 So I spend the next few weeks trying to figure out whether angering a nation of 44 million people is a fireable offense. It turns out the answer is not exactly. I don't get fired, but I stop getting assigned any big speeches. And then finally, at the end of April, there's a big speech they have to assign me. It's the White House Correspondents Dinner. That's the big night of presidential joke telling each year. And at that time in my White House career, I'm like our token funny person.
