Describing the WHCA party scene Saturday night

"A celebrity petting zoo."

-- Jonathan Wald, producer of Piers Morgan's CNN talk show, as quoted today by New York Times media columnist David Carr. The White House Correspondents' Association's annual dinner drew luminaries from government, entertainment and technology, Carr said. Even journalists came! USA Today's celebrity guests included Big Bang Theory actor Johnny Galecki. (My Top 10 WHCA list.)

  4. Pull the plug on this next year. What a fucking embarrassment. Both the guests, the Gannettoids attending and the breathless, star suck up coverage of the event by our "reporters."

Please keep your posts focused on Gannett and media-related subjects. Note that I occasionally review comments in advance, to reject inappropriate ones. And I ignore hostile posters, and recommend you do, too."
