'Festival of self-absorbtion': Glitz and glamour of #WHCD is too much for some

No, you’re not the only one. Maybe they’re just bitter because they weren’t invited to #NerdProm, but the glitz at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner isn’t sitting well with everyone.

of course not RT @corybe Am I the only one who gets uncomfortable watching all the glitz and glamour at the #whcd? #nerdprom

Dear Media: Those of you who slobber over the WH Correspondents' Dinner are truly pathetic. Grow up and do your job. #WHCD

Ridiculous. RTs of celebrity pics from #WHCD are overwhelming my Twitter feed. Festival of self-absorption is underway.#wasteoftime.

The correspondents dinner gives journalists the opportunity to bask in Obama's presence. Just like in his press conferences. #nerdprom

any #WHCD tweet that begins "With…" will alert you to a hack posing with another hack.

The #WHCD – where the press corps stops pretending they're not in bed with the government they're supposed to be holding to account. #CNN
