Every year since 1920, the White House Correspondents Dinner has been held at the Washington Hilton. This year’s event was held on May 9, 2009 and hosted featured entertainer Wanda Sykes.
The event was heavily attended by a mix of journalists, celebrities and politicians. President’s going back to Calvin Coolidge in 1924 have poked fun and mocked just about everyone in Washington. President Barack Obama got into the spirit of things with digs at Dick Chaney, Rahm Emanuel and Hillary Clinton.
Among the celebrity guests were Ashton Kutcher, Demi Moore, Keisha & Forest Whitaker, Sherri Shepherd, Tyra Banks and Eva Longoria Parker – see photos below.
