No No, I wasn’t directing what I was saying to you, just a general comment..I’m sorry if you thought that was directed at you, I totally agree with everything you said..it ticks me off so much that this Wanda Sykes idiot was given a podium to say such vile things..all she shows is how uneducated she is..I bet she has some family members who got pregnant out of wedlock

“He has a mental illness and I am not joking. A pathological narcissist cannot take any criticism of any kind.”

Yep, very true... What was she saying about HIM? Can anyone remember? [I didn’t watch it].

Your thoughst also go along with Candor’s “diagnosis” of Obama’s political style of Fascism as well.

No problems... :) Thanks for letting me know, though. LOL

People tend to mis-communicate more when they are angry, so it’s no-one’s fault or anything! LOL And, I know I am angry about this right now — it’s just not civil, or moral what they do... It’s like evil behavior....

Catch ya’ll later. Turning in now as its midnight.

I had a happy day today. I had a granddaughter graduate from college today and the other one graduated last Saturday.

So Wanda, here’s to you raining on other’s parades. But I will fight you back, Wanda!

Nite, All!

Good point...My husband is now going to Iraq in less than two weeks and we now have this joker)scary guy) in office. Violence is going up and he's laughing, toasting the town.

I'm gonna need to pray more, get more ammunition and pray that my husband and all of our brothers and sisters come home despite he has made them less safe. (I was there in 2005 and my husband was there in 2007-2008) With his policies the violence is now escalated because they do not fear us.

Joke about him and Biden going for burgers- must have been Pelosi’s idea...that did not go over well. Joke about him being first black Prez but does he have to play BB? One step forward two steps back...Joke about how he might THINK he’s a good player, but no one will play rough cause SS is watching... reAlly not funny or even directed at him per se...

I could not watch it—I can only take so much Obama. I gather Sykes did a number on the Palin family. Todd should have stood up and said “That’s so gay.”

The hypocrisy should not surprise me, but it does. I wonder if she will get the attention Imus got when he spoke about Clinton at the WH Correspondents’ Dinner.

Both of them are as talented and funny as a sheet of fabric softener. Both of them only have any semblance of careers because of their races - let’s be honest!

Thanks. That was pretty comprehensive.

There was (is) a newsman, news director by the name of David Hall. He sometimes went as David Gordon Hall at KFI. Just wondering if they may have been the same.

For all the laughs, Obama must remember by his own admission he is a junkie too.

I really wonder why any of you bothered watching these lowlife s-—birds all evening.

Did you expect anything less than a bunch of scumbags spewing hatred directed at anyone who won’t worship at their feet?

The fascist left can never be gracious either in victory or defeat.

They are all lower than whale s-— and whale s-— lies on the bottom of the ocean.
