Like I Was Saying...

That I correctly predicted this sort of wanking may not exactly make me psychic, but what the hell, I'll take it. Contemptible persons get treated with contempt! Good Lord! Anyway, look, it's funny because it's true: Rush Limbaugh is awful and everyone sane hates him because he's awful, and Dick Cheney is worse and thus even more widely despised.

But I did enjoy this part:

Pat Buchanan, who has his own history of offensive comments, likewise said on MSNBC that Sykes's jokes about Limbaugh will "hurt the dinner."

Omigod this comedy routine will sully the immense dignity of the White House Press Correspondents' Dinner, says the incredibly dignified... Pat Buchanan.

Right. Sorry, but that ship sailed quite while ago. Into Shit Lake. And bon frickin' voyage.

MORE. But this, from the Ass Toot Bloggers, is, uh, interesting, in the sense that all-caps stuff about race on the Internet is always intriguing:

HALF WHITE BULLY RACIALLY MOCKS REAL BLACK AFRICAN-AMERICAN WITH DEROGATORY RACIST STEREOTYPE

FROM HOT AIR & HA COMMENTERS:

Politico

“Michael Steele is in the house tonight. Or as he would say, ‘in the heezy.’”

COMMENTERS:

• Is a 1/2 white guy allowed to make fun of a authentic AA?

• What a crass borish man we have as our president.

• So much for bipartisanship and post racial debate.

• That was clearly racist. White man (he is as much white as he is black) making fun of the way a black man talks. Unbelievable what he gets away with.

BHO JR IS A JERK.

AND THE DOUBLE STANDARDS (LEFTIES CAN SAY ANYTHING) MAKE ME SICK.

OK then.
