That's pretty apt, WB. A lot of that sounded like B-ball smack talk. Loved it. Especially the dig about Limbaugh as distressed asset.
What was really funny was Syke's "I hope his kidneys fail" about Rush that the CiC laughed at. That was a hoot. Oh, and Feherty's comment about Reid and Pelosi, not so much...I predict Olbermann will name Syke's worst person in the world, just like he did with Feherty. :o
Here's a take:

Gweed, Gweed, Gweed.
While I think the comments were a bit over-the-line, Sykes is recognized as a comedienne. Feherty? Not so much. He needs to stick to golf.

How do we know Limbaugh isn't already dead? He's been talking like a zombie for months.

Given the choice between The Country failing and Rush Limbaugh's kidneys I vote for Limbaugh's kindeys every time.

the country is already failing (economically). Can we get an exchange?
This is now the official "I want to have sex with Obama" thread. I will keep it in mind next time a high profile dem dies and I get ripped for downplaying it. Ted Kennedy, please pick up the white courtesy phone.

Wait Rush Limbaugh died of kidney failure?
That joke was totally not funny and way over the line.
Well apparently Mr. Knee-Slapping President's press secretary is backing away from Sykes:

He's right, 9/11 is a freakin hillarious subject.

So everybody on one side is the "I want to have sex with Obama" thread. That makes you the "I want to have sex with Rush Limbaugh" poster.

Not really, I cannot stomach Rush and don't listen to his show at all. I'm a Boortz/John Gibson listener.

Correction. You're in the "I want to have sex with Neal Boortz or John Gibson" crowd.
Whatever floats your boat.

Boortz spooner
I was watching Morning Joe today and do agree that Ms Sykes did go over the line. 9/11 is just not something to use as joke material. But why did the White House have to apologize, the dinner was sponsored by the correspondents organization not the White House. Even Pat Buchanan agreed that the President did a great job with his speech and that Sykes was over the line on her Limbaugh lines and I agree. Sykes is known to be an edgy comic, if they do not want edgy humor then they need to invite Jackie Mason or that comic that is on with Bill O'Reilly a lot.

Because all I do is fawn over Boortz and Gibson every day, providing them cover whenever a mean ol' lib goes after them. :D
I also listen to Laura Ingraham and Kim Kommando. That's spooning I can believe in.

It all depends on the execution. It's risky, but I think Lenny Bruce and dozens of his successors (Sarah Silverman comes to mind) proved that comedy and satire have no boundaries.

I have not yet. But I sure as sh*t cut back to avoid giving more money to the have nots.
I understand the media has to get hyped up about this event every year (it's a media event by definition), but why are we still talking about this?

You might want to re-read what the comment was. Because it sounds like he wants the natural version that has her actually showing skin.
