezie.’ Whassup?” Also, “And Cheney just wrote a new memoir, ‘How To Lose Friends and Interrogate People.'”
dmsilev
Obama’s on now. He starts out by smacking the ‘Can’t make a speech without a teleprompter’ crowd.
-dms
asiangrrlMN
Thank you, HuffPo! Much better stream. Ooh, risque joke. I like it (gay marriage). Burn Michael! Love me some Rahm.
“Rush Limbaugh does not count as a troubled asset.”
“How to Shoot Friends and Interrogate People”. Memoir of Dick Cheney. Damn.
dmsilev
“Michael Steele is in the house.
Wazzup?”
Pwned.

The Other Steve
Star Trek was really awesome. Pieces a bit cheesy, but overall I must say the kid they got to play Kirk was really good at it. I loved the story… very clever way to continue the series.
asiangrrlMN
My god, he’s zinging them. I love this man.
I want to have his baby. Oops. Did I say that out loud?
Ok, who was the picture of? John Boehner?
Zing! John Boehner a person of color…although not a color that appears in the natural world.
Atlanta up by one, four minutes to the end of the third.
AhabTRuler
Which what? Who? Huh? Where am I? My god what is that awful smell?
Rob
Wazzzzup! priceless!
JenJen
ROFL photo of Obama talking with Captain Hook in the Oval Office! “It’s not like I’m going to read ‘Peter Pan’ just because he gave it to me.”
“In the next several days, I will strongly consider losing my cool.”
Deep Thought: This is funnier than joking about not being able to find WMD.
dmsilev
John Boehner is “a person of color, though not a color that appears in the natural world”.
Ouch.
asiangrrlMN
@JenJen: Thank you. It would be nice if the stream actually showed the picture.
On the seventy-third day, I will rest (after doing his next hundred days in seventy-two).
Comrade Mary, Would-Be Minion Of Bad Horse
Talking about the press: “Not all endings will be happy ones.”
Right. He just called them lazy wankers.
asiangrrlMN
@Comrade Mary, Would-Be Minion Of Bad Horse: Now he’s praising them. More jokes, please!
AhabTRuler
George Bush, like many Republicans, does not understand humor; the little dick (i.e. the smaller of Cheney’s two tools) only understands cruelty.
Comrade Mary, Would-Be Minion Of Bad Horse
Hey, did he actually say this?
“This is hard day for Rahm. He is not used to saying day after the word mother.”
asiangrrlMN
Wanda! Wanda!
Who’s the woman with really bad hair?
JenJen
Wanda is up! What was with that bizarro grumbling “boo” response from the Press Corps? Is it Colbert payback or something?
@asiangrrlMN: Not sure which hair you’re talking about, but if it’s up in some kind of futuristic beehive and she’s sitting to POTUS’ left, that would be Jennifer Loven, chairperson for the event. She, and specifically, her hair, freaked me out on the red carpet, in that “OMG WTF” kind of way.
Comrade Mary, Would-Be Minion Of Bad Horse
Wanda is the quadruple threat: black, gay, female and funny.
asiangrrlMN
@Comrade Mary, Would-Be Minion Of Bad Horse: Yup, he did. Heh. I like Rahm. Yum. Until he talks.
I hear Gibbs cackling.
Dang, girl! She said torture TWICE!
Wanda Sykes and Margaret Cho….
….
…..
……
Sigh.
JenJen, yeah her.
Comrade Mary, true that.
dmsilev
@Comrade Mary, Would-Be Minion Of Bad Horse:
Yep. I LOL’d.

IndieTarheel
Wanda’s warming up – this is gonna be good!
asiangrrlMN
Palin/abstinence slam! Hollah!
Tax Ball! Oh, yeah.
JenJen
Oooooh, Wanda is into the Dubya jokes. “He didn’t leave you with the White House, he left you with a fixer-upper. Who leaves a house with you owing money? You need to get Oprah into this. ‘OK Governors, look under your seats!'”
Ruh-roh, Sensitive Bottle-Sucking Press Corps Made Uncomfortable By Palin Jokes. Tomorrow’s Headlines Today!
Ruh-roh, even worse, McCain Joke! “Maybe if you ask nice enough, your wife will buy you a new helicopter, too!” God Help Us All, she just said Rush Limbaugh was strung out on Oxy. Tomorrow’s Other Headline Today!
Umm, doesn’t Michelle look gorgeous? Stunning? Smoldering? Love her love her.
Comrade Mary, Would-Be Minion Of Bad Horse
Shit — what did she just say that shocked people? “You’ll be saying that tomorrow!”
OK, Palin, abstinence — what?
Wow. Fucking wow. She is RIPPING Rush.
“Too much?”
asiangrrlMN
@Comrade Mary, Would-Be Minion Of Bad Horse: “Governor Palin pulled out at the last minute. Someone needs to tell her that’s now how abstinence works.”
Oh my god. Wanda just compared Rush Limbaugh to Osama bin Laden. Said he was the twentieth hijacker, but was strung out on Oxycontin and missed his plane.
Dang. Wanda is dissing Sean Hannity now. “I can break Sean Hannity by giving him a seat in coach. Let Keith Olbermann waterboard him.”
I can’t believe Wanda is actually bringing up the torture issue. You go, girl. I hope she slips in a gay joke.
Damn no gay joke.
Rush is going to get into it with Wanda, I bet.
dmsilev
@Comrade Mary, Would-Be Minion Of Bad Horse:
Paraphrasing, “Governor Palin pulled out at the last minute. She should know that that’s not how abstinence works”.
-dms
Krista
That skit was beyond classic.
Bwah-ha-ha! He’s awesome at making fun of Rahm. I loved the bit at Rahm’s roast when he talked about how Rahm lost part of his middle finger in a meat-cutting accident, “rendering him practically mute.”
Funny, charming, smart, and cute — I’m sure this guy will make mistakes too, but damn, you folks seem to have done a lot better this round.
Ash
@Comrade Mary, Would-Be Minion Of Bad Horse:
“Governor Palin pulled out, she should know that’s not the right way to practice abstinence.”
Something along those lines.
Comrade Mary, Would-Be Minion Of Bad Horse
Heh. Now I’m flashing back to “Nixon, pull out like your father should have.”
JenJen
Joke of the night: “Let Keith Olbermann waterboard Sean Hannity!! Waterboardin’ Sean Hannity. Please. I could break Sean Hannity just by giving him a middle seat in coach.”
Second best joke of the night: “Rush says he wants the President to fail. Well, I want Rush’s kidneys to fail, how about that?”
Nice, Wanda. Sorry about the forthcoming backlash from Michelle Malkin, et al.
asiangrrlMN
@JenJen: Yeah, no doubt. I have a hunch Wanda can take it.
I liked the joke about the rescue dog, too. “The man has to rescue a country that was abused by its former owner. Let him enjoy a fresh new dog.”
OriGuy
“I told my kids, if two cars pull up, and one has a stranger in it, and the other has Dick Cheney, get in the car with the stranger.”
Krista
I somehow can visualize Wanda getting the better of Malkin. She’s a lot smarter, a lot funnier, and she doesn’t strike me as being one to take any shit from anybody.
JenJen
Deep Thought: ZOMG I’ll bet people are Tweeting from this thing.
This has to be The Worst/Most Banal Cocktail Party Ever.
jnfr
Massive media/right wing freakout ahead over Wanda’s set. Count on it.
gbear
Wow. Is anyone in the audience laughing or are they all sitting there like the audience hearing ‘Springtime For Hitler’ in The Producers ?
asiangrrlMN
@JenJen: IM @ WHPCD. O no she didn’t! Wanda, torture!
Wanda dissed Cheney!
gbear, Gibbs was laughing–I could hear him. That was about it, though.
Wanda dissed Rush!
Wanda dissed Hannity!
Wanda dissed Palin!!!!
jnfr
Well, hell, she dissed both Obamas and really let loose on Biden too.
Rob
as well as youtube campaign ads from the wingnuts.
LD50
What a low-rent way to try to make a name for oneself.
Comrade Mary, Would-Be Minion Of Bad Horse
Concerned David Corn is concerned.
Is this really a big deal? I don’t usually pay attention to Pres speeches at these dinners.
JenJen
@Krista: Oh, same here. In fact Wanda was probably the perfect person for tonight’s quasi-celebrity naval-gazing event. She gives as good as she gets. Better, even. One up, even.
It’s to the point that it’s boring that the moves are so memorized, everyone here can already predict the usual suspects rushing for the fainting couches in response to her humor. Zzzzzz. :-)
@Comrade Mary, Would-Be Minion Of Bad Horse: David Corn. Really? Is this irony or is he going for The Halperin?
ETA: Ahh, I see Ana Marie is going for The Halperin, rather. Bleaaargh.

Pre-dinner ?: w/ 2 wars, 1 recession, will O yuk it up or go serious 2nite? – Shut up.
whatever tone O strikes @ dinner, there’s one essential: thank/praise the troops. W forgot to once – Shut UP.
Obama kills with his edgy jokes. But is he too jokey? – SHUT THE FUCK UP.
JenJen
T MINUS 30 MINUTES to Timberlake hosting SNL. Not a fan. Swear. Just sayin’. I’m probably not going to watch or anything, myself. Don’t you never no mind about what time it is. It’s just that other people might want to know, is all.
Martin
DKos TV will almost certainly have it tomorrow. Probably YouTube as well, but maybe not full length.
Martin
Timberlake is really very good on SNL, so it’s understandable. Never much liked Alec Baldwin until he hosted the show either.
garyb50
Look how they all intermingle, so lovey dovey kissy facey. Except for the Fox bunch bunched up together with the Newt.

And lo! he doth provide for the righteous.
wasabi gasp
On Wanda’s mention of Olbermann, his head popped out the screen and ate the cheese off my cracker.
asiangrrlMN
Damn. The streaming video I watched only showed the speaker–no reaction.
OMG! He didn’t mention the troops!
Not to be rude–ok, to be rude–it’s like saying, OMG! He didn’t pray in public!
I mean, really, every time? Then it’s pretty meaningless, isn’t it?
Sigh. I lurv Wanda.
HuffPo will probably have it, too.
If Keith Olbermann gets to waterboard Hannity, I think that would make a lot of money for the troops’ families.

Deprogramming was very big in the 80’s. Do people still do that? Because Greta needs to be deprogrammed.
asiangrrlMN
@Craig: Yes. Except, the right calls it ‘conversion therapy’.
Anne Laurie
I believe that Scientology is also involved. Coale’s a high-level thetan-buster; van Sustern converted when her TV ratings started dropping. Sarah “Bible Spice” Palin would be the biggest celebrity “Get” for the Denouncers of Xenon since Tom Cruise (and let’s face it, Mr. Couch-Bouncer just ain’t the golden godlet he used to be to people who take Q-factors seriously). On the other hand, if Teh Heartland(tm) isn’t ready to let a Mormon candidate into their
pantshearts… if we hear about Governor Mean Girl switching from the “Talking in Tongues” to the “Eliminating Suppressive Persons” tables, it will be pretty clear that she’s given up any hope of higher political office in return for the lesser but surer bennies of fronting for America’s Shiniest Cult Network.The Other Steve
Watch Alpha Dog and you’ll appreciate Timberlake. The kid’s got talent.
Paula
” … though not a color found in the natural world … waasuup, John?!”
“Or as he would say: in the Heezy! WAASSSUUUUP?! … Rush Limbaugh does not count as a troubled asset, I’m sorry …”
Jeez-us. 2 “waaasuuups” in one speech. So 80s hip hop.
“Let’s go to Iowa and make it official.”
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
That Larry Summers joke is some cold shit. Summers prolly deserves it, though. Hehe.
asiangrrlMN
@Paula: Yeah. Summers fell asleep in an economic summit meeting, and all the news outlets reported on it. This was Obama’s gentle way of saying, “Not acceptable, Larry.”
Plus, the bit about putting Larry on something concerning women and girls was funny.
JenJen
“Mother Lover” or whatever they’re calling the SNL Digital Short had me snorting like a hyena. Same for the Barry Gibb Talk Show. And Governor Paterson has been the funniest thing going. Best show of the season and next week’s the finale. I’ll bet it’s a lot easier to write when there’s an election on.
tripletee (formerly tBone)
@Ash:
Almost as funny as the original. They should make Timberlake a regular – he’s funnier than 3/4 of the current cast. For an ex-boy band member, the kid has some serious skills.
harlana pepper
There will never be another WH Correspondents Dinner for me, not since the 2006 Colbert roast. (sigh)

For everyone on here talking about how great Justin T is, I have never been able to get past his little curlie-q hairdo and baby-man facial hair. I totally don’t get the sex appeal and, no, watching him dance is not going to change my opinion.
Bob In Pacifica
Missed the show. Were there any jokes about killing civilians in Afghanistan or not pulling out fast enough in Iraq?
bago
@Bob In Pacifica: There weren’t any jokes about WMD in Iraq. That joke that almost got my family killed in the deserts of Mesopotamia? Yeah. That joke killed.
asiangrrlMN
@harlana pepper: I don’t find him sexy, but he’s really funny on SNL.
I would like to repeat, ASH, you forgot to mention that Patricia Clarkson is the other mom. Double yum!!!!!!!
