Obama Laughed at a joke about Limbaugh?!?! Oh, my!
Breitbart,
Drudge, and most of the other Wrong Wing Pundants have their knickers in a knot because President Obama "may" have laughed at Wanda Sykes' joke about Limbaugh's kidneys failing.
First, our President is expected to be able to solve any problem, fight any foe, deal with any obstacle that may befall his constiuents, AND cure all illness. Now, we find out the President always needs to also monitor all jokes for appropriateness when told by a professional comedian. Even when that comedian is Wanda Sykes and know for some of her raucous and even raunchy jokes.
Did Breitbart get in a snit when President Bush
insulted the troops regarding WMD.
Limbaugh can say, "I hope the President's policies fail" during Obama's first weeks in office, but a raunchy comedian can't say,
"I hope America fails... I hope his kidney's fail!" Or, if she happens to say it, the President better not giggle, snort, or guffaw, for fear the media will think him unsensitive.
Don't invite comedians to a function with the President if he can't laugh.

Wanda Sykes soars at Press Club Dinner
Wanda Sykes was the comedic entertainment at the Press Club Dinner Saturday night. There were a couple groans out of the audience, but overall she was quite funny. She took cheap shots at Limbaugh's oxycontin addiction, and Cheney shooting friends in the face, but got a lot of laughs from the politicians and media folk in the crowd.
When she blasted Limbaugh and got a groan, Sykes bantered with President Obama, "Too much?", she asked. "Ok, but you're laughing on the inside, right? You know you are!"

Havana calling...
President Obama
lifted travel restrictions to Cuba on Monday.
There was no mention in the Executive Order regarding the number of Cohibas that can legally be brought back in to the States.
The Wrong Wing, of course will be in partial melt down after White House Latin American policy adviser Dan Restrepo spoke in Spanish from the Press podium. It seems it may be the first time a foreign language was uttered in the Press Room... not counting some of comments made by President Bush, of course.
