Anyone watching the Correspondent's Dinner pre-show? Its like the Oscars, but so wildly inappropriate.

Such silliness its jaw dropping....glad there is nothing serious going on in the world now with our "hot" planet, Ukraine, Gaza, etc. . What would Edward R. Murrow say?

John Fetterman is there in a sweatshirt decorated like a tux. His partner is mortified and they’re all loving it.
