I'm only commenting to say watching 30 seconds of this slob-fest would be a worse punishment to me than waterboarding.  Demi, Ashton, Wanda, Meghan - a room full of pigs and you expect something other than slop.

Wanda was pretty rough on Joe Biden, but it's open season on him for liberals and conservatives alike.

The Bamster's own very short routine was very mediocre, but not as ugly as Sykes. He managed to work in his usual talking points about inheriting problems from President George W. Bush, and throughout threw in talking points of claimed accomplishments. Hardly an hour goes by without the Doofus reminding us that nothing is his fault. He also took the usual shot at Fox News. 

His line about his kids being responsible for the Air Force One joyride was well done. His joke about thanking Larry Summers for showing up well after his bedtime fell flat because so few got the joke.

They should invite me to do a roast...probably would end up having much worse things done than waterboarding after I got done roasting this idiot..hope and change..God, I hope he changes..

Wanda Sykes once did an hilarious comedy routine called "Stick with your lie." At least I thought it was a comedy routine. Turns out she's a Democratic strategist posing as a comedienne.

I also had that feeling of isolation. You take the time to watch, have hope that something redeeming will come of it, that maybe these folks aren't as bad as you thought, but nope, the event turns quickly into a disgusting display of hatred.

And, as usual, the general public will not hear or read the truth as to what happened. The media is already sanitizing the Syke's jokes, scrubbing words, ignoring the more controversial moments. However, some credit goes to NYT for their coverage of Syke's and the audience reaction, although it was expected given their dislike of this particular affair.

Look for C-Span or MSNBC to win an Emmy for their coverage with Sykes taking home some sort of achievement award.

I only saw Obama's recorded appearance.

What I saw on display was the latest example of the ugliness of the left.  Obama continued to single out the right, personified last night as the Fox News table, and praised all other (liberal) media for their existance and preference

It's just the latest example at how giddy the left is to advance their agenda, while continuing to ridicule republicans for being too stupid to be democrats.  It's on the news every day, little abbreviated headlines on CNN about "Is the GOP endangered?" like we're seriously in danger of having only one political party.  A sentiment the left wouldn't have a problem with, but far from in touch with reality.  The left continues to labor under the delusion that the country agrees with their politics, I say the country flatly didn't like McCain and just wanted something different but didn't really care what that difference was.  The "McCain as another Bush term" meme and "hope" and "change" struck cords in the same vein and just turned off to McCain.

There was one comment Obama made, something to the effect that Republicans didn't qualify for a bailout.  I couldn't help but to think, "but big corporations and businesses that have generally failed do?  way to be for the people and against big business, Mr. Democratic President"  What a joke and nobody notices it.

Just the usual venom from the left, lack of thoughtfulness and full of party line garbage.

"Boats are safe in the harbor, but that's not what they're made for." -- Maritime quote

I may be wrong, but as I remember, C-SPAN was the only network that carried this event live. Last nite I saw it on CNN and MSNBC in real time.

What no telepromptor jokes? Opening window jokes? Dijon burgers? Bowing to saudis? Welcoming Gitmo detainees in the crowd? etc.  Maybe she did? I didn't listen to the clip, nor will I.

These would be great "soft political" targets that would have jump started her come-back? But that would be like giving a corpse mouth-to-mouth.  Enjoy you cartoon voice over career.

 "There is not in all America a more dangerous trait than the deification of mere smartness unaccompanied by any sense of moral responsibility."

I realize that the left is still on their honeymoon with The Obama, but, even newly weds are aware that their spouse has bad breath in the morning!  I didn't realize that Wanda was a comic. I thought she was just another bitter lesbian who doesn't like to smile. 

An excerpt from Pink Floyd's Sheep: 

That's what you get for pretending the danger's not real.
Meek and obedient you follow the leader
Down well trodden corridors into the valley of steel.
What a surprise!
A look of terminal shock in your eyes.
Now things are really what they seem.
No, this is not a bad dream.

Cheap shots....that's all.

Would you expect anything more mature, and sensible from her?  No.

Could you expect anything more wrong?  Yes.

But then again......our "President" found her amusing....and that is a truly disturbing proposition.

Can you stop dissing Wanda Sykes? She poked fun at everyone, from Obama to Pelosi to Hannity and Limbaugh.

Go to 1:40 or so.  After complimenting Michelle on her fabulous arms (btw, are her arms *really* anything special?), Wanda takes a cheap shot at former first ladies.

Sykes did refer to the Bamster as 'a mulatto', which kind of chilled the room. That's unlikely to be in the transcripts of her act that you see here and there.

Should Obama lose in four years and a Republican be elected President, the comedians will return to form in their vicious attacks on the new President, whoever he or she might be.

Apologists will deflect criticism, however, by noting how relentless comedy writers were in their poking fun at Obama.

We live in a dream world.

This guy has been a gaff machine and the best she can come up with is he shows too much nipple? Hate from the left is business as usual.

The liberals will wish death on white men and then demand hate crime bills for every other group.  They can't even see their own hypocrisy.

What seems to have been lost by most is the fact that these dinners have traditionally been a "good-hearted" opportunity for the press to get laughs at the current administration and for the President to get his chance to jibe back and also make a little fun of himself. What did Chairman Obama do with the event? How telling it is what the Press did as well? It was nothing but short of a disgrace and should be seen as such by anyone with a brain and a little honesty in themselves. This is what was elected and speaks volumes of what is in store for the next four years.

As someone whose kidneys have failed, I wouldn't even wish that fate on Wanda Sykes.  But if it happens to Rush, maybe Wanda should be required to be tested to see if she could donate one of hers to him, and required to follow through if she's a match. 

When you put the clowns in charge, don't be surprised when a circus breaks out.

Lol, now we are the treasonous ones? I love how their dictionary changes once they hold the keys.

But seriously. Other than the numerous jabs at the former administration and the deference shown toward the Big O overall, I did get some laughs out of it. I liked Sykes' delivery despite the fact that she seemed a bit uncomfortable operating under the restraints of such a gathering.

Civilization is the progress toward a society of privacy. The savage's whole existence is public, ruled by the laws of the tribe. Civilization is the process of setting man free from men. - Ayn Rand

Hey Cool, was Ruby Magnolia and the Kingfish on the dias?   The rest of the cast was there. Just wondering.

I did notice her nasty comments, particularly about former first ladies, received some well deserved boos.  Ladies like Laura and Barbara Bush, who didn't try to enter into politics, should not be subjected to this type of humor. 

I did like the joke about Obama and Biden's lunch being suggested by Pelosi.

Jen7 likes the Righties going Postal on Wanda?  I would imagine only a tenth of how postal it would be if we called Obama the N-word. 

Moreseo what I love is that since the left has no reasoned or factual arguments, is essentially rudderless in the way they're leading this country, they have to settle for crude lowbrow attacks.  I expect nothing less from these children.

So no cry of foul about that racist a**hole's act from anyone?   And nobody cried foul on sykes' performance either?

If there is a revolution or coup coming, please do it quick.  That douchebag's lying already cost me my job.

obama's notion of bi-partisanship is telling conservatives to shut up and do what he wants.

An African American lesbian unfunny comedienne making fun of white men, with no repercussions. All while our President sits back and laughs about what she is saying. Can you say 'double standard'?  Looking back, it became obvious this man did not have the temperment to lead this nation when he went out of his way to call out Sean Hannity when speaking to a crowd during the campaign. OUR nation is in under direct threat, and it is coming from our own leadership.  

President Obama is nothing more than a lying empty suit; a Hollywood style special effects smoke and mirrors show that has shown itself to be a total fraud.  

WAKE UP AMERICA! SAVE OUR CONSTITUTION! 

Acts, you should  broaden your vocabulary.  Obscene doesn't have to mean curse words.  And this woman is obscene.
