Donald Trump Announces Rally On Same Night As White House Correspondents Dinner

Because, of course.

President Donald Trump will hold a rally for supporters in Pennsylvania next Saturday in an apparent attempt to divert attention from the White House Correspondents Association dinner in Washington, D.C. being held the same day, which he has refused to attend.

And I'm sure Ishtar is also playing somewhere. And I think TLC is showing a rerun of Honey Boo Boo Explodes. I'm sure some network is showing a five-hour documentary on the aerodynamics of the basketball.

Any one of which sounds more interesting than watching Rump masturbate in front of a crowd of drooling idiots again.

You're right, though, it'll be the same old crap. His neverending campaign speech. They could put one of those air-powered waving clowns (like you see at car dealerships) up on stage and nobody would be able to tell the difference.

Maybe his meeting with Larry, Moe, and Curly at the WH was to work out the entertainment schedule. Ted, Sarah, and Kid might do "Wang Dang Sweet Poontang" in three-part harmony to open the show.

"You see it's a crazed gyration of the rock generation
It's my motivation to avoid the nauseation, frustration
When I need some lubrication, baby!

Kinda like, goes kinda like this
You take her right ankle out
You take her left ankle out
You get her belly propped down
You get her butt propped up

Yeah lookin' good now baby
I think you're in the right position now baby
Yeah but if you ain't quite ready I'll make sure everything is a little bit nicer 'cause
I'm gonna get a little talcum
I'm gonna borrow it from Malcolm

Yeah you look so good baby I'm starting to drool all over myself
I got the droolin', droolin', get all wet, salivate, salivate
I got sal-a-vee-late, sal-a-vee-late, sal-a-vee-late
Got sal-a-vee,sal-a-vee,sal-a-vee (uhhuhuhuhuh)

Yeah you look so good baby, I like it, I like it, I like it
You know what I been talkin' about honey
It's a nice dance, we gotta a nice dance goin' here

Now what you gotta do, I'll tell you what you gotta do
You got to pretend your face is a Maserati
It's a Maserati
It's a Maserati
It's a gettin' hotty
It's a Maserati, Maserati, Maserati

It's a fast one too man, baby damn thing's turbocharged
You feel like gettin' a fuel injection honey?

I'll tell ya about it, I'll tell you about it
I'll check out the hood scoop
I gotta get that hood scoop off, shine and shine and buff
I gotta buff it up, buff it up, buff it up, buff it up, buff it up,
Yeah, shiny now baby, heh heh heh

Hey you've been drivin' all night long
It's time to put the old Maserati away
So you look for a garage, you think you see a garage
Wait a minute, Hey!, there's one up ahead
And the damn thing's open
Hello! Get in there!

Is my baby alive? (Is my baby alive?)
Is my baby alive? (Is my baby alive?)
Is my baby alive?
She Wango'd to death!"

Anything the idiot says will be hashed out on MSNBC and I'd rather listen there.

.... they can be quite nagging when they want/need you for their demographics. Accommodating too, when their box kept screwing up my phone (worked nights at the time and their call back time was exactly when me and my girlfriend talked), they got me an extra line so it wouldn't interfere. Also fixed my T.V. for me when it went out. Lol, you can probably thank me for having Friends on at all times of the day and night there for awhile!

so I catch up on the highlights at You Tube, but this year, with the dueling venues, I'll be sure to add to Driect TV's statistics for people watching the dinner. I might have the sound muted, but it will be on.

In any case, it will be interesting to see what they have in Dolt45's chair. Cardboard? One of those naked sculptures? An impersonator? Or just an orange fright wig?

The dinner will be hosted by comedian Hasan Minhaj, who is currently a senior correspondent for The Daily Show. He is also Muslim and the son of Indian immigrants.

Perhaps they will just leave it empty...maybe Clint Eastwood can come in and have a conversation with it~

That would drive him through the roof if every few minutes he gets a tweet from someone about events at the White House Correspondents Association dinner, the jokes, and the fun everyone is having. It would be especially delightful if he exploded at his own rally in outrage over the avalanche of tweets.

If you are a twitter user, TWEET THE HELL OUT OF THE CORRESPONDENTS' DINNER! Make it trend as much as possible. Use hashtags #WHCD and #WhiteHouseCorrespondentsDinner and tweet as much as your fingers will allow. Knock any coverage of the "big rally" right out of twitter.

This is worth joining twitter for. Even if you don't have a single follower, and you never use twitter again, just joining and using those hashtags to tweet will be helpful.

Let's do this!
