In the hallowed annual brown-nose tradition that is the Gridiron Club's dinner, the Kool Kids of Beltway High (aka, the Washington media "elite") get to nestle their proboscises into the nether regions of the politicians they're supposed to be covering. Ah, yes, the free press! The wonderful Fourth Estate, unfettered by incestuous relationships that would distort their objectivity! What harm in a night of frivolity with the jackass who just vetoed the anti-torture bill? Who cares how many trillions of dollars and thousands of American lives are lost in Dumbya's Iraq misadventure? Have fun! Drink up! Maybe you can get a pithy "inside" scoop tonight, and your conscience will allow you to sleep a little less fitfully.
BTW, DC Mayor Adrian Fenty was Timmeh "Pumpkin Head" Russert's "date" for the evening?! Heh heh. We hadn't heard you two were "out." (What would "Big Russ" say about that, Timmeh?!)

BONUS: Guess who far right winger Robert "Prince of Darkness" Novak escorted to the event? (M)Ann Coulter! Ah, the smell of sulphur and the infernal heat!
