Sarah Huckabee Sanders will be standing in for President Trump. Speeches are made and jokes are delivered at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, and attendees will often pick on the current president of whichever administration is serving the country at present.

Once prestigious, the now beleaguered annual event is widely viewed as nothing more than a way to serve as an indulgent milestone for members of the prissy press.

The black-tie event allowed members to cozy up to celebrities, politicians, and the über wealthy. Let’s face it, these days, it’s just plain sad.
