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.

Dick Cheney picks a fight with Colin Powell
Former Vice President Dick Cheney crawled out from under his rock to take a shot at Dubya's former Secretary of State, Colin Powell. He said he thought Powell has already
left the Republican Party.
On Face the Nation, he was asked about General Powell's suggestion that the Republican Party needed to move more to the center.
"I think my take on it was Colin had already left the party. I didn't know he was still a Republican," Cheney said on CBS' "Face the Nation."
Vice President Cheney, of course, is merely following the lead of the Republican Party's Fearless Leader, Rush Limbaugh who in a recent radio address told Powell to
"close the loop and become a Democrat".
Good, boy Dick! Good boy!

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!"
Watch it on

Michael Steele kisses Rush Limbaugh's Ass!
Another Republican rolled over to hand his nuts to radio entertainer, Rush Limbaugh.
First, Rep. Phil Gingrey (R-GA)
genuflected to El Rushbo after being critical of the Republican Grand Poohbah.
Now, RNC Chair Michael Steele felt it necessary to clarify remarks
made to D. L. Hughley. What were the offending statements? He had the audacity to call the entertainer, an entertainer and to suggest Rush was not the leader of the Republican Party.
