laughed. across the board, i don t get good or funny. the interesting thing about this, if you want to go the president went to the gridiron dinner and it was one of the first that he s attended. he brought the house down. he was very funny. his speech was great. nancy pelosi was one of the speakers. i think that night, and then tom cotton. usually if you have an elected leader who has it s not easy to give a speech like that. they have to practice. it costs a lot because i usually farm it out to some a great speechwriter. i don t pick washington, d.c., needs to bring in anyone from the outside to do this types of things. the gridiron dinner has never done it. it s always fantastic. the line they have, the gridiron singes but it never burns. i hope that s the last of the sound bites i have to hear. her voice is really, it really gets to me. craig ferguson was one of the only comedians there that i thought was so gentle. he basically made fun of himself the entire time, anticomplement
love the gridiron dinner. it s the best one. one of the reasons it s the best is because it s not on camera. it s not televised. it s been going on for 160 years or something. it s a long-held club, one of the best nights in d.c. i love the satire of it and i think we all benefit from a night where the press and the president can hobnob behind the scenes, say whatever they want. their motto is the gridiron singes but it never burns. i am a big fan of that night. i don t care if he goes to the correspondence center. kimberly: i like it. shows the president is in good humor. nice just to position to the press out there juxtapositio juxtaposition. to see him in humor, making inroads with the media, that was good. shows the flexibility. he s very good at these events.
