It was quite the star-studded affair in Washington D.C. Saturday evening for the annual White House Correspondents Dinner, perhaps the District’s biggest social night of the year. This is the one where journalists and the politicos they cover congregate in an overt celebration of their inappropriate friendships — you know, the ones that caused the Iraq War. All of America can drink to that! Obviously the public-at-large wouldn’t care about a journalism party — they are not for the soft-at-heart, or people who have lives — if it weren’t for the WHCD’s other strange attraction, the liberal Hollywood Movie Star guests! Your Wonkette’s associate editor and videographer/Polaroidist Liz Glover donned our best church clothes Saturday to witness the proceedings, and all we got were strange memories and a wretched purple umbrella that says “Bloomberg.” The troubling story, below!

Here at Wonkette we devote about 10 percent of our working day to work and 90 percent to following the exploits of ballroom dancing failure and MSNBC hosting failure Tucker Carlson. Given his long and faithfully chronicled love affair with McDonald’s, we can only imagine Tucker’s distress upon hearing the news this week that the inventor of the Egg McMuffin died. Herb Peterson passed away peacefully at home at the age of 89, surrounded by family, friends, and a mountain of perfectly circular fried eggs. [MSNBC]

Hey now wait, Tucker Carlson’s MSNBC show ended some time in the last three weeks, knew that, but did anyone actually *watch* the last episode? Ha ha ha, ha. Well he ended it with some inspired Latino dancing with his gay partner and you can view it above! What is wrong with him? [YouTube]

Hey, remember this video of NBC’s White House correspondent, David Gregory, dancing to Mary J. Blige’s fantastic dance song? Well this same dancer is now replacing fired (HA HA) MSNBC host Tucker Carlson’s 6 - 7 p.m. spot with Race for the White House, which the press release calls “a fast-paced daily look at the latest election news.” And who doesn’t need more of that right now! But does the press release lie? According to the AP, the new program will be called Race for the White. A typo, or a HILLARY PLANT? [AP/Breitbart]

AND NOW HE’S FIRED: David Shuster sort of called Chelsea Clinton a whore, so now he’s “suspended” from, uh, guest hosting Tucker Carlson’s show? [Media Matters]

Yesterday while filling in for c-list teevee host Tucker Carlson on the MSNBC program Tucker, David Shuster asked the following question: “Doesn’t it seem as if Chelsea is sort of being pimped out in some weird sort of way?” He was referencing the way in which Chelsea has been calling various superdelegates asking for their support. As if the circumstances in any way matter, the answer to the question is yes. Or, more emphatically, YES! Lord knows what that Chelsea is offering these superdelegates. Either way, Shuster will apologize tonight after the Clinton people made some kinda fuss. Whores, all of them. [The Trail]

This week, John Paul Stevens, Jeri Thompson, Chris Wallace and Tucker Carlson were all spotted being various degrees of famous at various places by our spies and operatives. Voyeuristic fun, as always, is after the jump. MORE »

Liz Glover has been terrorizing the douchebags in New Hampshire with her pink-and-green Barbie polaroid camera. Why that’s her with famous Respected Intellectual Conservative Bill Kristol! Can you believe he wouldn’t even take a question? [Sigh], there goes another role model. More famous assholes after the jump. MORE »

Who would have guessed that Ron Paul is running the kind of campaign where he would avoid being photographed with a supporter who also happened to be a prostitute. This is what I take away from Tucker Carlson’s surprisingly thoughtful New Republic piece on the Good Doctor. Oh, that and Ron Paul must actually be changing the world because I read something Tucker Carlson wrote and not only did I not want to remove my own eyeballs with something blunt, I almost even enjoyed it.

There have been recent rumors about MSNBC canceling Tucker Carlson’s show. And guess what? Bowtied Republicans are so pissed off that they are organizing a campaign to save the job of their chest-flashing, crazy dancing, totally not gay preppy pundit. The group, Save Tucker, even has a cute little mission statement. MORE »

The lovely, adorable and talented Liz Glover brings us to the red carpet for last night’s Meet The Press 60th Anniversary party, where she asked very important people what they were wearing. Tom Delay plays coy, John Kerry chats about paper trails, Bob Dole works the ladies, Tucker Carlson denies picking up gay men and Tiki Barber talks dog fighting. Oh yes, it’s all very Fellini.

MSNBC has stalled in negotiations to give Rosie O’Donnell a primetime show on their teevees. Says Rosie on her modernist poetry website, “well what can u do/2day there is no deal/poof/my career as a pundit is over/ b4 it began.” good thing 4 amerkan public/ no more of her/ heinous/ self on national television/ networks. [NYT]

The New York Times reported today that MSNBC is in talks to give a primetime show to Rosie O’Donnell, whose previous credits include a 9-month stint on ABC’s The View, where she kept having vagina fits with co-host Elizabeth Hasselbeck, an ardent and enthusiastic warmonger. Also, Tucker Carlson might get dumped for shitty ratings. MORE »
