Quote of the week

President Obama/White House Correspondents’ Dinner/May 3 2014: “Michelle and I watched the Olympics. We cannot believe what these folks do, death-defying feats. Haven’t seen somebody pull a 180 that fast since Rand Paul disinvited that Nevada rancher from this dinner [laughter]. As a general rule, things don’t, like, end well if the sentence starts, ‘Let me tell you something I know about the negro’ [laughter]. You don’t really need to hear the rest of it [laughter and applause]. Just a tip for you.”
