Obama's Kitchen Cabinet

God I hate this comedy dinner they do with the President every year - the "nerd prom." The New York Times doesn't bother to show up, and that's probably the right idea.

"The evening's guest list featured (in no particular order): Glenn Close; Robert De Niro; Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck; Natalie Portman; Stevie Wonder; Sting; Taye Diggs; John Cusack; Demi Moore; Alicia Keys; Brad Paisley; Eva Longoria Parker; Forest Whitaker; Jon Hamm; Chris "Ludacris" Bridges; young actors Miranda Cosgrove and Chace Crawford; and, for good measure, directors George Lucas and Steven Spielberg." Oh, and Todd Palin.

In other news, people's lives are being destroyed by the worst economic catastrophe since the Great Depression.

Enjoy the cake.

It really isn't right- although Obama is actually pretty funny. The cozyness between the press and the WH is never good- which, to the point, goes to the brilliance of Colbert's press-whacking performance, which may have been one of the great comedic accomplishments of the century.
