Not everyone's laughing after the White House Correspondents' dinner

Obama Correspondents' DinnerWASHINGTON -- If the White House Correspondents' Dinner was any indication, all it takes to get a room packed with journalists and celebrities laughing is a series of jokes about eating dogs, the size of Mitt Romney's bank account and Kim Kardashian's attendance.

The dinner, a celebration of Washington journalists, is complete with awards for excellent coverage and scholarships for aspiring reporters, but what ends up taking all of the headlines is the president's humorous address and the subsequent comedic routine by the host.

Saturday's dinner was no different, with President Obama and host Jimmy Kimmel touching upon a number of topics, from canine consumption to congressional inaction.
