    "The word I kept thinking was, "Ghetto". And I doubt I'm the only one." Call me crazy, but that sentence sounds a little racist to me. Wanda should kick his lily white ass!

    Poor Obama. You can see on his face that he's thinking "oh no, she's going to get me to laugh at something inappropriate" when the clip starts. Also note the big gulp of water after the start of the Rush-bashing.


    Fact: It's impossible not to laugh at Wanda Sykes. She's one of my favorites.

    Imagine if a comedian "joked" that Obama was a terrorist who was guilty of treason and should be tortured and allowed to die.


    Wasn't this more or lest the gist of Sarah Palin's campaign rallies?

    I can't think of a bigger waste of time than defending Limbaugh. He's a cartoon. Seriously.

    "Imagine if a comedian "joked" that Obama was a terrorist who was guilty of treason ... There would justifiably be an outcry." - Toby Harnden


    WTF?


    Right wing nut job "comedians" spent the entire presidential campaign referring to Barack as Hussein Obama, claiming he's a secret Muslim, that he's not even American, and that his wife is the angriest black woman in the world who hates all white people.


    Wanda Sykes makes one Rush Limbaugh joke at a roast, in response to a particularly nasty little piece of Uncle Rusty's usual drivel, Barack laughs at the joke, and HE'S THE FUCKING RACIST HATER?


    How awesome is it to be some jackass political pundit who is never held accountable for what he/she just said even 5 minutes ago? I want that job.

    The Daily Show did a clip one time of how many times Palin said terrorist when talking about O's friends.


    Now they're all aghast.

    I'm not offended by any of the jokes. I'm just offended at how you and Chuck Shumer keep referring to my people as "chattering classes."


    Shumer: "And let me say this to all of the chattering class that so much focuses on those little, tiny, yes, porky amendments..."


    Cajun Boy: "Not even close. But just wait until tomorrow when the chattering classes get back into full swing."


    I agree that conservative pundits will be all worked up about this and shouldn't be because they are jokes. However, I'm not ready to annoint the liberals of the country to be the supreme arbiters about what we are allowed to be sensitive. I've seen plenty of feigned outrage coming from that side of the aisle over the years.

    @ChillbearLatrigue: I think the phrase "chattering classes" refers to pundits perceived to be on both sides of the political divide. Because while one side or another may take the role of for or against any particular issue or event, both sides are happy to do their professional arguing to fill up the yawning maw that is the 24-hour "news" cycle.


    And thus the inane Kabuki that is our political discourse continues in its quest to distract us all from the truth of our society, which is that a few hundred people have us all jacked to the gills.
