  1. Oh that makes sense. Saying one person should have kidney failure is way worse than someone saying they hope a whole nation fails. That makes so much sense.

    And again, hypocrisy wins.

  2. Here’s something matt, why didn’t those same reasonable people come up with an alternative plan?

    I feel your problem should not be with Obama, but with the republican party. Who has been reduced to smoke and mirrors that amounts to the party of No.

    What was the republican alternative? Could you tell me?

  3. Ok. I can understand that. But would you wish some kind of curse on them, one that might actually be possible? I mean the kidney failure thing is more possible for RL because of the oxycontin use, so that statement about kidney failure (which isn’t even a joke) is really malicious.

  4. That 20th hijacker bit was over-the-top, but the kidney joke was hilarious. That was just Wanda being Wanday though, I love how the left/right wings are bickering back and forth.

  5. Catch up on our “civilized” spelling.

  8. Since they realized (1) their ratings stink to high heaven and (2) maybe it’s time to regain its old First Persian Gulf War rep.

  9. Ok. let’s try this: Reasonable people can wish that the Prez fails in his attempting to indebt the nation another $10 trillion over the next 8 years.

  10. Conservatives are such pussies… Why can’t they take a joke… it is ridiculous. I can’t believe there is a national discussion going on about who’s feeling might be hurt. Someone euthanize (figuratively) the republican party and put it out of its misery.

  11. So when did CNN become a Fox wannabe?

  12. wanda sykes sounds like she’s drunk. And yeah she did say some stupid shit. Comparing Rush to the tragedy of 911? No matter who was responsible, that’s nothing to joke about

  13. geffel is pretty dead on, British comedy is rough.

    But in our Nation’s comic defense, the dinner she was performing at is a forum where she isn’t allowed to curse and she has to hold back quite a bit. She is actually pretty blue most times.

  14. Wanda is great!

    Comment by SamariaTV — June 9, 2009 @ 9:14 am

  15. Hilarious.

    This humour was NOTHING compared to the stuff British comedians say.

    Catch up with the civilised world, people.

  16. fuck off you racist cunt.

    Comment by geffel — June 13, 2009 @ 3:01 pm

  17. Lots of people hate Rush. Not just Wanda Sykes.

    I am a standup and yes they do from time to time actually HATE various audience members.

    Here’s a few examples of a hated audience member: any heckler, the guy who doesn’t turn off his phone, the person who talks during your set, any person who interupts what you work so hard to perfect is up for the honors of hatred towards a random audience member.

  18. who invited this ghetto trash whore to speak? does anyone in this crap administration ever take even 1 second to think before making another stupid decision. every day it’s just another blunder after blunder after blunder. 4 years of this embarrassing mess? JUST SAY NO!

  19. mattlewis66 really?

    Nice strawman arguement. This was your idea with which obama should fail: If he repealed all environmental laws you’d wish he’d fail at that….

    Great. Me too, as would any human being. You might as well have said, “If Barack Obama were to force us all to wear clown noses and only sleep three and a half hours a day then I would want him to fail.”

    That is a weak way to try and defend Rush’s comments.

    Comment by thetalentedmrwhite — June 21, 2009 @ 9:22 pm

  20. If the Prez wanted to repeal all green laws, I would want him to fail. What’s wrong with that?

    Comment by mattlewis66 — June 24, 2009 @ 12:40 pm

  21. I really doubt the comic has a hate towards a random audience member. WS appears to have a hate to Rush L.

    Comment by mattlewis66 — June 26, 2009 @ 11:00 am

  22. imitating Howard. That was sooo funny! Wow, and it is so true, they all protect Limby, everyone is so scared of that man.

    Comment by nubianlegalmind — June 26, 2009 @ 7:00 pm

  23. Rush has lied plenty of times. I don’t see why we can’t ignore his one genuine human flaw which is drug addiction and go after his deliberate flaws - which is being a manipulative liar.

    Going after oxycontin thing and the “I want Obama to fail” thing is cheap. That’s not going to win over his listeners or neo-cons who think they’re conservatives.

    When people see they’ve been lied to, they get mad. When you get all personal, it generates sympathy for Rush. It really does.

  24. organ failure… over a whole country failing… yeah, thats totally equal.
