When Lisa Lampinelli said on the Pamela Anderson Roast, "Pamela is starring in a new show on VH1 called, 'I Fucked the Eighties,'" THAT's a roast. When Helen Thomas put out a question like, "Thousands have died and tens of thousands have been maimed, and all the reasons given for our war in Iraq have proven to be false. Why ARE we in Iraq?" and Colbert, allegedly auditioning for Press Secretary, has to run away in terror to avoid answering this question -- that's no roast. That's a barbed political attack on both the president and the pussy-whipped press corps.<BR/><BR/>Please show me another example of such caustic irony in any previous White House Correspondents' Dinner.PeaceLovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05571571887644175214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12658605.post-1146581510632112082006-05-02T07:51:00.000-07:002006-05-02T07:51:00.000-07:00I hate to break it to you guys, but this is fairly...I hate to break it to you guys, but this is fairly standard White House correspondent's dinner stuff.
