While Lush becomes wealthier along with his right wing collutionists, the nutty right wing zombie like followers become poorer.No joke about that.

Ya know? I consider myself to have a pretty good sense of humor. And I enjoy a nasty dig at us Republicans if it is well done and clever. But I gotta tell you, Sykes’ joke just wasn’t funny. It lacked imagination. The 20th hijacker? Huh? A lame drug joke? Please! If you are gonna offend with a joke, make it count, people! There is plenty of better material about Rush.

Obama’s stuff was much funnier. Liked his joke about the GOP not being eligible for a bailout and Rush not being an asset.

I liked the one about Michell’s “right to bare arms”…very clever.

btw….Rush used to use a lot more humor in his early days…but then….when one has as large an audience is it really time to change the formula?

I disagree; the GOP already tries to offend (rather than simply being offended) and it’s really annoying because they stop listening altogether and just try to piss everyone off. Rush, Ann Coulter, Sean Hannity, and that other crazy blonde lady (can’t think of her name right now) are all offensive people but they’re not funny. Wanda Sykes was offensive but she was funny because she didn’t start any fights. She was just mocking people who were arrogant and hypocritical and didn’t have a sense of humor about it. Obama’s jokes were pretty decent too. Love the one about John Boehner being a person of color.

Mary,

You do have it in writing – and if you stick around this site long enough you’ll find that Obama gets it far worse (and far less politically-correct) from us than pretty much any other U.S. politician.

And with good reason.

I agree that we should be able to take a joke but can I have this in writing for the next time a conservative makes a joke and then has to resign.

I think wanting someones kidneys to fail is a little more vile than in the case of Jessie Hemms being complimented on his birthday.

Nice, is that because we should get our facts and news from CNN and Al Franken?

I really hope our non-citizen, cocaine sniffing Muslim president’s kidneys fail too!.

“Limbaugh in particular is guy we’ve always viewed as a bloviating fear-monger who preaches to a bunch of people who exist to be offended.”

Though I typically disagree with everything you say, this was one hell of a good point you made. Everytime someone tells me they “heard it on Fox News” or “Rush says…”, is it common reflex to grasp their throat and shake them for a few minutes?
