The annual White House Correspondents' Dinner trades laughs for journalistic integrity, leaving a certain perverted neighbor feeling a tad disappointed. No Trump, no jokes, just the First Amendment...and I'm pretty sure that's not a euphemism.

No President No Punchlines No Problem...Right?

Well alright! So the White House Correspondents' Dinner huh? Usually it's a party where the elites gather swap stories and maybe just maybe some other stuff happens after. But this year? Zoinks! It was like Lois said when I tried to spice up Thanksgiving with a few exotic dancers: "Glen this is inappropriate!" No Trump no comedian just a bunch of journalists patting themselves on the back for upholding the First Amendment. Giggity I guess they were really focusing on journalistic excellence this year. But what about me?

Trump's Tantrum: From Roast to Rally

Remember when Obama roasted Trump at the 2011 dinner? Oh that was GOLD baby! Like when I tried to convince Peter that wearing a speedo to the supermarket was high fashion. Some people just can't take a joke! Now Trump skips it just like when I tried to skip out on a dinner bill after a particularly 'vigorous' date. And because of that the whole thing got stripped down. It reminds me of the time I accidentally walked into a nudist colony thinking it was a buffet. Talk about a letdown!

Comedian Cancelled: Too Hot for the Hot Seat?

And can you believe they canceled the comedian Amber Ruffin because she called the administration a 'bunch of murderers'? Come on! It's like when Quagmire Jr. suggested the idea of changing my name to Quagmire Sr. I've heard worse! It sounds like something I would say but in a fun way... sheesh! I guess Washington can't handle the heat even though it is in the kitchen.

A Sober Affair: Honouring Journalism or Just a Buzzkill?

According to Association President Eugene Daniels this year was all about "honoring journalistic excellence." Sounds about as exciting as a Sunday night watching CSPAN. Look I appreciate a good hard hitting news story as much as the next guy (especially if it involves revealing photos of celebrities) but where's the fun? The sizzle? The giggity giggity goo?

Press vs. Prez: The Neverending Battle

Now this is where it gets interesting. Trump's been battling the press like I battle my impulse control at a lingerie store. FCC investigations attempts to shut down outlets...it's a real dogfight! Even the AP is suing him! It is so controversial. Talk about keeping things interesting! But hey at least it gives me something to talk about at The Drunken Clam. I'll tell ya what with the current presidential race heating up I would vote for anyone at this point even Cleveland. Not really but you catch my drift.

The Truth Hurts: Media Admits Its Oopsies

Even Axios' Alex Thompson admitted the press missed some big stories and lost the public's trust. Well DUH! It's like when I thought that wig I bought at the flea market would actually fool people into thinking I had a full head of hair. You can't hide the truth forever my friends. The media has to do better or else they'll end up as irrelevant as my dating advice is to women. Giggity!
