Always reminds me of this:
[Quote from -- CNN: Obama: GOP Doesn't own Faith Issue]
Also reminds me: "Pride goeth before a fall..."

And slammed President Bush.
It seems that the O’s know they are so low they can only elevate themselves by trashing their betters.
When the comedian goes over the top it’s supposed to be against the President, LOL, this is too rich
Surely you jest!
This is a despicable performance by comedian Wanda Sykes... Let me state this for the record: Wanda Sykes just said: "I hope Rush Limbaugh's kidneys fail".
Sykes and Obama himself have gone on and on about President Bush, VP Dick Cheney, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, that disgusting "pulled out too soon" 'joke' referencing Sarah Palin's daughter... (Todd Palin is in the audience with Greta Van Sustern and her husband, by the way).
This is in disgustingly poor taste, even worse than I expected. Wanda Sykes might have well just gone ahead and jumped up and down on the bed in the Lincoln Bedroom.
Isn't the idea of this dinner that the current president poke fun at himself and his administration, and that the comedian poke "lighthearted fun" at the current administration??
CSpan, you should think twice about carrying this next year.
Thanks for the ping. I am watching NASCAR. I had no idea this was going on.
I couldn’t agree more. The contrast of what was and what is, leaves me terribly depressed and I STILL cannot come to grips with the fact that he is our President.
I couldn't watch. A low-class president lowers the whole evening like night follows day.
I flipped over to a True Crime program. Not much difference from the tacky banquet and the various thugs, con artists and presstitutes in tuxes and gowns sitting at the tables.

The only reason MSNBC slammed the jokes was because the journalists were caught laughing.
So much for their insistence that there is NO bias in the msm.
**********************************************
MSNBC now talking about Zero's ‘nibbles’....Can you imagine?
Yes, the Press Corps Dinner was traditionally about self-deprecation humor but this is the ‘change’ we didn't need!
No class....and no respect for the decorum of the office!
Welcome to Cbamanation!
Didn’t even think about watching it,with that juvenile delinquent president and his slobbering media flunkies.
I watched a great movie instead—”House of the Flying Daggers.”
The handsomest man on the planet.
If you disagree, you are blind.
I’ll drink to that ... I’m still baffled, confounded
and completely flummoxed and in disbelief that it
actually happened !!!!!
Our poor America.
Greta's fantasy comes true! Todd Palin takes her to the prom! She looks positively giddy.
Yeah, I want to know what was said about Sarah..how dare that bitch say anything like that about a child while her FATHER was sitting right there. Disgusting, vile piece of trash that Wanda Sykes is..I bet she didn’t say a damn thing about her dear leader
I almost forgot myself... hubby and I have been watching baseball.
Lots of disgusting, typical arrogant condescending liberal-type "humor" tonight, especially from Wanda Sykes who stated: "I hope Rush Limbaugh's kidneys fail!"
I sure miss Dubya and lovely First Lady Laura Bush... poking fun at themselves, which is how the humor at this annual dinner is supposed to work. Of course the rules have changed now that Dear Leader Obama is in office... all venom and despicable "jokes" have been directed at the former administration, Sarah Palin, Republicans in general and conservative talk show hosts.
Notice that NBC was allowed 10 times as many invitees as ABC or CBS, and 20 tiems those from FoxNews.
I will look at it tomorrow or tonight If I stay up. Thanks.
Yep, I agree, FRiend. Every time I see that small, vaguely-foreign man (particularly with his nose up in the air), I say out loud: "I can't believe this guy is President of the United States".
He'll NEVER be MY President... >:-(
