The Obamanation

Well, that was a poor attempt at humor on my part - you really can't have a one-man pile now can you?

I wouldn't think so but I am sure someone here will debate that with you.

CBS Sports golf analyst David Feherty apologized Sunday to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid for a morbid joke that went bad in a Dallas magazine.

"Despite how the conflict has been portrayed by our glorious media, if you gave any U.S. soldier a gun with two bullets in it, and he found himself in an elevator with Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and Osama bin Laden, there's a good chance that Nancy Pelosi would get shot twice, and Harry Reid and bin Laden would be strangled to death."

Feherty, a former Ryder Cup player who grew up in Northern Ireland, has gone to Iraq over Thanksgiving the past two years to visit with U.S. troops, and he created a foundation to help wounded soldiers.

Not funny: Barack Obama laughs at Wanda Sykes "joke" about wanting Rush Limbaugh dead

What was Wanda Sykes thinking? Perhaps more to the point, what was President Barack Obama thinking when he laughed and smiled as the comedienne wished Rush Limbaugh dead?

Although the Left is reporting her White House Correspondents' Dinner speech as "taking shots" at Limbaugh and mocking everyone, that's a gross misrepresentation of what turned into a hateful and disgusting diatribe.

Saying she wished him dead is a serious stretch, but hey if thats all they got to go with... I wish them luck.

Death of Limbaugh could only be good for Republicans. The party could then stop infighting - have leadership - stop self-destructing as extremists such as Limbaugh drive smarter (moderate) Republicans from the party.

Some need Limbaugh to lead a charge forward into political destruction. This Republican Party self-destruction means more harm to America.

So it's OK for people on the right to wish Ted Kennedy dead, but it isn't OK for a comedian to wish Rush Limbaugh dead? Ok, got it.

Cite some examples of that sugar.

It was back when he had that brain tumor over a year ago. I refuse to go look for something that was that long ago. All I can say is, I was a member of another board at the time, full of rightwing jerks, and most of them wished him dead, as did a few pundits on the right as well (publicly).

FTR - I get my last word as well...
You made a claim and then when pressed offered some bloggers on another board that you used to visit that has no archive or history from all of a year ago which therefore can't be verified. OK. That I'll believe, Thats my take on it.

It's OK...the universe balances out: Cheney singing Limbaugh's praises to Bob Schieffer (who couldn't contain a grin) as the evil forces continue to blow each other.

Wanda Sykes is a comedienne: she also ripped on Michelle "look at you pattin' the queen on the back like you just slid into home."

I don't think poor Mr Limbaugh really gives a shit, and if he does he can just pop another oxy.

And a dead Limbaugh isn't such a bothersome thought. So sue me.

If these guys were white the press would have hung them.

Justice Department political appointees overruled career lawyers and ended a civil complaint accusing three members of the New Black Panther Party for Self-Defense of wielding a nightstick and intimidating voters at a Philadelphia polling place last Election Day, according to documents and interviews.

The incident - which gained national attention when it was captured on videotape and distributed on YouTube - had prompted the government to sue the men, saying they violated the 1965 Voting Rights Act by scaring would-be voters with the weapon, racial slurs and military-style uniforms.

Career lawyers pursued the case for months, including obtaining an affidavit from a prominent 1960s civil rights activist who witnessed the confrontation and described it as "the most blatant form of voter intimidation" that he had seen, even during the voting rights crisis in Mississippi a half-century ago.
