Washington’s Annual Alfalfa Dinner
[Guest post by DRJ]
The Alfalfa Club was started in 1913 by four Southerners as a Washington, D.C., night out. It continued as an annual all-male organization until 1994, when women were allowed to join. This year’s event included several humorous moments, including this one read by Tim Geithner who was standing in for President Obama:
“Dear Friends,
I regret that I’m unable to attend this year’s Alfalfa dinner, but as part of the health care compromise, I’m busy tonight babysitting Ben Nelson’s grandkids.”
There’s more at the link, including a good one from Joe Lieberman on the 2000 election.
