In today’s good martini, it sure sounds like North Korea is eager for a deal, but can this regime be trusted? Jim Geraghty of National Review is joined by CNN Political Commentator Ben Ferguson who is filling in for Greg Corombos of Radio America. Joy Reid makes an appearance in the bad martini. Can she be believed? Jim and Ben share their personal experiences with the MSNBC host. And what has become of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner? In the final segment Jim and Ben reflect on how this event has changed for the worse in recent years.

    I haven’t heard any discussion about the “Uncle Tom” line used at the WHCD. I think that was worse than any of the other Sarah Sanders jokes.

    “It sure sounds like North Korea is eager for a deal, but can this regime be trusted?”   This is a joke, right? 

     I think the North Korean dictator is counting on America’s long record of betraying and abandoning its allies in that part of the world:  Nationalist China, our ally against Japan (while the Chinese communists hid in their caves); Vietnam and Cambodia, of course; Taiwan, when we blocked it from getting nukes to balance Red China’s, and then let the UN give its seat to Red China (which has been a thorn in our side ever since). 

     Expect some kind of face-saving deal proposed in which we exit the peninsula and leave the North to dominate it, extracting tribute from the South.

    The guy with the piano? I think you meant Mark Russell. Or did you mean Victor Borge?

    Yes, she was crude, but the leader of my tribe is also crude.  I wish it were not the way it is, but we live in a political time where both sides are crude.  Bill Cosby used to be known as a “clean” comedian, but he’s no longer available.
