Will the organizers of Saturday night’s White House Correspondents Dinner — also known as #nerdprom — tone things down after last year’s glitzy red carpet affair? Of course not. Journalists are busy getting ready for the big night, when reporters sit with celebrities to be roasted by the president.

Ouch. #Nerdprom too embarrassing to attend: "They act like a bunch of kids at the Kids' Choice Awards."

The Hill has the rundown on who’s taking whom. For example, Patrick Duffy of “Dallas” fame will attend as a guest of Fortune magazine.

I hate the US media every day but never more than this day. If they had any self awareness, they'd be embarrassed, but no. #NerdProm
