It’s the Monday after the White House Correspondents’ dinner, meaning Washington is abuzz about something insular and stupid.

Liberals are applauding an utterly lame performance as “brilliant” because it attacked the Trump administration; Republicans are holding a comedian to a higher standard of decency than they hold the president of the United States whose primary campaign was fueled by brazen mockery (often with more comedic effect than anything at this WHCD); and journalists are waxing sanctimonious about a fancy dinner.
