WHCA Dinner: Stop Hurting America
Last week, CNN honcho Jon Klein dared Washington journalists to "cancel" the White House Correspondents dinner and "instead spend that time and energy creating standards--and enforcing them--for those who would call themselves White House correspondents." Great idea, Flanders. But you know, four hours on a Saturday night? We could still drink, right? And is that really enough time -- or energy -- to create standards For Those Who Would Call Themselves White House Correspondents? We have a more modest suggestion: Rather than one night dedicated to such a nobel cause, how about thirty minutes every week day? You could devote a whole show on CNN to it! Surely, there's room in the schedule since you cancelled "Crossfire" in January.
Wait. You didcancel "Crossfire," didn't you? Because it's still on .
