After reading the book, “This Town” by Mark Liebovitch, I was not as excited about watching the White House Correspondents’ Dinner as I was in past years since Stephen Colbert gave George Bush the what for. The book lays out the incestuous relationships between the press and the pols in the District of Columbia. Campaign aides move into government and then into think tanks and lobbying firms and then run for office with a plumped up cadre of money men. Now I looked at it with jaded eyes and everything fell flat including the jokes.
