Limbaugh can take care of himself...and I expect he will.

re: #1 FurryOldGuyJeans

*YAWN*

I second that yawn and raise you a shrug

I don't think it was funny, viscious perhaps. The idea behind these events used to be to "roast" the prez not batter his opponents.

Where were the jokes about Obama's drug use?

re: #3 opilio

I second that yawn and raise you a shrug

I ante up a "meh".

"I hope the Administration fails" is not "I hope the country fails."

Pretty low bar for "talent" these days.

Wanda Sykes is lying about Rush Limbaugh's statement. Limbaugh never said that he hoped the country would fail.

And Limbaugh deserves waterboarding for that?

She wants his kidneys to fail. Lovely.
yeesh.

Wanda Sykes is the worst comedian.

re: #6 solomonpanting

"I hope the Administration fails" is not "I hope the country fails."

Let's just start parsing endlessly stuff and gnaw on old soup. Let's ignore the future and the direction of where we're headed.

Does it really matter what Rush said and meant as O and Congress bloat the generational debt even more?

No, no, no Wanda. Rush was not the 20th highjacker. Obama is.

Just another leftard that hasn't listened or refuses to listen to what Rush actually said. (yawn)

Lame.

But Rush can still go suck an exhaust pipe.

1) Yawn for the "joke"
2) Not shocked that Limbaugh was misquoted and taken out of context
3) Dissapointed the The One laughed
4) Anticipating Rush's response tomorrow for nothing other than the laughs (I'm POSITIVE he'll feign outrage)

Rush will love this - free publicity that he can billboard for weeks. Definitely over the top, just like Rush's "fail" commentary. The difference is that Rush is an entertainer and political commentator, not a journalist. People expect him to go over the top.

Who's Wanda Sykes? Please, don't tell me. I could give a rat's a**. Rush ought to have fun with it, though, tomorrow. Gotta make a point to listen.

What a bitch.

Wanda Sucks.

Sykes Sucks. She's even less funny than Sandra Bernhard.

She's a trash-talking jerk, talking trash to jerks.

Nasty, stupid, mean-spirited and profane has been the currency of what is sold as "comedy" for quite some time. I'm more annoyed at this further evidence of what "comedy" has become than at the specifics of her drivel.

I agree with you, I stopped watching Comedy Central ages ago for just that reason, and I don't miss it.

well, no news is good news eh?...Rush will handle it with his usual flair

re: #21 Alouette

Last time I saw S. Bernhardt was on Bill Maher's (that dweeb) Politically Incorrect and Niger Innis handed her head to her over a stupid comment- and she knew it and blushed as much as anyone could- shut her up the rest of the show.

This morning on "This Week" some footage of this event was aired where Wanda DID throw a few zingers at Obama.

What little they showed of her bit wasn't much of roast, though. More like a very light grilling.

She's a pig.

re: #22 Soona'

When you are specific I can't disagree, but Rush was non specific. We have two wars underway in which lots of our service people have paid the ultimate sacrifice. If Obama fails big then those efforts will be undermined through lack of political capital.

I think the Fail meme is a lot of pundits whistling past the graveyard and hoping for a Johsonesque or Carteresque 4 and out scenario. So I'm not hoping for another failure scenario like those two after seeing what both failures begat. It's one of those "be careful what you wish for" scenarios. Carter's policy for Iraq certainly failed, and what do we have today? I'd rather see limited success, and a victory for the R's in 2012. If our strategy calls for Obama to fail, then we have lost before we begin because we have no hope or better future to offer America if that's the best we have.

*Yawn* To Sykes. Not worth the effort to get upset over. Obama would do much better and look ahead, instead of repeatedly referencing the past. You can only blame the other guys for so long.

if the republicans had a similar event where a right wing comedian (yea i know there are not many of those) made fun of michael moore, or some other lefty, saying he/she hopes his kidney fails, i think there would be a lot of people asking for some heads to roll. The left just isn't held to any standards (because they don't have any)

Wishing for someone to die of kidney failure passes for "goofing" these days? Sad

This was a career move for Sykes. She's more or less a cartoon voice artist at this point. Her "comedy" hasn't exactly paid the bills since about 2003.

I never listen to Rush Limbaugh, but I must say that this woman's jokes are tasteless and quite typical of the double standards of the Left. If a conservative were to make similar jokes the same folks who are laughing here would be indignant.

re: #52 Cato the Elder
No link, but it went something like this-
Topic came 'round briefly to the maginalization of black politicians who weren't (lefty) party- liners...
I think Colin Powell (still counted as a Republican, back then) was brought up and Bernhardt said "Oh, but HE's not BLACK" and Innis looked her right in the eye and said "How DARE you say that" and the whole panel suddenly exploded with everyone talking at once until Maher quickly changed the subject, thereby cutting off Innis, who couldn't be heard over the uproar anyway.

"The boy [sometimes, "the old man"] in the boat" is a slightly archaic euphemism for the clitoris.

There is an old blues song from the '20s called "The Boy in the Boat" which goes in part like this:

When you see two women walkin'
Hand in hand
Just look 'em over and try to understand
Go to these parties, turn the lights down low
Only those parties where women can go
You think I'm lyin'? Just ask Tack Ann*
Took many a broad from many a man
Face is all wrinkled, and his breath smells like soap
Talkin' 'bout that boy in the boat.

You obviously don't listen either. He's been very specific.

Fans know what he was talking about, but you can't expect the people who might get turned off by that kind of statement to listen to Rush's show for clarification of his remarks. If what Thanos says about the NY election is true then the damage was done -out of context or not.

re: #143 Thanos

Yes I do on occasion. When he first made the remark it was non specific, later he elaborated. I think it was purposefully non specific to gain attention and it worked. The campaign in NY 20 might have turned against the R's based on that remark - there was a mass mail campaign that went out right before election Painting Tedisco as the Rush candidate, up to that point Tedisco was running even or ahead, but his campaign went T.U. after the flyers went out with his opponent basically running against Rush, not Tedisco.

Since I'm looking at this diatribe of yours again, I'll ask you point blank. Do you listen to Rush on a regular basis?

I didn't find it that offensive just not funny. Of course it was totally unfair to say Limbaugh's hope of Obama failing means he hopes America fails. Limbaugh obviously doesn't like Obamas policies and hopes they fail.

So even though it was wide humor not meant to be hurtful (I hope his kidneys fail) I didn't like the joke because it was based on a distortion. Still it's just a joke and no one's going to take anything Wanda Sykes says all that serious. She's cute so she can get away with being a little mean and it's taken as sort of devilish and a little savoring her own badness.

I'd rather see comedians distorting and attacking Limbaugh (who can defend himself quite well) than say slandering and ridiculing for being evil people who were really trying to protect us all.

I don't listen to Rush hardly at all. I will say this, whether you care for him or not, he is very generous towards our troops. That means more than anything to me. As well, he is pretty active in his support for research in blood cancers as well.

I think there is a line many of can cross in the heat of the moment, argument, or debate. If she represents his words, bad on her. That is not being an honest critic of him. Judging from what little record Obama has to go on, I hope he does not succeed in implementing socialized health care, and many of the social programs, and the subsequent burdensome taxation that will follow. Face the facts, that is the truth.

If you search my records on here, when it became public knowledge of Elizabeth Edwards, & Ted Kennedy's conditions, I had sympathy. I questioned those who justified their political stances, and getting cancer as just deserts. That don't wash with me. This stuff does not know if you are an Independent, Democrat, or Republican.

What bothers me more, is that wishing for someone's health to fail is more than wishing their politics to fail. It is. It is ugly, crosses the bounds of decency, and morality. Saying this in the presence of our new President, and the laughs to follow should bother everyone.

It is unAmerican.

From the Wiki:

n ancient Greece, tyrants were influential opportunists that came to power by securing the support of different factions of a deme. The word "tyrannos" then carried no ethical censure; it simply referred to anyone, good or bad, who obtained executive power in a polis by unconventional means. Support for the tyrants came from the growing class of business people and from the peasants who had no land or were in debt to the wealthy land owners.

Now who does that remind you of.
