Lawmakers take the stand-up mic at the Washington Press Club Foundation's annual dinner.
By Emily Heil Emily Heil Co-author of the Reliable Source Email Bio Follow March 14 at 7:00 AM This might be as funny as Official Washington gets this year — and that’s, well ... a little sad. With the upcoming White House correspondents’ dinner going comic-free, the annual Washington Press Club Foundation on Wednesday was the biggest chance for nerdy Beltway humor to have its moment.
The evening took on even more significance than usual — it marked the 100th anniversary of the original Women’s National Press Club, founded when the National Press Club was men-only, and its 75th annual dinner. The answer, alas, appeared to be no. Crenshaw got some laughs, though, , with a few zingers and dry comedic timing. He opened with a riff about how he prepared for the performance, wondering whether he should make Democrats or the press the target of his punchlines: “Eh, it’s kind of the same thing."
