But you think that is kinda classy!
Thanks for proving my original point.

Don't know if you are addressing the person who posted or everyone, so I'll butt in here.

Yes, you are right. Limbaugh never said "I hope America fails." But even the harshest critics of Bush never said "I hope we fail in Iraq" or "I hope we never find Bin Laden." When you say these exact words "I hope he fails" (which are quoted from the original transcript) about the President, you are saying that you hope after 4 years we're still losing our jobs, still have close to 50 million with no health insurance, still losing our houses and can't afford to feed our families, still fighting in Iraq & Afghanistan, and still concerned that the banks will fold and more factories will shut their doors. Otherwise, what could "I hope he fails" possibly mean when someone just enters the office of POTUS? This was said right after he was elected.

This might clear up why he said it

The fact that he is explaining that what he said is analogous to commenting on a football game shows he thinks it's all a big game. I guess when you make $50 million a year and live in a $25 million mansion it's often hard to think like the rest of us, which I totally understand.

I would be considered pretty liberal and I found Wanda offensive and way over the line.

Don't want to sound as if I'm switching sides, since I liked most of her routine, but I have to admit that, after hearing and reading everything she said, I think she did go a little too far. However, she's a comedian and not a politician and she has a reputation for being a little crude & very outspoken.

Does anyone know why she was chosen? No comparison to Craig Ferguson. Some recent jokes..........

[url]http://laughlines.blogs.nytimes.com/tag/craig-ferguson/[/url]

"President Obama may choose a Supreme Court nominee by the end of the week. That’s fast. Nothing against the President, but doesn’t it worry you that it took him 10 times longer to decide on a dog?"

"It’s a great day for America’s first family. The Obamas finally got their puppy. Apparently, it took a long time because Obama had to find a dog that’s paid all its back taxes."

"It’s a great day for our president, Barack Obama, who got to meet the Queen of England today. She very regally gave him a photograph of her, and he gave her an iPod! That’s quite an unusual gift from the President. Usually he gives out about $150 million."
