So how long did you think ...

 

... it would take for the tale of the White House Correspondents' Association dinner to become an Obama story? If your answer was "oh, about as long as it took for the 'somberly contemplative and unusually conciliatory'* attitude to fall away," take a bow.

Fox, unsurprisingly, is long past being interested in providing news on the attack; its job now is to help make the case for the ballroom. No wonder that a 5:15 p.m. tweet from the former president is at the top of the page, even if Fox's own story (posted at 9:35 p.m.) points out that "law enforcement officials have not formally confirmed a definitive motive as the investigation remains ongoing."

Do stay tuned.
