OMG you guys, who's gonna be HuffPo's next most favoritist White House correspondent?

June 15, 2009 4:29 pm ET by Karl Frisch

Yes, as Politico's Michael Calderone points out, Huffington Post is asking readers to vote for their favorite White House correspondent:

Current nominees: Chuck Todd, Savannah Guthrie, John Yang, Suzanne Malveaux, Ed Henry, Bill Plante, Jake Tapper, Major Garrett and Wendell Goler.

Henry would like your vote. But some think there are some notable exemptions: Former White House press office staffer Pete Seat wants Chip Reid and Washington Times White House correspondent Christina Bellantoni thinks Mark Knoller was robbed.

Personally, I can't wait for class favorites like "Most likely to ask questions devoid of substance." I'm looking at you Ed Henry.

Not my cup of tea, but if you like this sort of thing, go vote.

      If i had to choose, I would go with Malveaux. I could care less what any of them say but I like to watch Suzanne talk.

      Since the media is swirling in the toilet anyway, I demand the same sort of squishy empty BS with Obama that they gave Bush.

      If Obama says something, write it down. It's what "journalists" do. It's why we need you so much.

      Ed Henry.

      If nothing more than for the fact that he got pwnz0r3d by BHO during that one press conference.

      Is none of the above an option?
      They're all corporate hacks.

      1st prize: Key to the Village

      2nd prize: Round trip vacation to the actual Versailles. Where it all began!

      3rd prize: Will be cast in the Dennis Hopper role of the obsequious photojournalist in my upcoming remake of the Coppola classic. Tentatively titled Alackofpulse Now!, I'm splicing together old footage of Tim Russert for the Marlon Brando/Col. Kurtz part. David Gregory plays the Martin Sheen role (yes, it'll be a Stretch) as he pursues Russert from Buffalo to 3 Rockafeller Center, including a harrowing scene with Russert walking backward in a snowstorm! Watch as Russert agrees to go off the record before he even answers the phone, then rubs his giant head as he repeats, "The anonymity, the anonymity." Due to premiere at the Kabuki.

      4th prize: Brian Williams' instructional video package, "Mastering the Hangdog Countenance: Why Looking Forlorn is Better than Being Deep."

        So, I guess it's OK that ABC is putting up shop in the WHite House.
