Sure, the White House Correspondents Dinner is “the single most revolting annual gathering of pseudojournalistic cocksuckery in the land,” but it’s also an opportunity for some fun slams on the news media, which could use the criticism, really.

Have you heard the latest absolutely scandalous DC media gossip? It seems that some less than upstanding publicity hounds attempted to sully the august White House Correspondents Dinner event with corporate whoredom. Can you imagine?

Look, this whole "nerdprom" problem is very simple: All you self-loathing/self-obsessed D.C. media people who go to and/or talk about the White House Correspondents Dinner are not, technically speaking, "nerds." You are "tools."

Tomorrow evening, the cream of our nation’s mainstream media celebrities, political celebrities, and celebrity celebrities will put on tuxedos and evening gowns and gather in a ballroom in Washington, DC to mutually give one another handjobs, in a mostly metaphorical sense. This is because the most powerful elements of our nation’s DC press corps are all “on the same team” as the people they cover (politicians) and the people they idolize (celebrities). This is called the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner, and it is the single most revolting annual gathering of pseudojournalistic cocksuckery in all the land.

The White House Correspondents' Association dinner is tonight, and it's the perfect mix of self-congratulation, celebrity-worship and Justin Bieber. Everyone's already there, here are some things from their twitter accounts. (You can watch live coverage here.)

It is an annual tradition dating back to a couple years ago: go to the White House Correspondents Dinner and then shit all over it the following Monday. But this year, everyone had fun!

The glad-handing, back-slapping yukfest of reporters getting cozy with politicians and the occasional celebrity that is the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner just ended. And Obama's roast absolutely killed it.
