Kim Kardashian & Lindsay Lohan will be guests of Fox News at the White House Correspondents' Dinner.

They attack President Obama for having friends in Hollywood and pack their table with virtual, if not actual (Kardashian), hookers.

I think it diminishes Fox, and the event in general. Watching politicians schmooze with the fourth estate, is unsettling.

simply because it wouldn't be newsworthy otherwise...

But on the bright side, this also means that it's the anniversary of the

BEST. WHITE HOUSE. CORRESPONDENTS' DINNER. EVER!!!

Is Susan Sarnadon the same as Lindsay Lohan?

Oh, wait, she has a TV show. Yeah, that's it.

Talent, you ask. Oh, never mind.

Honestly, I despise that show because it glorifies stupidity, selfishness, and rudeness.

I thought she was a full-time self-promoting celebrity with no other talents whatsoever, kinda like Palin (the Klondike Kardashian).

15. You Realize That They're Highbrow For Faux Noise

You realize that as far as they're concerned, both la Lohan and Kim Kardashian are considered to be high-brow by Faux Noise propaganda's "thoughtful," "cerebral" "journalists."

Since Faux Noise couldn't get either Joan Didion or Joyce Carol Oates, it looks like they're trying to make dowith what they have on the political right.

She could at least have picked her boogers, like she did on MTV. After all, she was a Playboy Playmate. Doesn't everybody swoon? Of course, I am speaking about the booger picking, not that Playboy thing.

Don't get me started about her vaccination lunacy, or about her galactically idiotic husband, Jim Carrey.

Maybe the Republicans should get them both at this shindig.
