‘A woman can tell a dirty joke,’ the Democratic Senator said as she and others poked fun at the Washington elite at the annual charity event.
The U.S. senator from Minnesota and famously snow-swept presidential candidate was the Democratic speaker for the 134th annual Gridiron Club and Foundation dinner. The event calls for good-natured roasting through songs, skits and speeches as a break from the daily battles between journalists and government officials.
On the Republican side, Sen. John Kennedy of Louisiana made fun of his drawl, saying that when he appeared on cable TV, “they call me folksy. I think that means they’re surprised I have a college degree.” His advice for life? “Always be yourself,” he said, “unless you suck.” Not that Kennedy enjoyed the low-scoring Super Bowl between the Patriots and the Los Angeles Rams. “If I had wanted to watch guys failing to score for four hours,” he would have taken fellow senators Ted Cruz and Bernie Sanders to a singles bar.
“This isn’t a joke,” she said. In offering her father’s regrets for not attending, she said, “The opportunity to poke fun at the media is not something he passes up lightly.” For her dad, she said, “every day is a gridiron dinner.
