Obama/McHale Perform at the White House Correspondents Dinner
at
Tonight at the annual White House Correspondent’s dinner Obama got his chance to take some shots at the press in return for all the hits he has taken this year. Both Obama and Mchale took shots at Clive Bundy, CNN and Governor Christie, and both had a few self deprecating lines. And both got plenty of laughs and groans. Some of the press had differing opinions on who killed, and who bombed but you don’t need us to judge for you, watch for yourself. Who had the better set? Obama or McHale?
If you don’t have 20 minutes to spare, here are some quick highlights from Obama’s twenty:
- “I am happy to be here, even though I am a little jet lagged from my trip to Malaysia. The lengths we have to go to, to get CNN coverage these days.” Which he tagged with, “I think they’re still looking for their table.”
- MSNBC is here, they’re a little overwhelmed. They’ve never seen an audience this big before.
- An American won the Boston Marathon for the first time in 30 years, which is inspiring and only fair because a Kenyan has been the president for the last six.
- Let’s face it Fox you’ll miss me when I’m gone. It will be harder to convince the American people that Hillary was born in Kenya.
- I’m feeling sorry for the Speaker of the House. These days, the House Republicans actually give John Boehner a harder time than they give me, which means orange really is the new black.
- If you want to get paid for not working, you should have to run for congress just like everybody else.
Joel McHale’s did 23. If you don’t want to watch, here are just a few of his lines that you’re missing out on:
- I promise that tonight will be both amusing and over quickly, just like Chris Christie’s presidential bid.
- The Kardashians, believe it or not, are republicans, and I know that because they’re always trying to screw black people.
- Hillary Clinton has a lot going for her as a candidate. She has experience, she’s a natural leader, and as our first female president, we could pay her 30% less. That’s a savings we can use!
- As it stands right now, the republican presidential nominee will either be Jeb Bush, Rand Paul, or a bag of flour with Ronald Reagan’s face drawn on it. Bag of flour!
- Ted Nugent called [Obama] a sub human mongrel. And its comments like that, that really make me question whether we can take the guy who wrote “Wang Dang Sweet Poontang” seriously anymore.
- The cast of VEEP is here. That’s a series about what would happen if a Seinfeld star actually landed on another good show.
- Legendary actor Robert De Niro is here tonight. Now I dont do a De Niro impression but I do an impression of De Niro’s agent. Rrrrring rrring. “He’ll do it!”
- Chin up everyone. This country is still number one in the all important categories of creme filled pastries, face computers and robot trucks, Education, the economy and the environment? Hey we’ll get em next time.
