poor guy

GWB wasn't feeling funny at the recent Correspondents' dinner. Appropriate, since he was introducing Rich Little.

In addition to his reason given, I wonder if he was still feeling a bit gun-shy from last year's dinner. I would've loved to hear that sputtered directive last year: 'Didn't he know he's supposed to be funny?! I know funny! Next year get Henny Youngman! He's dead? Sonofa... Well then, get Rich Little!'
