at the annual radio-tv correspondents dinner wednesday, two comedians performed a skit where machiavellian karl rove pretended to be a rap star. it is hiliarious to see - seriously, search for a clip on youtube or something, you will die laughing - he tries to dance, tries to hip... and then hop, even throws a little "walk like an egyptian" in... so great! but, what is funnier to me is nbc's david gregory in the background laughing it up and trying to join in. and of course, the only person who has any real dance moves is the unidentified black man on stage. truly, i couldn't stop laughing.
but, to try to be serious about the issue - you have to wonder what sort of credibility these journalists have when the next day, they're supposed to be holding these politicians accountable for their transgressions. i mean, yukking it up with rove is fun, i'm sure, but the man is a political manipulator, who has undoubtedly crossed the line multiple times. the washington press corps is halfway in bed with people in power, which, in my opinion, means they aren't able to ask the questions they should ask, until it is way too late.
