Clueless: Kim Kardashian and Elizabeth Warren

[Geee]

American Thinker:

This week the White House Correspondents Association Dinner and the practice of Affirmative Action both took what should be major body blows at the hands of Kim Kardashian (famous for a sex tape and very short marriage) and Elizabeth Warren (an academic now famous for gaming academic affirmative action at Harvard Law School ), who exposed the rot undermining both.

Once upon a time the White House Correspondents Association Dinner was a small time Washington annual affair , begun in 1920,where correspondents who covered the White House brought people they admired -- elected officials and businessmen for the most part -- for a low key dinner with good humored joking between the President and those who covered his doings. Proceeds of the dinner were to honor journalists and provide scholarships.

In 1987 when the late Michael Kelly brought the beautiful Fawn Hall, Oliver North's secretary, to sit with him, the tide changed. After that, media figures vied to see who could attend with the most attention getting guest. Things have gotten so out of hand, perhaps they ought to officially just combine this with the Academy Awards, viewership of which continues to plummet and make the media-Hollywood cohabitation legal.

This year, the man who planned the mission to execute Bin Laden, Vice Admiral William Mc Raven , was invited, but sat virtually ignored as the media mobbed the really important guests, Kim Kardashian, Lindsay Lohan and George Clooney

Kim Kardashian, for example entered like Cleopatra entering Rome, lacking only the elephants and fan waving attendants. Seated next to Roger Ailes, she was overheard by Brian Stetler asking, "What exactly do you do at FOX?"
