DAILY TORO


The White House became “The Laugh House” over the weekend, thanks to the annual White House Correspondent's Association Dinner.
Jimmy Kimmel – looking like a younger, more tired, less snippy, less supportive of Hugo Chavez Alec Baldwin – was the official comedian of the show, leaning on targets like Mitt Romney and ginger-haired attendee Lindsay Lohan. I really wish Kimmel had just told Rick Santorum jokes, but I guess the other meaning of Santorum was a little gross for the cummerbund-and-bowtie vibe of the evening.
I think Jimmy Kimmel was definitely a good choice, but if I had booked this, Andrew Dice Clay or respected 'fartist' Mr. Methane would have been onstage roasting Obama simultaneously. This would prompt my deportation. President Obama's set was the focus of the night. It's at times of levity that the public is reminded of how smooth and gol-durn FUN he is. There were jabs at Donald Trump and Romney, there was a little self-deprecation, but the main thing was his the weird face he made when shouting out Young Jeezy. It was actually pretty creepy.
