Palin Slams the 'DC Assclowns' at the 'Pathetic' White House Correspondents' Dinner

During the annual White House Correspondents’ Dinner, Obama made a number of self-deprecating jokes. He mentioned that he was “not the strapping young Muslim Socialist that [he] used to be,” and suggested that casino magnate Sheldon Adelson could have assured Romney of victory if he had simply offered to buy Obama out of the presidency for “$100 million,” rather than spending money on political ads.

Obama also joked that he was taking his “charm offensive on the road; a Texas barbeque with Ted Cruz, a Kentucky bluegrass concert with Rand Paul, and a book-burning with Michele Bachmann.”

Palin slammed the whole affair, tweeting, “That #WHCD was pathetic. The rest of America is out there working our asses off while these DC assclowns throw themselves a #nerdprom.”

In a Facebook post she said, “Yuk it up media and pols. While America is buried in taxes and a fight for our rights, the permanent political class in DC dresses up and has a prom to make fun of themselves. No need for that, we get the real joke.”

The National Journal’s Ron Fournier observed:

Washington never looks more out of touch than it will this weekend, when movie stars, music moguls, media mavens and their advertisers join President Obama at the annual White House Correspondents’ Association dinner.
