Joel McHale’s top 10 White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner lines Joel McHale got laughs — and some groans — during his White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner speech, in which he took shots at President Barack Obama, potential 2016 presidential candidates and the political media. The comedian, who appears on the NBC series “Community” and hosts “The Soup” on E! Network, joked with the crowd at the Washington Hilton on Saturday night after the president’s own speech. Here are ten of McHale’s best lines: 1. “Mr. President — or, as Paul Ryan would call you, another inner city minority taking advantage of the federal government to feed and house your family.” 2. “It’s a thrill to be in Washington D.C., the city that started the whole crack-smoking mayor craze.” 3. “It’s crazy to think that Joe Biden is only one heartbeat away from no one taking him seriously as president.” 4. “I promise tonight will be amusing and over quickly, just like Chris Christie’s presidential bid.” 5. “Hillary Clinton has a lot going for her as a candidate … as our female president, we could pay her 30 percent less.” 6. “It’s good to see that White House press secretary and boy detective Jay Carney is here.” 7. On Obama’s humor: “My favorite bit of yours was when you said you would close the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay – that was hilarious.” 8. “Just because Morgan Freeman has played the president a few times, it doesn’t mean you have to look like him.” 9. “Bill O’Reilly, Megan Kelly and Sean Hannity are the Mount Rushmore of keeping old people angry.” 10. “Have you watched the news? Not CNN, I mean the real news.”
