Please Little, Don't Hurt 'Em
Congratulations, White House Correspondents Association, you have officially lost any claim to having a spine:
Little said organizers of the event made it clear they don't want a repeat of last year's controversial appearance by Stephen Colbert, whose searing satire of President Bush and the White House press corps fell flat and apparently touched too many nerves.
"They got a lot of letters," Little said Tuesday. "I won't even mention the word 'Iraq.'"
Little, who hasn't been to the White House since he was a favorite of the Reagan administration, said he'll stick with his usual schtick -- the impersonations of the past six presidents.
"They don't want anyone knocking the president. He's really over the coals right now, and he's worried about his legacy," added Little, a longtime Las Vegas resident. (emphasis mine)
Aww, poor little prezzie! He's only shat all over civil liberties, imprisoned people for years on no charges at all, led us into a slaughterhouse of a war, has been unable to catch the man who actually managed to attack America five years after the fact, and has validated torture. We should just let him be, so that he can try and devise some way his name isn't put up there with Nero in the Hall of Tyrants.
Your defenders of liberty, people.
