There was a lot of unintentionally funny stuff happening at the annual White House Correspondents Dinner on Saturday night—New York Governor Eliot Spitzer pushing his way through a crowd to get the autograph of Sanjaya Malakar, the lemur-eyed, Bobby Sherman-coiffed warbler recently bounced from American Idol, for example, or Sheryl Crow and Laurie David, wife of misanthropic comedian Larry David, literally putting the arm on, and offending, Karl Rove.

Entitled Hollywoodans versus the evil genius behind the most disastrous administration in our history? Why limit this conflict to a dinner? Call it the Arrogance Bowl, and hold it in the Superdome.

Alas, these events were funnier than the planned entertainment, a bland routine from aging impersonator Rich Little. A far cry from last year’s brilliant, edgy, nasty performance by Stephen Colbert. Here it is, for any who missed it.
