Every year the inside the beltway muckety-mucks, and the political correspondents, have a big black tie shmoozefest where they basically spend the night roasting each other.

It will be airing tonight at the dinner, which will be on CSPAN. Their video, “What We Call the News,” will also be on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno tonight…
