Go Hards

The White House Correspondents Dinner was last night and both President Obama and comedienne Wanda Sykes brought their A game. First President Obama unloaded the clip on friend and foe alike but mostly in a good natured way.





And after he was done Wanda Sykes brought out the heavy artillery and just started dumping. She gave a performance that I am sure had many in the audience squirming and the best part is she didn't give a damn. And she dropped so much heat on Rush Limbaugh I am surprised that Glenn Beck and Michael Steele didn't run out of the room screaming and pulling out their hair over hearing their hero defamed in such a fashion. You could tell however that, but for the cameras, many if not most in attendance probably wanted to give Wanda a standing ovation for saying the things they really want to say but can't because of political correctness. She cut the right wingers long, deep and wide and they will be licking their wounds for some time after this one.




Now one of the best things I have seen from President Obama in the two times in the last year that he has had to do some comedy is that he is very adept at taking wingnut talking points and making fun of himself with them which in turn makes the wingnuts look even more foolish than usual. Starting off the set with the teleprompter bit was the AWESOME. But I am sure there will be conservative clowns crying because he called out FoxNews. In that same manner I am almost certain that there will be Republicans falling all over themselves to "defend Rush Limbaugh's honor" by denouncng Wanda Sykes. In both cases all I can say is WIN! LOL

Robert Gibbs smacks down two wingnut talking points and makes the WaPo reporter asking them look silly. I wonder if she is related to Ed Henry?
