Watch the White House Correspondents’ Dinner live HERE. As usual, the President (in this case Barack Obama) will do a monologue poking fun at him and his political foes. And the host will take potshots at the President and others. This year’s host: Jimmy Kimmel.
Also: watch it and place bets now on which comments by Obama and Kimmel will be turned into chest-beating lines of supposed outrage since this is election year (duh).
