Obama & Biden: So Long to Ya, 2010 from JibJab

JibJab does their 2010 year in review complete with Obama and Biden muppets. Honestly, knowing how funny the folks from JibJab are, they could have done much, much better. With all the screw ups, failure to live up to campaign promises and spending this country into oblivion with near 10% unemployment … there could have been much, much more. What no reference to endless golfing? 

Hmm, this year end in review kinda lame compared to the 2009 one. JibJab’s best effort still is ‘This Land’, all other pale in comparison.

Legendary Pink Panther, Comedy & Film Director Blake Edwards Dead at Age 88

Talk about the loss of one of the best writer/directors of comedies ever. An SOB, Cool Cat and 10 rolled all up into one …

Julie Andrews & Blake Edwards, 1973
Rest in Peace Blake Edwards: 1922 – 2010

Blake Edwards, the legendary Hollywood comedy director has passed away at age 88 from complications of pneumonia  at a hospital in Santa Monica, California with his wife and children at his bedside. Aside from his acclaimed directing, Blake Edwards might best be known for his 40 year marriage with Academy Award winning  English actress Julie Andrews. Oh how I have laughed at this man’s films over the years, they still crack me up like I just heard them for the first time … REST IN PEACE

Hear Blake Edwards discuss how he met Julie Andrews

Hat Tip: AOL News

Edwards not only directed comedy classic like The Pink Panther series, he also directed such classic films ‘Like Breakfast at Tiffany’s’ and ‘Days of Wine and Roses’. Who could also forget the movie that put Bo Derek on the map and changed how we all rated woman, “10″, as well as other over the top moview like ‘SOB’ and ‘Victor/Victoria’.

His publicist, Gene Schwam, said the cause was complications of pneumonia. Mr. Edwards’s wife, the actress Julie Andrews, and other family members were at his side at St. John’s Health Center, Mr. Schwam said.

What the critic Pauline Kael once described as Mr. Edwards’s “love of free-for-all lunacy” was flaunted in good movies and bad ones …

Blake Edwards was born William Blake Crump on July 26, 1922, in Tulsa, Okla. He became Blake McEdwards when he was 4, after his mother, Lilian, had married Jack McEdwards, an assistant director and movie production manager. Having joined the Coast Guard after high school, Mr. Edwards was seriously injured when, after a night of alcohol-fueled partying, he drunkenly dived into a shallow swimming pool. He spent five months in traction at the Long Beach Naval Hospital.

From the UK Telegraph:

When he was three years old Blake’s family moved to California, and he was brought up in Los Angeles and educated at Beverly Hills High School. While there he worked as a child actor, appearing in numerous B-pictures, but claimed that he “never wanted to act seriously enough to make a career of it”. He left school in 1940 and continued to accept small roles — often as a soldier — in films such as Ten Gentlemen from West Point (1942), Marine Raiders (1944) and A Wing and a Prayer (1944).

During the war he served in the US Coast Guard and was badly injured in a diving accident. After a lengthy recuperation he decided to try to re-enter the film industry, writing a low-budget Western with his friend John Champion and approaching Monogram for backing. When the company turned down the project, Edwards and Champion raised the money themselves, making their debuts as producers with Panhandle in 1948.

D-Lister Kathy Griffin Gets Booed By US Troops After Calling Bristol Palin Fat

As reported at Mediaite, not so funny comedian Kathy Griffin was booed by US troops when she called Britol Palin fat while hosting ’VH1 Divas Salute the Troops’. Not only did the “D-List” comedian bomb with her Bristol Palin material with the troops, she went even further and egged the military audience on to boo her even more. How many times must I say this when it comes to humor … hate is not humor, nor is it funny.

One must ask a question as to how you could have a Leftist-hating fool host an event for the troops. UNREAL. It’s not like Griffin does not have a history with going after Bristol Palin’s mom.  Who knew that SPDS, Sarah Palin Derangement Syndrome, would spin off a new disease with the LEFT of BPDS.

Comedian and self-proclaimed “D-lister” Kathy Griffin hosted VH1 Divas Salute the Troops which was taped for an audience of servicemen at the Marine Corps Air Station in Miramar, California, and aired last night. The ribald and unconventional comedian set the tone for the night when she joked about Bristol Palin and her supposed weight gain while competing with Dancing With The Stars. But the joke fell flat, as the military men and woman in attendance lustily booed the host for taking a shot at Sarah Palin’s daughter.

Watch the VIDEO at Michelle Malkin.com where she makes a great comparison and asks a great question when it comes to entertaining our military troops … How far USO “entertainment” has fallen. Agreed, where are the Bob Hope’s these days?

Bristol Palin Responds to Kathy Griffin’s ‘Fat’ Attack.

But Palin, 20, isn’t letting 50-year-old Griffin’s digs bring her down.

“The audience’s reaction to this ‘comedian’ spoke volumes, and the decent people I know would probably have booed her, too,” Palin told Pop Tarts in an exclusive statement. “I hope people didn’t have to pay money to hear her negativity and criticisms.”

One really has to ask them self how Kathy Griffin, a  classless act, keeps getting hired.

PBS EDITS Tina Fay’s “Sarah Palin” Insults During Broadcast of the Kennedy Center’s Mark Twain Prize

PBS “air brushes” Tina Fay’s comemnts to distort the liberal image.

After the NPR debacle, PBS running scared and felt the need to edit Tina Fay’s so-called comedy routine slamming Sarah Palin that was supposed to be humor. So why did PBS edit out parts of Tina Fay’s rant?  We second the question posed at News Busters, what happened to Fay’s repulsive comments passed off as humor about rape kits, lesbians, and evolution jokes against conservative women?

Fey, this year’s recipient of the prize, caused a few ripples during her acceptance speech at the ceremony on Tuesday when she mock-praised “conservative women” like Sarah Palin, whom Fey has so memorably impersonated on “Saturday Night Live.”

Watch the full episode. See more Mark Twain Prize.

Hey Barack, Why so serious …

Every day these days is a scary one at the Obama White House; however, last night Michelle and Barack Obama handed out candy healthy apples, fruit and figs to the kids for Halloween. A funny thing happened on the way to the candy receiving line … a little boy dressed up with the “joker” face. Come on folks, go with it …

As the Gateway Pundit stated, too bad the boy did not where his “socialist” t-shirt. Enjoy your raisins and dried fruit. Hey Jim, you forgot to mention the the autographed copies of the Communist Manifesto and other child indoctrination material they were handing out as well this year. By the way what was the costume that Obama was wearing?

Check out the 1:50 mark of the video

Remember the 2007 SNL skit for Halloween  (go to the 4:10 mark of video)… Obama’s comments when asked that he dressed as himself, “well Hillary I have nothing to hide, I enjoy being myself …” Really? What a difference a first term makes.

On November 2nd, the treat will be for WE THE PEOPLE.
