Rushbo: If You Live by OxyContin and Chickenhawk Anal Cysts, Then Don't Complain When You Become the Butt of a Joke.

Oh, Rush, just shut your pie hole -- you and Dick Cheney and the whole Chickenhawk wing of whiners.

So Wanda Sykes nailed you with a sardonic joke at the normally servile, dowdy (except for the landmark Stephen Colbert lashing of Bush and the D.C. media a couple years back) White House Correspondents' Association dinner.

You avoided the Vietnam draft because of an anal cyst; you’ve been everything but convicted of illegal addiction to drugs; you’ve been discovered on a hedonist trip to the Dominican Republic (engaging in sex with women, girls or boys); and you make tens of millions of dollars with hate talk radio that thrives on phrases like "feminazis" and "Barack the Magic Negro."

As usual, The Daily Show brilliantly mocked the faux demand of the usual winger amen chorus accusing Sykes – and Obama by association – of being politically incorrect.

Well, if you dish it out, you better be able to take it. Otherwise, you look like the bully on the playground who just got the sh*t kicked out of him by the girl with thick bottle glasses – or in this case, even more embarrassing to the GOP joke police - by a black female lesbian comic.

Wanda Sykes, as BuzzFlash noted just after the Saturday WH Correspondents' Association dinner, made us feel like someone opened the windows on the stuffy self-aggrandizing event, which is more like a gathering of media elite insider celebrities and Hollywood celebrities. After an initial uncertainty if they should be caught being amused, even the self-protective D.C. "scribes" and executives were laughing their heads off. (The California stars loved it from the beginning. It was great stand-up, and they knew it.)

Ironically, on the morning after the dinner, the now ubiquitous Dick Cheney – his Count Dracula coffin must be lonely without him – declared that Rush Limbaugh represented the future of the Republican Party, not Colin Powell. (We could say that Dick always has had a little bit of the racist vein in him, voting against a national holiday for Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and supporting the apartheid South African government, but we won’t go there for the moment.)

If Rush Limbaugh and his posse are offended by the kind of joke that is common at a "roasting," they could always just load up on a supply of Rush’s beloved OxyContin and chill out.

God knows, we wouldn’t miss them for a moment from the airwaves.

Their absence might even lead to the return of a civilized society.

COWARDS IN THE NEWS

Submitted by RenoMike on Tue, 05/12/2009 - 5:23pm.
LIMBAUGH DODGED THE DRAFT BY BRINGING HIS RICH FAMILY'S OBEDIENT DOCTOR INTO THE SELECTIVE SERVICE OFFICE IN ORDER TO ESCAPE EXAMINATION BY A SISSY-SMART MILITARY DOCTOR... CHANEY DODGED THE DRAFT BY CONCOCTING HALF A DOZEN DIFFERENT PHONY DEFERMENT ALIBIS, AND EVEN MARRIED A SHILL TO KEEP HIS SISSY ASS FROM THE UNPLEASANT JOB OF DEFENDING OUR COUNTRY... BOTH OF THESE GIRLYBOYS MADE LOTS OF MONEY BY REPEATEDLY CHEERING FOR MORE AND MORE WAR. IT'S NOT SURPRISING THAT THE SMARTEST OF US VETERANS DETEST BOTH COWARDS... I WISH I COULD BE ON THE STREETS IN THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC THE NEXT TIME LIMBAUGH FLIES THERE TO SCORE A LITTLE PRE-TEEN ABUSE. I WISH I COULD HAVE A VERY PRIVATE CHAT WITH CHANEY. I WISH OBAMA WAS AS TOUGH AS HE IS SMART.

Outrage over Sykes

Submitted by revolution9 on Tue, 05/12/2009 - 2:33pm.

Keith O excepted, did any of those dumping on Wanda Sykes express outrage when Limbaugh made an extremely tasteless joke when John Kennedy Jr died?

Typical bully, can dish it out but can't take it.

Sykes calls out Rush for Treason

Submitted by Plus 15 on Tue, 05/12/2009 - 2:01pm.
Plus 15 - All the talking heads left and right are busy protecting the grotesque Limbaugh from Sykes wordplay taking Limbaugh's attack on Obama and the U.S. - "Hoping Obama fails" and turning it into Hoping Limbaugh's kidney's fail a perfectly professional joke on a guy who doesn't censure his own vile attacks(i.e. Michael J. Fox for one)but nobody has mentioned or become upset that Wanda Sykes called Limbaugh out for Treason (appropriately at that).

It is not about Limbaugh or even Sykes

Submitted by Freedem on Tue, 05/12/2009 - 2:38pm.
They indeed go into gales of laughter about Limbaugh doing fake Michael J Fox imitations, and some might still find humor in a cat burning.

But is is like sitting in a theater watching the original Jack Lemon/Sandy Dennis "Out of Towners" as each bad news and pratfall piles on you could almost measure the political leanings of the audience by what part of the movie folk quit laughing and some welled up in tears

If the Gang Of Pirates think that the only good Democrat is a dead Democrat, it is not any part of Bipartisan to accommodate them and roll over and play dead.

In addition to her delicious

In addition to her delicious remarks, Wanda might have brought along a prop—namely a large photo of Rushbo. Then, she could have removed her shoes and defaced the photo. It would have been appropriate tribute to the *BFF. —Liebling * Big Fat Fascist

Sykes still crossed a line

Submitted by Freedem on Tue, 05/12/2009 - 12:41pm.
I have to agree with Olbermann on this. What the GOP has done and said about 9/11 is certainly a joke and worthy of them. That the Islamist fringe is just a mirror of our own theocratic fringe is also fodder for jokes. Even suggesting that war criminals think about being victims of the war crimes they committed, is edgy on that line but not over it.

However that Limbaugh was a part of 9/11 or should be bloodily attacked is the kind of jokes they make and are not funny to anyone with sufficient empathy to be called Progressive. Even the fact that Limbaugh had a part in the hate speech that led to the Oklahoma Bombing, while true, would not be reasonable grounds for joking about it.

If the Gang Of Pirates think that the only good Democrat is a dead Democrat, it is not any part of Bipartisan to accommodate them and roll over and play dead.

She crossed NO SUCH line!

Submitted by kroses98 on Wed, 05/13/2009 - 12:36am.
She, instead, was the only one in the room who had a SPINE to say what we ALL were thinking. I was euphoric when she said what she said. The only problem is that Obama should have had the guts to tell it like it was, a long time ago. She had to do his (and all the Democrats') work for them, because of their wimpiness!

See above It is not about her.

See above It is not about her. See Also why the left cannot use all the tools of the right, we cannot wield them because they serve the purposes of the Right no matter who wields them. Ask the Weathermen how well that worked out.

Wonderful Wanda

Submitted by kathy2 on Tue, 05/12/2009 - 12:37pm.
Despite his gasping becoming louder, Dick Cheney has turned into quite a songbird for the GOP. I can't help but be pleased with his declaration of Rush Limbaugh as the leading voice of the party, which might help to scare off any remaining moderates that are left. As far as Wanda Sykes' pig roasting goes, the reaction of some conservatives help to confirm how accurate it actually was -- especially comparing Rush and in effect, others of his mindset and verbiage, to Al Qaeda. I hope her career takes off all the more after this. We need more beacons of sanity and laughter.

Rambo Rushbo Chickenhawk

Submitted by PorkLoin on Tue, 05/12/2009 - 12:24pm.
Truth be told, the true reason El Rambo Rushbo missed his patriotic duty as the 20th hijacker was he had a inconvenient relapse of Pimple-on-Butt disease and begged a personal 4F deferment from General Osama bin Laughing.. otherwise Fatso Rambo surely woulda been there sweating bullets into his double-wide first class seat with his deadly box cutters stuffed up his asscrack along side his stash of OxyCuntin. El Lardo Lips, a great amurkkkan, indeed
