White House Correspondents' Association Dinner Thread

For the record:

 

I'll give Limbaugh credit for not mentioning the WHCA - smart thing there. Saying nothing is what Sykes comments merit. Makes him look like the bigger person. Of course, Hannity took up for Rush today, but that guy is a tool.

 

That's an interesting position to take, given that the unrestrained market policies that Bush permitted ran the financial system into disaster. If you didn't expect the pendulum to swing back the other way, Tony, you've got to be kidding. Again, I'm no lefty, but I'm pragmatic enough to understand the inevitable backlash to what just occurred. You can hope for the best in this environment and try to make sure it doesn't go too far -- as the lack of restraint went too far in the previous eight years -- or you can sit there and root for failure. Frankly, when Limbaugh says he wants the country to fail, he's saying he wants ME to fail. The hell with him.

 

Rush Limbaugh playing the victim card? I just don't see it.

 

I honestly don't think this is true -- I think you are demonizing Rush based on a caricature -- but whatever. I mean, you seriously think he's *rooting* for a Depression? Give me a break. Nobody is *rooting* for a Depression.

But whatever.

I've said my piece on the subject, and this isn't the politics board. So, that's that.

 

He was just waiting to spring this on us.
The black president is wrecking the joint so he can give money to shiftless ni...well, black people.

Oh, lordy. The coloreds are going to rise up, steal our silver and defile our women!

How very 1800s of Rush.

 

I don't even want to click on that link. Ugh.

 

The sheriff is near.

 

"Think forced reparations here if you want to understand what actually is going on."

Wow.

Obama's super-villain-like internal dialogue:
"Mwa-ha-ha! Maybe those white devils in Congress would never approve of a reparations bill, but just watch- I'll destroy the economy! The resulting unemployment levels will result in big government checks to all black people! Scoreboard!"

The reparations psuedo-issue is a permanent BOOGITY-BOOGITY! talking point among the tinfoil-hat crew. My idiot relatives frequently send me chain emails warning me that a reparations bill is imminent and that billions of tax dollars will soon be handed out to every black person in the United States.

 

And remember. . .

It's May. Of his first year. Of his first term.
