C-Span’s Steve Scully didn’t want to cause any offense with his choice of entertainment for the White House CorrespondentsÂ’ Association dinner so, according to the New York Times, he plucked impersonator Rich Little from Vegas obscurity after catching him on the David Letterman show.
Little’s appearance on “Letterman” came at the start of the show’s “Impressionist Week”, which was preceded by a popular “Ventriloquist Week”. Perhaps next year the dinner planners can have Dick Cheney and George Bush perform in that style and save themselves the cost of a flying in outside talent.
