Saturday was the annual White House Correspondents Dinner in Washington. Roy Wood, Jr. (The Daily Show) served as MC, but not before President Biden was a quality opening act.
Taking aim at not only certain Republicans, but also at Fox News, Tucker Carlson, Don Lemon, and questions about his own capability at his age, Biden demonstrated a razor sharp wit, and a toothy smile reminiscent of Jimmy Carter.
Everyone has their favorites. I wonder, though, if the writers for certain late night hosts were loaned out to the President for the night, or if Wood helped Biden. This we do know. Come tomorrow, Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers, and whomever is hosting Daily Show this week will evaluate Biden's stand-up routine.
Donald Trump refused to attend the dinners in 2017-9, largely because of his own thin skin, but probably he couldn't hire writers that could make him look good. Or he heard rumors Rosie O'Donnell would host. I wish I could find video of someone like Ronald Reagan at one of these dinners.......
