That black-tie White House Correspondents Association dinner coming up Saturday night is one of those events where many are thought to be only as good as their guests.

So look who FOX News got:

"Usmagazine.com has exclusively learned that Gossip Girl star Chace Crawford has been invited to be the guest of the Fox News Channel,'' Us reports of the celeb currently filming the drama, Twelve, in New York City.

But look who else FOX got: 2008 vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin and husband Todd, and actor Matthew Modine.

They'll be the guests of the network and its various celebs, including Greta Van Susteren, Bill O'Reilly, Glenn Beck, Bret Baier and Chris Wallace.

Comedienne Wanda Sykes will headline the annual affair, where, as we noted over the weekend, CBS News will play host to Ben Affleck and Colin Powell.

Who are, of course, not Chase Crawford.

1. Somebody should have Levi as their guest

[jefferson_dem]

2. Levi, escorted by Tina Fey.

Now that would be tasty.

[davidpdx]

16. Tina Fey dressed up as Palin

Maybe she could bring a doll and a stroller. Or better yet, just have the doll hanging off her (art imitating life?) Oh, the humanity!

[firedupdem]

3. Rofl! That would be perfect....

I wonder how Wanda feels about Joe's comments? :puke:

[Lasher]

7. Beat me to it!

That would be something to see, you betcha!

[Cha]

9. Yeah, just to ruffle their

lying feathers.

[NRaleighLiberal]

4. You mean.....the person in this lovely piece of art?

[Lasher]

8. That's the one.

[PM Martin]

5. Why is she still getting so much publicity?

[msanthrope]

6. Wanda Sykes?? Oh, that should be good. n/t

[Cha]

10. Really..I can't see Wanda Sykes

taking any shit.

[Number23]

15. I know! I have loved Wanda since her downtrodden Fox tv show

She is smart, funny as hell and does not take any mess. I'd love to see her go after Ms. Sayrah and Tahd...

[Orsino]

17. They're making it easy for her, aren't they? n/t

[ErinBerin84]

11. why would

Sarah Palin jump at the chance to spend the night with a buncha liberal media elites? I thought she was a woman of the people?

[Catshrink]

12. Especially since the media are the ones who caused the McCain/Palin defeat.

:rofl:

[SpartanDem]

13. Not just liberal media elites

WASHINGTON, liberal, media elites they aren't even real Americans. Ya know that doesn't' sound very mavericky to me.

[SamCooke]

14. Can Rahm just take their invitation away? I hate when these idiots are legitimized

[WI_DEM]

18. Damn!? does this mean that Matthew Modine is a repuke?

[rvablue]

19. I disagree with many on this thread. This is FANTASTIC news. This is why:

I can't wait for Saturday night.

What a serendipidous moment!!! While any comedian headlining the dinner would be bound to crack some jokes about SP, I'm so happy that this year it's going to be a BLACK, GAY WOMAN up there.

First, she will be able to go after SP head-on, without looking mysoginistic. And secondly, as a black woman, I'm sure the video of those hate rallies SP hosted, scared the heck out of her as much as they did all of us and she will not be able to resist a little payback. Not to mention that SP also thinks that Wanda Sykes shouldn't have equal rights...

Yes. Wanda Sykes is an acerbic and brilliant wit. And I cannot wait to hear her make jokes about the hateful, stupid and arrogant Guv while the entire press corps and everyone who is anyone in DC laugh their asses off!!!

And CSPAN, please make sure you have a camera trained on the GUV so that we can all enjoy watching Ms. Sykes take the Guv and her inflated ego down a few notches!!!!


((side note: sad to learn that Matthew Modine is a RWer....that's a sad surprise..))
