The annual White House Correspondents' Dinner,
scheduled for April 29 in Washington, D.C., on April 29 will face
a “counter-event” in the nation's capital hosted by Samantha Bee,
the foul-mouthed host of the Full Frontal weekly program on TBS.
Entitled “Not the White House Correspondents' Dinner,”
the “alternative gala” was announced on Monday by Bee, who was
a correspondent on Jon Stewart's The Daily Show before getting
her own program in February. In a Turner press release, Bee took
a shot at NewsBusters:

Bee presented a woman who was vilified for being simultaneously
a woman and not woman enough.
