Legendary Comic and Impersonator Jonathan Winters Dies at Age 87 … RIP

The death of true comedy …

Legendary comic and impersonator Jonathan Winters has passed away at his home in Montecito, California at age 87. The world just got a little less funny with his passing. Jonathan Winters was simply hysterical. Remember an era of comedy that was not mean spirited, laced with profanity and witty, neither do I. But during Winters’ era it was.  Winters was a comic genius who could switch in and out of character impersonations like we switch a light switch or today’s generations change their Facebook status, tweet or text. Winters inspired generations of improve comics, probably none better than Robbin Williams. And as fate would have it, Winters would later have a role on Williams’ popular TV show ‘Mork & Mindy’ VIDEO) as his son Merth. However,  I remember Winters best for his role in It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. Just priceless comedy. The gas station scene (VIDEO) with Winters and Fred Silver … just too funny. This movie just never gets old. And who can forget when Jonathon Winters was a special guest crime solving with the Scooby Doo gang (VIDEO) where he played himself, Jonathan Winters, the not so famous comedian, hahaha. We shall miss you.

Mr. Winters was at his best when winging it, confounding television hosts and luckless straight men with his rapid-fire delivery of bizarre observations uttered by characters like Elwood P. Suggins, a Midwestern Everyman, or one-off creations like the woodland sprite who bounded onto Jack Paar’s late-night show and simperingly proclaimed: “I’m the voice of spring. I bring you little goodies from the forest.”

A one-man sketch factory, Mr. Winters could re-enact Hollywood movies, complete with sound effects, or create sublime comic nonsense with simple props like a pen-and-pencil set.

The unpredictable, often surreal quality of his humor had a powerful influence on later comedians like Robin Williams but made him hard to package as an entertainer. His brilliant turns as a guest on programs like “The Steve Allen Show” and “The Tonight Show” — in both the Jack Paar and Johnny Carson eras — kept him in constant demand. But a successful television series eluded him, as did a Hollywood career, despite memorable performances in films like “It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World,” “The Loved One” and “The Russians Are Coming, the Russians Are Coming.”

YIKES, Easily the Worst Basketball Free Throw Shot in History Courtesy of Appalachian State’s Center Brian Okam … “Good Lord”

This might be the promo for the next Southwest commercial … Wanna Get Away?

I had previously thought that the worst free throw shot I had ever seen was in the movie ‘Hoosiers’ when Ollie of Hickory badly missed his underhand free throw. Of course that was a movie, the following was not. This poor guy is never going to live this one down. From the viral video below comes Brian Okam of Appalachian State and easily the worst free throw ever … “GOOD LORD”!!!

Liberal Comedian Jammie Foxx Thinks its Funny to Joke About Killing Whitey, “I kill all the white people in the room” … How Great and Black is That? (VIDEO)

SHAMEFUL DOUBLE STANDARD … Welcome to Obamaland where reverse racism is deemed perfectly ok. This is the divisive crap that America is going to have to put up with.

Who knew it was funny to joke about killing whitey? It would appear Saturday Night Live, Jammie Foxx and the audience did.  Foxx’s entire monologue was based upon, “How black is that”. Foxx began by saying, “I am dressed in black, because its good to be black. Black is the new white.” He then went on to say the following “kill whitey” comment that drew cheers from the audience. UNREAL. Imagine if a white actor/comedian said it was great to kill blacks people? Just imagine.

 “I got a new movie coming out ‘Django Unchained’. And in the movie I got to wear chains, how whack is that. But don’t be worried about it because in the movie I get out of the chains. I get free. I save my wife and I kill all the white people in the movie. How great is that? And how black is that”?

Some one might need to remind Jammie Foxx, the folks at SNL and those who ignorantly laughed at Foxx’s jokes of some words from a far more famous and influential black person than Jammie Foxx or Barack Obama. Obviously Jammie Foxx has no character.

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. (Martin Luther King, Jr.)

 ”I kill all the white people in the room” … How great  is That?

It is truly sad that people of color are making color such a big issue. I thought that liberals wanted there to be no color barrier and all people should be treated the same? So then why do they keep bring the issue of color up? Imagine, just imagine what would be said of a white, Tea Party comedian who’s routine was based upon “how white is that” referenced killing all the black people in the room? They would be branded a racist, a member of the KKK and fired. How sad is it that Democrats continue with the racially divisive speak?  If I did not know better I would almost say they are baiting folks into a race war.  Just curious, had Romney won the 2012 election would it have been ok to say that “white is the new black”?

Newsbusters reminds us that it was just mere weeks ago that Jammie Foxx made another ignorant and outlandish comment when he stated,”President Obama “Our lord and savior.”

Pumpkin carving with fire arms … this is just too good. Reminds me of of target shooting getting my hand gun conceal carry permit and making smiley faces.

Sorry, I had to add the following one as well.

Mitt Romney Steals the Show at Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner … “president’s remarks tonight are brought to you but the letter ‘O’ and the number $16 trillion”

Last night we witnessed the lighter side of politics as Mitt Romney and Barack Obama appeared at the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation dinner … in the end, Romney NAILED IT!!! Guess what America, Romney is not a stiff, wooden robot. He is actually funny and real. 

America witnessed yet another Romney myth go by the wayside. Romney stiff, not funny, can’t relate to Americans or make fun of himself? HARDLY. Watch the VIDEO below as Romney owned the room and actually beat Obama at his own game … telling jokes and yucking it up. Romney was on his game and Obama, well, many of Barack’s lines  and jokes fell flat.

Mitt Romney … Guess what America, Mitt’s funny!

As the Washington Examiner writes … Romney was surprisingly hilarious. Surprisingly? No, not really … maybe only surprisingly because the MSM and Obama attack ads have tried to pain Romney something he is not. By night’s end and when American voters see the clips of the Alfred E. Smith dinner, voters will realize that Mitt just might be more likable than they were told.

Check out some of the more funny jokes from Mitt Romney as he did a tremendous job and showed American voters he is hardly stiff.

[Mitt able to make fun of himself and his wife Anne] Now Al, you were right, a campaign can require a lot of wardrobe changes. We — blue jeans in the morning perhaps, suits for a lunch fundraiser, sport coat for dinner, but it’s nice to finally relax and to wear what Ann and I wear around the house.
(LAUGHTER)

Let’s just say that some in the media have a certain way of — of looking at things. When suddenly I — I pulled ahead in some of the major polls, what was the headline? “Polls Show Obama Leading from Behind.”

…as President Obama surveys the Waldorf banquet room with everyone in white tie and refinery, you have to wonder what he’s thinking. So little time, so much to redistribute.
(LAUGHTER)

Second, find the biggest available straw man and then just mercilessly attack it.

Big Bird didn’t even see it coming.

And by the way in — in the spirit of Sesame Street, the president’s remarks tonight are brought to you but the letter ‘O’ and the number $16 trillion.
(LAUGHTER)

…now I never suggest that the — that the press is biased. I recognize that they have their job to do, and I have my job to do. My job is to lay out a positive vision for the future of the country, and their job is to make sure no one else finds out about it.
(LAUGHTER)

Barack Obama had some good lines but many fell flat and his timing and delivery was off. Maybe in the back of his mind he was thinking about that Gallup poll that had him trailing Romney by 7? However, as Newsbusters opines, one of his funnier moments was his making fun of Chris Matthews … “Four years ago, I gave him a thrill up his leg. This time around I gave him a stroke.”

Lib Comedian Bill Maher Rips Obama on Debate Performance: “He Sucked … He Looks Like he Took My Millions and Spent it on Weed”

Hmm, wonder how Maher feels about his return on investment of his $1 million Obama donation?

WHEN LIBS ATTACK ... Uber-Lib and comedian Bill Maher ripped President Barack Obama during his opening monologue on HBO’s ‘Real Time’ on Obama’s less than lackluster debate performance. Maher was on a roll and it must have pained hi, especially since he had forked over $1 million to the Obama campaign and got a sleep walking president in return. As Maher stated, “He looked tired. He had trouble getting his answers out. It looked like he took my million and spent it all on weed.” Maher also went on to contrast the two candidates,  as Romney looking “charged up” and Obama was looking like Michael Jackson on diprivan. YIKES!

Maher Rips Obama and of course the obligatory shots at Romney (warning: language)

From Mediaite:

During his opening monologue tonight, Bill Maher admitted he was not happy with how President Obama did during his first big debate this week. He told his audience that Obama undeniably “sucked” during the debate, and surmised that the million dollars he gave to the campaign was probably spent on weed.

Maher surmised that because Wednesday was Obama’s anniversary, “he apparently had the sex first and was completely spent” for the debate. He contrasted Romney looking “charged up” with Obama looking like Michael Jackson on diprivan. Maher admitted that Obama “sucked” during the debate, and made a joke referencing the money he gave to the pro-Obama Super PAC.

I’ll give Maher credit … he certainly went after Obama for his inept debate performance. As the Pirate Cove opines, its only a matter of time before his words are branded as racist.

Yikes, VP Joe Biden Cozies Up to Voters, Um, Get’s Lap Dance on the Campaign Trail in Seaman, OH … Caption Contest, Biden Perv Edition

WOW, talk about a picture writing the story. This might have to be a caption contest, the heck with a post.

Here is a visual I am trying to get out of my mind, I am guessing that Obama’s VP Joe Biden was never told about boundaries and not getting in anothers space. Biden cozies up to voters at a campaign stop at Cruisers Diner on Sunday.Um, how inappropriate is this? I mean really, is he getting a lap dance or making promises to get votes? Check out the dude on the left, if looks could kill. As Right Scoop says, these guys will do anything for a vote. Anything but what is good for America, that is.

CAPTION CONTEST – BIDEN PERV EDITION

Carolyn Kaster / AP – Vice President Joe Biden talks to customers during a stop at Cruisers Diner, Sept. 9, in Seaman, Ohio

Have at it. What are the chances that the Secret Service would not step in if Biden got his A$$ kicked by these two bikers? Ok, Biden is officially the pervy uncle invited to the holiday dinner that no one wants to go near or has to sit next to. Can’t you picture Joe Biden have a G-8 summit and having world leaders sit in his lap? And this dude is a heart beat away from the Presidency. Let me just say, the Democrats and MSM had a lot of nerve questioning Sarah Palin’s ability to by VP in 2008.

A White House pool report says the bikers may be part of a group called the “Shaddowmen.” No details were available on their real names or what discussion led to the lap incident

They have a Caption contest going on over at the Jawa Report as well.

Some that come to mind to get things started …

• You think Obama has a “big stick” babe.
• Hey toots, Hillary Clinton is as qualified or more qualified than I am …
• This doesn’t look like any 7-Eleven or a Dunkin’ Donuts in Delaware.

Hooters Welcomes Joe Biden to Tampa … “Hey Joe Welcome to North Carolina”

Where’s Joe?

Even after Vice President Joe Biden canceled plans to come to Tampa, FL due to Hurricane Isaac, his reputation or should I say gaffe precedes his. The Hooters in nearby Clearwater welcomed Biden to Tampa … “Hey Joe Welcome to North Carolina”. How amazing is it that the United States of America has a walking talking joke at VP. Then again, the President is not much better.

So did Biden really ditch plans to come to Tampa, FL or did Obama have send him off to Montana and tell him it was Tampa? As if Biden would know, I think Biden believes he is always in North Carolina. There is no way that Obama was going to allow the gafffe-prone Biden alone in Tampa to get himself into trouble and put his foot in his mouth yet again. One has to wonder whether they are going to let Biden speak at the DNC or maybe they will just lip-sync the speech. Come on Joe, come on down to Tampa, the storm has passed and the weather is fine.

DANCING IN THE SHEETS” New tell All Book Reveals Mick Jagger – David Bowie Affair … They ‘were really sexually obsessed with each other’

DANCING IN THE SHEETS … It sounds like a mix between ‘Start Me Up’ and ‘Rebel, Rebel’  all ‘Under Cover of the Night’. Christopher Anderson is back at it with a salacious book with many tid-bits that we have heard about for years between Mick and Ziggy Stardust. Excerpts from the book can he read HERE. Sorry, but these stories, rumors, accounts are so old and have been bantered about so much, does it really matter? At this point I am more upset that the Rolling Stones charge as much for a ticket for less than stellar music. Thankfully, I have seen both of these guys sing in their prime because if you hear them now in concert, you won’t get no satisfaction.

Before Bowie & Jagger Were Dancing in the Streets, sounds like they were in the sheets as well

MICK JAGGER and David Bowie fascinated each other, both as stars and as men. Jagger was just four years older than Bowie, and yet Bowie was now being hailed as the hot new star. Ziggy, in spandex and gold body paint, hugged Mick when Jagger paid him a backstage visit in the spring of 1973. When Bowie and his companion Scott were invited to a Stones concert a few months later, Mick not only paid for the couple’s hotel room but sent along roses and champagne with a note signed “Love, Mick.”

US Rep. Allen West (FL-R) Calls Nancy Pelosi ‘somewhat delusional’ … Sarah Palin Trumps Him With Pelosi is a ‘Dingbat’

SAN FRAN NAN SOMEWHAT DELUSIONAL OR A TOTALLY MOONBAT DINGBAT … YOU MAKE THE CALL

US Rep. Allen West (FL-R) voiced his opinion as to Democrat House Minority leader Nancy Pelosi’s response to the SCOTUS ruling that Obamacare. West called Pelosi “some what delusional” to her comment regarding Obamacare, “if it’s good for the country, basically, who cares how we got there?” This might be the first time I have disagree with Col. Allen West. Somewhat delusional sir? How about completely delusional? This coming from the individual when she was Speaker of the House, that “we need to pass the bill in order to find out what is in it.”    West also pointed out that the Obamacare was a deception on the American people from the outset. Once the healthcare bill was passed along a Democrat party vote in the House and Senate, we found out what was in the bill … IT WAS A TAX!!!

Check out the VIDEO here … Freshman Rep. West: Nancy Pelosi ‘somewhat delusional’ – The Hill’s Video.

Allen West, a freshman member of the Republican Study Committee, called former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) “somewhat delusional” Thursday evening during an interview on Fox News in response to a question from Fox’s Patti Ann Browne.

“You heard Nancy Pelosi saying, look, if it’s good for the country, basically, who cares how we got there?” Browne said. When asked for his response, West didn’t hold back.

“Well, I think that former Speaker Pelosi is somewhat delusional, but also you have to remember that this was the person that said that we have to pass this bill in order to find out what is in this bill,” West said from the Capitol Rotunda.

“There has been a deception against the American people from the onset … the president said that this was not a tax. Now we know it is only constitutional because it is seen as a tax.”

Sarah Palin: “Nancy Pelosi is a dingbat …”

“Nancy Pelosi is a dingbat and the perfect spokesman for Barack Obama and the entire  agenda of the far left.”

Video Hat Tip: The Gateway Pundit

However, “some what delusional” has been trumped by Sarah Palin calling Pelosi a Dingbat. Priceless. Palin gets an A+ for using an Archie Bunker, ‘All in the Family’ reference. This is why Sarah Palin resonates so well with those on the RIGHT and drives the LEFT up the wall and off the ledge. Is there a better word to describe Peloso’s and the Democrats vision? Sorry, but I am going to have to go retro and use “dingbat” rather than the current “moonbat” reference. OMG, next thing Palin will call Harry Reid a “meathead”. If that happens I know that I have died and gone to Heaven.  If I were elected President, I would make Sarah Palin my Press Secretary and have here drive the inside the Beltway, White House media insane. That would be must see TV … JMHO.
