Reply #77: Wanda's was one of the best routines I've heard ! Beautifully crafted and delivered ! [View All]

I was thrilled to hear and see Wanda doing her routine! I knew she had that kind of genius and was really delighted to see it unfold ! What a fine job. It will go into the set with Colbert as best appearances by comedians at WH Correspondents' Dinners.

I took some notes upon re-hearing, of special favorites, and look forward to reviewing on the You Tube.

Some highlights, paraphrases--

>>> After talking about what a nice guy he is, and how the media loves him, she goes on to say
But what's this about them catching you with your shirt off all the time? I mean I understand your administration is aiming for transparency, but really...

>>> After talking about this accessible administration and ribbing the president about that, she went on to discuss the trip to the burger joint with Biden. And intimated that the trip had been recommended by Hillary. -- touching on that Team of Rivals thing.

>>> Teasing Joe Biden for his gushy mouth, she then expressed concern about him ever being taken hostage. There would be no torture required. An official would be questioned-- did you waterboard him? No-- no torture required. I just said "Nice weather." and he hasn't stopped talking.

>>> Bush sure knows how to leave town. We haven't heard a word from him. He's kind of like the houseguest who breaks something in your house and wants to get away quickly before you find out.

>>> She decried those crazy governors who refused the stimulus money. I mean, come on! Who refuses money? Maybe you should get Oprah to give it away!

>>> Wanda was great on people not wanting to pay their taxes too. She played it right into the class warfare that it is. She said a lot of people didn't like paying their taxes. She didn't mind paying her fair share. But a lot of people don't like it. But then I see people dressing up and going to balls and giving lots of money in support of charities. They willingly take out their checkbooks and pay generous sums to support things they believe in. Well maybe we should have a Tax Ball. Maybe next April 15th, we should make it a gala ceremony. Let's all get dressed up and make it more fun.

>>> Wanda had a fabulous take on Michelle's Right to Bare Arms, too--
The country is broke ! Sleeves cost money !!

>>> Teased Michelle about meeting the Queen and giving her a pat on the back. And asked what was with the presents. Who decided to give her an iPod? (The President.) What is going to give the Pope, a Bluetooth? I mean, you really need to give the Queen something that really expresses America-- how about Texas?

>>> About McCain giving Obama grief on the helicopters. He's just jealous. He wants to be riding in those helicopters. But what's the big deal. If he asks nicely, his wife will buy him one.

>>> Loved the Hannity teasing, focused on his offer to be waterboarded for charity, and especially--
Heck, I know how to break Hannity-- just give him a middle seat in coach !

>>> Loved the very intense calling out of Limbaugh for his treasonous comment that he wanted America to fail. He wants our country to fail. In this time of crisis, with people losing their homes and businesses, this guy wants America to fail. Isn't that treason. There's another guy out there who wants our country to fail-- Osama din Laden. He wants America to fail too. Sometimes I wonder if Rush Limbaugh wasn't the 20th hijacker but he was too messed up on Oxycontin and missed the plane !

>>> And she closed with the puppy issue. As the last of the series of folks picking on our president. She said people were calling out to him to Get a Rescue Dog ! Get a Rescue Dog! -- But come on folks, President Obama has to rescue a country that had been abused by its previous owner, so please, would you let him start fresh with the dog?

>>>Just a taste, a sketch of an outstanding routine !! And very appropriate to the occasion !!
I knew she had that genius for political humor and am so glad to have seen it.
