From the teleprompter story to Rush Limbaugh's ill-wishes, the new administration has been confronted by many silly Fox-fabricated issues. President Obama and host Wanda Sykes take advantage of the laid back atmosphere of the annual White House Correspondents' Association Dinner to respond to these non-issues with the sarcasm they deserve. Vote in the "Nation Poll" for your favorite joke.
