"The most self-absorbed night in Washington"...

...says Michelle Malkin, of the White House Correspondents Dinner.

And a good thing, too. With the kind of bladder-emptying excitement that typically takes hold of Obama's media groupies when gathered en masse, self-absorbency is key.

So they start out full of it and then just suck it back in?

I think it has something to do with volume discounts on Depends.

Telling Obama jokes, so people who are supposed to do it for a living won't have to.

I must note that absorbtion is also applied to spills of hazardous chemicals.

JeffS -- Mostly toxic waste.

I'm counting on an eventual influx of Simon Cowell type Brits to burst this cozy media bubble. Snarky Brits just can't resist exposing idiocy and hypocrisy. I hate them for it for it but see exposure to their cutting analysis as good medicine.

You see it on Idol - the local judges fall into feelgood self esteem building pap, then the Brit cuts the BS with an acid tongue. Bring it on.

Anonymous -- I remember the BBC reporteress weeping on camera as the helicopter whisked Arafat's AIDS-ridden ass away from "Palestine".

Don't hold your breath. Those snarky, cynical Brits crumple like kleenex when something or someone gets past their guard.

You may be right Richard."Either the Iranians would try to spy on our position or perhaps even attempt to snatch a British soldier."

"Or nick one of our iPods," one of the cavalrymen joked in reference to one of the 15 kidnapped sailors who cried when his music player was confiscated.
