By sheer dumb luck (and knowing the right people) I’ve scored invitations to several activities around the White House Correspondents’ Dinner<\/a> in Washington the weekend of April 27. I’m not invited to the dinner itself (I’m not\u00a0that<\/em> well connected!), but I will be at the pre- and post-parties, as well as at the Sunday brunch.<\/p>\n

Thomson Reuters, which is my host, is offering to try to set up interviews with its other guests, who are listed here. I’ll have my video camera ready. Question for you<\/strong>: Who should I ask to meet? Give me some suggestions in the comments area below, and if you’d care to suggest questions, that would be even better.<\/p>\n
