Credit where due

I don't hate much, but I do hate hate hate the White House Correspondent's Dinner, the annual masturbatory event in which our grandees show how cool they are by celebrating their contempt for everything that's not, well, them.

But I do have to give credit to Larry Wilmore, who I'm told is a comedian on Comedy Central*, for this line from his appearance:
But I have to say, it’s great, it looks like you’re really enjoying your last year of the presidency. Saw you hanging out with NBA players like Steph Curry, Golden State Warriors. That was cool. That was cool, yeah. You know it kinda makes sense, too, because both of you like raining down bombs on people from long distances, right? What? Am I wrong?
You can read the rest at the link. Not sure that you'd really want to, but this is a free country, at least for the moment. Meanwhile, here's our President's inspiration.

*Not so much as you could tell from the transcript, but anyway....

If Donald Trump indicated that one of his agenda items is to end the WHCD, I would vote for him.

That would be a positive development for sure.

I have actually enjoyed the comedians the last few years starting when Trump was destroyed about the birther nonsense and did not crack a smile. But now he says he loved it. Sure he did, like preparing for colonoscopy. Colbert's was a highlight when W was in office and I would say Obama's comedic timing is pretty good. The one last year w/ the Luther the Anger Translator was extremely funny.
