Making Headlines - The media is abuzz about this weekend's White House Correspondents' dinner. Center of discussion: Comedian Wanda Sykes' controversial routine. She ribbed on everybody from Michelle Obama to the President, but her comments about Rush Limbaugh are drawing the most criticism. Sykes joked that she wished Limbaugh's kidneys would fail since he's said he wished the same for Obama's policies.

President's Remarks - President Barack Obama was also on a roll. He cracked on a number of attendees including himself and the GOP Leader. "Michael Steele is in the house," Obama noted. "Or as he would say 'heezy'." He joked that the Republicans shouldn't expect a bailout because Rush Limbaugh doesn't qualify as a troubled asset.

The White House Correspondents' Association was born on Feb. 25, 1914, after the White House let it be known that President Woodrow Wilson was interested in having an unprecedented series of regularly scheduled press conferences but was unsure of how to pick the reporters to invite to these sessions.
