Elite National Media Dinner Set to Host Comic Who Smeared Palin in Vile Sexual Terms Monday, March 5, 2012 \| Kristinn The elite national media that is trying to destroy Rush Limbaugh over his calling liberal activist Sandra Fluke a 'slut' and 'prostitute' is set to host a comic who attacked Sarah Palin (and her son Trig) in vile terms. The Radio and Television Correspondents Association (RTCA)announced in December that its 68th Annual Radio & TV Congressional Correspondents' Dinner to be held June 8, 2012, at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C. will be headlined by comic Louis C.K. As reported by Brent Bozell, Louis C.K. repeatedly attacked former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin with crude language about her femininity. (Profanity edited): A couple of years ago, “comedian” Louis CK “joked” on the Opie and Anthony radio show about Palin coming to the Republican convention “holding a baby that just came out of her **ing, disgusting , her ing retard-making . I hate her more than anybody,” he said. On Twitter, this “comedian” attacked Palin in 2011 as a “**ing off -face jazzy wondergirl” who “has a family of Chinese poor people living in her .” Guess which event this same fellow is headlining in June? -- The Radio and Television Correspondents Dinner. “We’re very excited about having Louis C.K. at the dinner,” said Jay McMichael of CNN, who chairs the Radio and Television Correspondents Associations’s executive committee. “This is an evening you’ll want to experience. We’re shaking things up, showcasing the unexpected, and delivering lots of laughs.” Louis C.K. reportedly apologized, but apparently half-heartedly according to an account in Mediaite about a July 2011 GQ interview. (Profanity edited): "We sat there suspended for a moment in earnestness, looking at each other over the table like, Life, huh? It’s just a bunch of relentless punches to the junk. And then he added: ‘All that other **, though, saying Palin had a Chinese family in her and whatever, I don’t regret that. It’s comedy. I have said many indefensible things onstage. It’s ing comedy. Plus, I do believe if she got elected, she’d really Hitler up the place.’” By tradition, the President or Vice President of the United States attends the dinner, though not always. Barack Obama spoke at the 2009 Radio & TV Congressional Correspondents' Dinner.** Vice President Joe Biden spoke at the 2010 dinner. There is no indication yet whether either will attend this year's dinner. The RTCA is promoting the dinner on Facebook. RTCA is also promoting the dinner on Twitter at @RTCAdinner twitter.com
