The White House Used to be Correspondents Dinner
/
Back in the day (you know you're old when you say that) The White House Correspondents Dinner used to be for.... you know.....Corespondents.
Then it took a turn for the worse, when media organizations kicked their correspondents out the door and brought in celebrities.
