Desperate Propagandists

A couple of quick hits coming up, and this is one…

This takes you to information on the White House Correspondents’ Dinner coming up on April 21st, and the reason I’m pointing that out is because two stars of the show “Desperate Housewives” have apparently been invited to this mess in an effort to distract from the fact that host Rich Little hasn’t been in the public eye since the Reagan Administration, no doubt slaying the audience with “You dirty rat!” impressions of James Cagney the last time he appeared.

(Actually, the show’s ratings were desperate last week apparently, possibly losing out because of “The Sopranos.”)

Take a look at the people on this list and remember their names the next time you wonder about supporting them in any way, whether or not it means watching their movies or T.V. shows, buying a book, or whatever (I have to admit, though, that I honestly hoped Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. would know better).

Update 4/30/07: Kudos to Frank Rich of the New York Times for putting this farce in the proper perspective.
