"Brokaw said it was “time to rethink” the occasion since it, in his words, “separates the press from the people that they’re supposed to serve, symbolically. Why do we think to have a successful evening, you have to have Donald Trump as your guest of honor, for example, or Lindsay Lohan?” he asked.

The veteran newsman continued. “This is one of the issues that we have to address. What kind of image do we present to the rest of the country? Are we doing their business, or are we just a group of narcissists who are mostly interested in elevating our own profiles?’ And what comes through the screen on C-SPAN that night is the latter, and not the former.” . . . But I think any organization,” he said, “… has to have a kind of self-policing instinct and what we’re doing with that dinner, as it has been constituted for the past several years, is saying, ‘We’re Versailles. The rest of you eat cake.’”

I know. He points to the problem with the very concept of the dinner.

Palin actually was invited to attend but when the valet company found out she could only drive in reverse, they went with an other applicant instead.

Palin isn't really funny anymore, but he at least gets out of the house now and then:

I don't care which party holds the office of POTUS, this event is a conflict of interest in my opinion. Journalists shouldn't be socializing with the politicians.

Who is Sarah Palin? Was she a loser on one of those stupid reality shows or something?

Why would anybody care what a nobody says about anything?

Precisely my question. I recall Michael Palin, the old Pythonian. I don't remember anyone called Sarah P.
