I will look at it tomorrow or tonight If I stay up. Thanks.

Definitely watch the parts with Obama and Wanda Sykes speaking. And don't have any young children in the room while Sykes is speaking... >:-(

UGH. Nasty and very little actual joking about the PreZ. I felt bad for Biden- it’s one thing when they make fun of Repubs, but he and Wanda made more jokes about Biden which seemed very tacky and too easy.

I bet she didn’t say a damn thing about her dear leader

Just about everything Sykes said about Obama and Michelle were glowing and positive, as far as I can remember.

The point of this dinner is for the current president and the invited comedian to poke lighthearted fun at the currrent president and his administration. Of course these leftists just could not resist trashing the previous administration, Sarah Palin and current conservative talk show hosts... anyone who is a threat to them. Childish and low-class as usual.

Sykes' vile was directed at Pres. G. W. Bush, VP Cheney, Sarah Palin's daughter, Republicans in general, Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity.

Wanda Sykes stated emphatically tonight: "I hope Rush Limbaugh's kidneys fail."

feel so bad for Todd, having to sit there and hear that disgusting piece of garbage Wanda Sykes trash his family. Wanda, you are worse then scum!! Did you also hear what she said about Rush Limbaugh, saying that she hopes his kidneys fail..oh real funny idiot, hoping a human being dies..my cousin has kidney issues, I don’t think wishing death upon someone should be made into a joke. Maybe Wanda needs to visit a dialysis center to see what PAIN looks like...and Obama just sat there and probably laughed his ass off..I wouldn’t be surprised..disgusting, I miss Bush, now HE had CLASS

Barack Obama is a low-class street hustler. That’s how he got where he is today. He is amoral, narcissistic, power-hungry and just plain evil.

How could he laugh at that foulmouthed lesbian? If they wanted a FUNNY foulmouthed lesbian, they could have gotten Whoopi Goldberg.

Am so glad you pinged me...
Can’t wait to spread the news.
They are baiting the right wing extremists on the dhs hitlist. I have to bite my tongue-—for fear of not using “proper english”. The jerkoffs.

Unreal. Nothing about these lowlifes can shock us now.
And they’re in OUR White House !

I’d like to see a replay of that ... I muted her
after her initial filth.

That’s why I was kind of relieved he was there and not her, really. Not that I’m not praying for those folks with the flooding issues - Palin’s got her priorities in order,and it’s great for Todd to step in for these things, too.

Wanda was probably upset she wasn’t there to hear the abuse in person...

That is how he held his head during the entire dinner. Condescending is not a strong enough word.

Her wishing Rush’s kidneys would fail...does she realize what this means?

I lost my husband 5 years ago because his kidneys failed. There was no kidney disease in his family and his kidneys began to fail, which meant he was immediately on dialysis. We were waiting for a kidney and after 2 years on dialysis, he passed away. What a heart break this was for me to hear? Its like saying ‘she hopes Rush or anyone gets cancer’ or anything of that nature. I believe all those folks in America who are living on dialysis feel terribly hurt. Dialysis is one hard thing to go through.

I just wanted to share this with you because the kidney remark hit too close to home and made me hurt all over.
