  1. It was funny when I watched last night and it is still funny when I watched today. She nailed it on so many issues.

  2. I really try to see both sides in many issues, but here; I cannot agree.

    What I heard during Wanda Sykes’ “bit” was nervous laughter.

    It is difficult for me to say that. I like Wanda Sykes. I remember first seeing her in the movie “Pootie Tang”, which, she was one of the only bright spots in that movie. (Other than the fact that you couldn’t understand what the hero was saying.)

    This stuff was really funny while republicans were in charge.

    However, there is a danger in “kicking a man when he is down.” Americans love the “mutt”. They love the underdog.

    Liberals won a majority and now won the presidency. They SHOULD be happy and looking to the future..!! (But they are not.)

    Democrats; “kicking” the party that they just defeated, seems: egotistical, childish, lame, and terribly sad.

    (However, I really, really hope that you folks keep doing it..!!)

    I want America to see the REAL: you.

    Which is exactly what Republicans did repeatedly to Clinton in the ’90s, and that first repelled me from continued membership with the GOP.

    Democrats have a long way to sink before they begin to even TOUCH the GOP’s lows.

    Egotistical? Childish? Lame? Terribly sad? You must have the democrats confused with the party that just left office in January.

  3. You don’t sound angry.

  4. Brilliant – and the best of all- we have a new name for Limbaugh – I hereby will only refer to him from now on as “the 20th Hijacker”.

  5. Give Texas to the Queen of England. What a great idea!

    Texas has already offered England a place in the state. Tony Blair is a stand uo guy. Maybe with you’re vast connections you can make it happen. I know, call the French. They will help Texas and Ohio. The sooner the better.

  6. LOVED IT!

    FLUSH, as the 20th terrorist, too whacked out on oxycontin and missed his plane!

    Dick, “they will welcome us with flowers”, Cheney missed because he was working on his book “How to Shoot Friends and Torture Terrorists”.

    I thought Wanda was great!! That was too funny!

  7. [...] shocked when he does his act skewering the high and mighty.  Now they’re up in arms about Wanda Sykes, particularly her jokes about Rush Limbaugh being the 20th [...]
