Tom Brokaw: Lindsay Lohan Ruined Last Year's White House Correspondents' Dinner, He will Not Attend Again

Veteran NBC News Corespondant Tom Brokaw is refusing to attend this years White House Correspondents' Dinner because of the laughable attendees that showed up last year; citing Lindsey Lohan as his main annoyance.

The annual star-studded event is set to take place this weekend in Washington, D.C.

Lohan attended last year's dinner as a guest of Fox News's Greta Van Susteren and made major headlines in DC, instead of the people that actually make a political difference or the honorees, making Brokaw a decling RSVP at this years event.

"The breaking point for me was Lindsay Lohan," Brokaw told POLITICO during a recent interview in his office in the NBC News Rockefeller Plaza headquarters in New York. "She became a big star at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. Give me a break."

"There was more dignity at my daughter's junior prom than there is [at] what I'm seeing on C-SPAN there," he said.

"I think any organization ... has to have a kind of self-policing instinct and what we're doing with that dinner, as it has been constituted for the past several years, is saying, 'We're Versailles. The rest of you eat cake,'" he explained to Politico.

"This is not a crusade on my part," he continued. "It's really up to the organizations and this generation of correspondents in Washington to make the determination for themselves. ... Why do we think to have a successful evening, you have to have Donald Trump as your guest of honor, for example, or Lindsay Lohan?"

He first unveiled his grievances after the 2012 bash on "Meet the Press "urging planners to rethink" it, explaining that it "separates the press from the people that they're supposed to serve, symbolically."

You really can't blame Brokaw for his harsh words.  Lindsey has a terrible reputation which does't quite fit in at the gala making a mockery of the prestigious annual affair.

Watch Brokaw slam Lindsey's attendance and why he refuses to be apart of the 2013 festivities.
