Yeah but he heard it, and he’s Bristol’s father..I can’t even imagine what he was thinking when she said that..Greta and her husband were sitting with him. Just imagine, being a father, and having some stand-up comedian make fun of your daughter..OMG I can’t even imagine what Todd had to go through..in a way I wish he hadn’t attended, because he did not need to hear garbage like that from a bunch of leftist jackasses
I am so sorry for your loss. My cousin was diagnosed with the earliest stage kidney cancer 6 months ago, luckily they removed it and now he is fine, but he gets a CT Scan every 3 months to make sure he is fine, just had one done, came back clean(Thank God) for Wanda to say this, wishing death, that is what she was basically saying, that she hopes his kidneys fail and he dies..what the hell was that supposed to be...funny? I sure as hell wasn’t laughing..perhaps Wanda needs to visit a dialysis center to see what pure hell it is to be on that 4 times a week just to live
“When she first referenced Rush and Oxycontin or whatever, the audeience seemed a bit uncomfortable...”
Because whether they like him or not, he is EXACTLY what ALL of them hope to be...they wished they were HALF as powerful with HALF his audience...alas, they remain more sheep in the stable of lies, deceit, and fairy tales
Jeepers. Thanks for the ping.
David Hall??? Do you have anything more on him?
(((jaycee))) I am very sorry for your loss of your husband.
Please know that you have a friend here.
And I agree with you about the show tonight, absolutely filled with arrogant, self important, people who I would not want as my neighbors.
Just a pure lack of class. Remember in Clinton’s first dinner, he made some reference to Limbaugh defending Janet Reno against John Conyers. “He only did that because she was attacked by a black guy”. That was disgusting and offensive (and IIRC Sam Donaldson told Rush to go confront Clinton right there).
Clinton’s a sleaze, but at least he didn’t wish death upon Limbaugh. And Obama thinking it was funny makes it that much more disgusting.
These are some foul, hateful people. If someone on this board wished lung cancer on Obama the smoker, the post would be pulled and the poster may well get banned. Some comedian wishes death upon Rush Limbaugh and Barack Obama laughs.
Obama got ticked at one point- he drank some water- she was sAYING something about him and it looked like he waS TICKED OFF- THEN HE DRANK SOME WATER.
______________
He has a mental illness and I am not joking. A pathological narcissist cannot take any criticism of any kind.
Malia and Molika took AF1 for a drive?
Etc. Etc.Etc.
____________
He said that? Oh boy, he’s a real sh*thead.
What she said tonight about the kidney failure thing cut to my very core. It brought back all those sad times when things went wrong and I saw my husband have to have several surgeries.
I need to contact every network and the Kidney Association and we need to make a stink about this that she will never be able to live down.
What if I could have come back and say to her “Wanda, I wish you would have a major heart attack tonight.” She can’t get by with this kind of talk.
And one more thing, they always ridicule Rush on his drug addiction but when a Hollywood star has addictions, they feel so sorry for them and make a hero or heroine of them and tell about how hard they have worked in rehab., etc.etc.
And that we all must give them a chance since they have worked so hard to kick their habit. Oh, I get so upset at those people, it makes my blood boil.
This is the lamest performance at this dinner in history
__________
He has NO sense of humor at all. His sense of humor consists of mean, snide remarks that he thinks are funny. He is NOT a nice person. He’s mean and hateful.
I happen to find Mr. Palin a much handsomer man — but he is married, and I really like his wife, too. Makes me happy for them. :)
Yep, I can’t figure out a word strong enough either. Just that as a mother it makes me feel that if he were my child I’d have some serious work to do on his character... Back in the olden days (my mom, Grandma) I would’ve instantly smacked it off his face, to be sure!
Thank you, mojo! I haven’t stopped yet. I don’t want to let her remarks tonight die! I want to make her eat her words a thousand times. My mind is working hard thinking about how to fight back. If she only knew what we went through and thousands of others are going through tonight with kidney failure and dialysis.
Todd Palin has more class in his pinky toe then all of those idiots at this dinner have in their entire bodies. I always wonder where Sarah is able to get her strength from, she gets it from Todd..he is her strength, and a wonderful human being.
I wish Todd had gone up to the podium , and given her a real dressing down. In another age she would have gotten a
good caning.
Oh, I’m not trying to deflect from how horrible it must’ve been for him, and how horrible it was for her to even CONSIDER making such a joke, really...
Sorry if I didn’t make that clearer. I agree with you...
