" am not a member of the White House Correspondents' Association, and I have not attended its dinner in years (I watched this year's on C-SPAN). The gala is an essentially harmless event that requires the presence of one man, the president. If presidents started not to show up, the organization would have to transform itself into a burial association. But presidents come and suffer through a ritual that most of them find mildly painful, not to mention boring. Whatever the case, they are guests. They don't have to be there --"


The WHITE HOUSE DID NOT INVITE COLBERT.

Which has nothing to do with the premise of this thread- That the LIBERALS are more intent on destropying each other in the name of orthodoxy than in winning the election.

The title of this thread refers to the Liberal HATE for each other, NOT their hate for the conservatives- THAT I can understand ( from their point of view).
