Predictably, Politico is serving as shit-stirer central, Obama laughs at OxyRush and kidney failure.

Obama laughs at Rush "Oxycontin" jab

Wanda Sykes isn't killing but she's getting some laughs -- and Obama was yukking it up until Sykes muttered the word "abstinence" and "Palin" in the same joke.

He was back laughing when Sykes slammed Rush -- and hard -- for the hoping-Obama-will fail stuff.

CSPAN was trained on the president when Sykes joked that Limbaugh was the "I think Rush Limbaugh was the 20th hijacker, but he was so strung out on Oxycontin he missed his flight."

Obama was chuckling -- while saying something to his dais mates -- and couldn't quite stop smiling even as he sipped some water.

She finished her Rush bit with: "l hope this country fails?" I hope his kidney fails!"

He chuckled at that one too.

rush gets no respect.

Since when does Obama owe any respect to that fat pile of crap.

In the last 6 months, Fatso has done nothing but smear and belittle the President every single day, over and over again, and in a time of war, when we have troops in the field. He has said that he wants the President to fail--which is kind of like saying that you want America to fail--and what Obama is supposed to just suck it all up and not laugh at a joke or two Limblopb's expense?

doesn't usually like jokes at others' expense..except, of course, last night:)

just not any color found in the natural world ??

I've missed this one somewhere...

He looks like a large Oompa Loompa.

before he delivered the punchline. Hilarious, and so spot on. Also thought Wanda's destruction of Rush was epic, the woulda been the 21st hijacker, but he was so strung out on Oxycotin that he missed the flight!! She was excellent, and her delivery was perfect.

cleared it up for me.

How very bizarre.

what is a poor comedian supposed to do? The joke just wrote itself!

It is about time those fake purity pushers got a ribbing !!

over with laughter after the way that shitbag rush has talked about him! I hate politico!

:rofl:

But i don't blame him one bit for not being able to help but laugh at the Rush jokes. He's only human.

Assholes.....

is given credibility, like The Daily Beast.

:spray:

It was funny, it deserved laughing at, and I swear if Gibbs is ordered to back away from it at the press briefing I'm gonna punch something.

she looked sheepishly at the president and asked softly, "Too much?" Then paused a moment and repeated his comment. Rush wants the country to fail? Well I want his kidneys to fail!

I hope the media outlets that are seizing upon Wanda's criticism of Limbaugh, instead of understanding her outrage at his hateful speech, continue to reveal themselves as the conservative megaphones they really are.

The conservatives are probably upset that their $33 million dollar man's past conviction for abusing prescription medications was publicized again.

So I hope they keep it up. We need the conservatives' lie that our media is liberal to be clearly seen by more of the public.

I wasn't going to watch the Sunday news chat shows because they are stacked with conservatives, but I wonder if they'll dare show Dick The Torturer some of the jokes about him last night.

I was probably too busy lmao.

Full of slime and right wing garbage.

I was watching last night (away from DU until now) trying to think of which joke Politico could possibly shit stir on, and not surprised that they reaaaaaach with one that could offend poor Rush-y.
