McDonnell will spend St. Patrick's Day in the nation's capital

Gov. Bob McDonnell (R) will spend part of St. Paddy's Day in Washington -- first at the White House and then with a bunch of reporters at one of the season's big journalism dinners.

McDonnell will attend the St. Patrick's Day reception at the White House at 6 p.m. No word yet on who else is on the guest list -- for example, are other governors are invited or is it just the ones of Irish descent?

McDonnell will then head over to Washington Convention Center at 7:30 p.m. for the annual Radio and TV Correspondents Dinner, where he will be a guest of NBC 4.

Vice President Joe Biden will also attend dinner and up and coming comedian Joe Wong will entertain the crowd.
