Jimmy Kimmel’s the headliner but President Obama is the star today at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. Not that there won’t be plenty of sub-Presidential star power among the 2,700 guests at the Washington Hilton Hotel. George Clooney, Ari Emanuel, Steven Spielberg and a coterie of Hollywood heavyhitters will be mixing it up with D.C.’s political, military and media elite. Of course, there are always a few shock value guests, like Lindsay Lohan whom Greta Van Susteren invited. The fun, or fun facsimile depending on your perspective on the jokes and the politics behind them in this campaign year, begins at 3:30 PM PST/6:30 PM EST. Deadline will be live-blogging throughout … let the barbs begin!

Barry will bury Mitt & the Neocons
No doubt… Barry’s already buried the rest of the country.
Obama and Lindsey Lohan!? Sounds like a God damned freak show! I’m sure whatever Kimmel sez will make news Monday Morning, but I’m sure that’s what the press what’s to happen. There’ll be no winners in this car wreck about to happen.
After Colbert, what’s the point? I’m predicting Kimmel will be almost as daring as Rich Little.
Disgusting event, news media should be ashamed. How about inviting soldier of the year, girl / boy scout of the year, teacher, PD officer/FD/ EMT of the year, volunteer people etc., instead of inviting trashy D-list celebs??? If I were president I’d avoid this event like the plague and instead volunteer the night at a homeless shelter or food bank or visit injured veteran.
Family values network Fox News has invited Kim Kardashian. Teehee.
Neo-Con is a hate term. Not surprised you are using it.
Obama has no shot at winning. No one, except the deranged, are buying his act anymore.
Jon, this Prez will NEVER avoid the limelight. it’s all he has.
Mark ha ha what are you smoking tonight? jealousy is green, hmmm.
I thought envy was green.
No matter; green is the new black, so I’m good.
