"spouting leftist Hallmark cards cribbed from Democratic Underground counts as humor."

"...Yes, when you’re a leftist, spouting leftist Hallmark cards cribbed from Democratic Underground counts as humor.

But at least Colbert said all this to Bush’s face. It took a peculiar kind of guts, but it took guts. It wasn’t truly “speaking truth to power” - after all, Bush wasn’t going to send Colbert to the gulag or force him into re-education camp. But by the watered-down definition of the media, it counted.

Wanda Sykes, by contrast, is the most gutless and feckless performer ever to grace the White House Correspondents Dinner.

Sykes, for those who haven’t seen her stellar work in gems like CondomNation, Brother Bear 2, and Over the Hedge, is a militant lesbian with a grating voice and an obnoxious strut. She recently proclaimed during the California Prop. 8 debate that “Everybody that knows me personally, they know I’m gay … Now, I gotta get in their face. I’m proud to be a woman. I’m proud to be a black woman, and I’m proud to be gay.”

Well, apparently she’s not so proud to be gay. Because when given the opportunity to make jokes about the nation’s leading proponent of opposite-sex marriage, President Barack Obama, she said precisely nothing. Instead, she chose to gently stroke his ego with jokes about his pecs, his dog, and his basketball skills....

1. Infamy!
Seriesle, it's so amusing to see them get their panties in a wad over a comedienne's skit. They obviously are lacking a humor gene.

6. Sykes would say what she said right to Limbaugh's face
And if Shapiro doesn't think that, then he's even stupider than I think he is, and that's saying something.

By the way, the only reason Bush didn't sent Colbert off to the gulag or force him into a re-education camp is because Bush didn't understand that he was getting knifed repeatedly, the performance was such a verbal stiletto.

Last thing, Mr. Shapiro: crib any of my stuff from Democratic Underground, and you'd better pay me a fucking royalty, jerkwad.

12. Sykes really Psyched out the 'pubs, didn't she?
Anytime they're all riled up over something means someone did something right.

13. Ben Shapiro - failure as a lawyer, now getting wingnut welfare from Andrew Breitbart
The Sadly, No! blog has many posts about this failed lawyer and blogger, now trying to review TV for the RW 'Big Hollywood' site, for instance :

Things aren’t going so well for America’s Worst Lawyer who is on a downward spiral that led from Harvard Law School to about 8.2 seconds as an associate at a large L.A. law firm to solo practice as Benjamin Shapiro Legal Consulting with no clients and no website. That perhaps explains why Ben is trying out for the position of America’s Worst TV Critic™ over at Big Andy’s Big Hollywood Big Website. Since all good wingnuts must filter everything through the prism of wingnuttery, Ben is sharing his thoughts as to who is the most conservative character on Lost, an exercise somewhat comparable to attempting to determine what is the most conservative fixture in his bathroom.

Ben gives the nod to Sawyer who is not only the best conservative character on Lost but also the best conservative TV character EVAH:

Josh Holloway’s Southern con man, James “Sawyer” Ford, is the best conservative character on television, bar none. Sure he sleeps around – what con man worth his salt doesn’t? But he votes Republican – in Episode 16 of Season 1, Outlaws, Sawyer admits that he has never voted Democrat. He’s a proud gun-toter, carrying rifles and pistols with equal authority. He’s a true capitalist, buying and selling like Warren Buffet at a flea market. And he hates communism. When one female character suggests that everyone share a cache of food, Sawyer sneers, “Oh sure, Moonbeam, and then maybe we can all do Trust Falls and sing Kumbaiya.” Sawyer is the first to engage in racial profiling – he labels fellow crash survivor Sayid a terror suspect in Episode 1, Season 1 … And boy is he tough. In Season 2, he rips a bullet out of his shoulder with his bare hands. Ask Al Franken to do that.


In other words, the best conservative on television is a racist, selfish, lying con man and thief who can’t keep his dick in his pants. Wingnuts do occasionally speak the truth, even if only by accident.

15. They have two buttons to activate their brains. Dead stop and rage.

It's getting so your a total failure as a comedian if you don't outrage the Right. And it's so easy too. Just show up and they're outraged even before you start your routine.
