The Radio and Television Correspondents Association is an American journalism group best known for holding an annual dinner in Washington, D.C. every year beginning in 1945. The RTCA dinners are usually in March.

In 1996, speaker Don Imus made coarse jokes about President Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton, which White House Press Secretary Mike McCurry termed "tasteless". [1]

The 2004 dinner was notable for President George W. Bush mocking himself in a slide show including images of him searching under furniture in the Oval Office for Iraqi weapons of mass destruction, which liberal commentator David Corn termed a "callous and arrogant display". [2]
