Daily Commentary – Friday, June 5th, 2009 – Will Farrell Funnies … Funniest Lines were on SNL

• Dana reads some of Will Farrell’s top movie lines. Interestingly enough there were none chosen from Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby or The Wedding Crashers, probably because they would bee too offensive.

Yet Another Gaffe … VP Biden Takes Swipe at President Obama with Teleprompter Comment at the Air Force Academy

As the teleprompter failed VP Joe Biden at the Air Force Academy graduation, the gaffe-prone VP gets in a nice dig against Barack Obama. It is well known and publicized that President Barack Obama has a dependence on his teleprompter. One so much that it might warrant a 12 step program with TA. However, I hardly think Obama appreciates his VP adding to the teleprompter jokes.  Hmm … notice Biden’s comment actually had a little bit of edginess to it?

Here is yet another gem from Joe Biden, they are coming fast and furious these days. What was the joke that Obama made at the White House Correspondence dinner about Biden sticking to the teleprompter?

Then, not content to leave without a jaunty ad lib, Biden noted that heavy winds were gusting through the ceremonies. One of his two teleprompters had toppled over. Alluding to the jokes of Obama’s reliance on the speech-facilitators, Biden added, “What I am going to tell the president when I tell him his teleprompter is broken. What will he do then.”

Barack Obama picked Biden because he thought he actually added something to the ticket? As the College Politico suggested, maybe Obama can replace Press Secretary Gibbs with Biden so we can hear this man speak on a daily basis.

Some how behind closed doors, I doubt where Obama is too amused with the Biden swipe. After all, we know they are just two average guys who hang togather sharing a burger.

White House Apologizes for White House Laughing at Wanda Sykes September 11 Humor at Correspondent’s Dinner

Isn’t this the type of behavior that Barack Obama wanted to change in Washington? All jokes aside, as some of the event was funny, there was a much deep seeded issue with this event.

The Wanda Sykes attempt at comedy is a much larger and far reaching one that just wishing that “Rush Limbaugh’s kidneys would fail.” It is a microcosm of all that presently is wrong with this administration. It was ok to sit back and laugh while jokes referencing September 11 were made. It was nothing more than a love-fest between the media and this president. More to the point, was not this event supposed to be a roast of the President? Are they afraid to make fun of him? Do they think the people might think that the joke may in fact be reality?

The LA Times is reporting that the White House did not see humor in the jokes that Wanda Sykes made at the President’s Correspondence Dinner over the weekend. Really? President Barack Obama appeared to be laughing at the jokes. Most everyone in the media present at this even also laughed at a joke pointed at the death of over 3000 Americans died.

 But to top it off, Sykes then tied Limbaugh to the tragedy and mass murders of 9/11.

“I think maybe Rush Limbaugh was the 20th hijacker. But he was so strung out on Oxycontin that he missed his flight … I hope his kidneys fail. How about that?”

Why did the media feel the need to ask a question how President Barack Obama felt when Wanda Sykes made the joke about Rush Limbaugh being the 20th hijacker? They could see for them self in the video about that he laughed.

The White House Apologies for President Obama Laughing at a 9–11 Joke. Why does the White House feel the need to apologize for the White House? Were they not at the event to provide the proper reaction there?

Daily Commentary – Friday, May 12th, 2009 – Wanda Sykes and Rush Limbaugh

• Wanda Sykes said in a comedy routine that she wishes Rush Limbaugh’s kidneys would fail, but who cares?

Obama & Wanda Sykes at the White House Correspondents Dinner … “Most of you covered me. All of you voted for me.” … “Rush Limbaugh, I Hope His Kidneys Fail”

As we always say … comedy is supposed to be funny, not mean. Last nights White House Correspondence Dinner except for a couple of jokes was lame.

Here is another piece of advice for President Obama, humor has to have a bit of truth in it. There is a reason why you here more laughter, even from the media suck ups present, when Obama made jokes referencing that he was named Auto Industries Executive of the Year and that in his next 100 days Obama will learn to go off the prompter, while Joe Biden will learn to stay on the teleprompter.

What a shock though, a love affair between President Barack Obama and the main stream media at last nights White House Correspondence dinner. Can someone tell me why we even had this event with Barack Obama? I could not tell the difference between the White House Correspondence Dinner and a Presidential News Conference with Obama. In both cases the media gushes over every word he says and laughs at his lame jokes. As compared to so many Correspondence Dinners before, the tone and tenor of this event was actually mean. You can hear the nervous laughter from the media present. One must remember this is Obama’s greatest audience.

“Most of you covered me. All of you voted for me.”

 WOW, so many of his jokes fell so flat. (Part 1)

As the Gateway Pundit stated, Obama should have stuck to reading his teleprompter when it came to his jokes. Obama even had the audacity to make a joke about the “Scare Force One” incident proving that he still does not get what they did was so wrong. Obama joked that his children were not present because they were grounded. Obama said, “You can’t just take Air Force One on a joyride to Manhattan, I don’t care who’s kids you are.” Unreal that he would continue to make a joke about a colossal screw up that reminded so many NY’ers of September 11.

Obama’s Part 2 of White House Correspondence Dinner

Compare Obama’s comedic routine from last night to that from the White House Correspondence Dinner with George W. Bush from 2008. Folks, the media loves Obama and they could not stand GWB. Explain why there is more laughter with GWB’s jokes, let alone the demeanor of the event was so drastically different.

Does anyone think that wishing someone kidney failure is funny? How anyone thought this was appropriate for this event is beyond me. However this is the same Administration that thought flying a 747 at low altitude over Manhattan, NY followed by an air force fighter plane was a good idea. As Hot Air stated, “Class made an exit with the Bush Administration.”

Then there was MC Wanda Sykes, who speculated that Rush Limbaugh was actually the 20th hijacker on 9/11 but missed his flight because he was high on oxycontin and she derided Sean Hannity for not living up to his pledge to be waterboarded for the troops. Of course this was after she wished that Limbaugh’s kidneys would fail.
