On Friday night, Washington's VIP set headed to the National Press Club to honor CNN's Christiane Amanpour (called at the event "the most famous foreign correspondent in the world"), who received the Press Club's Fourth Estate Award.

Party details and photos after the jump...

Wolf Blitzer, Madeleine Albright and Richard Cohen took turns roasting Amanpour, as is the tradition with this event.

Some quotes:

Albright: "If she paid attention to a part of the world, we all did."

Blitzer: "The most terrifying words a CNN producer could possibly hear is "Christiane Amanpour is on the phone and her script is too long."

WB: "She does some of the most important reporting of our lifetime."
