Wanda was ... good. Funniest joke was about Vice President Joe Biden. Seemed a little too friendly.
Obama was good too, but it all just seemed a little too sycophantic.

16. When oh when is TMZ going to learn how to spell?! And when oh when is the LEFT going to MOVE ON!!! Get over it you stupid insipid leftist morons. The country is so very tired of the bashing of bush. It's over done and gone. Can you not get with the year 2009?!!!! It's showing how incredibly tiny your leftist brains really are...

17. It's "sycophantic" not "sicophantic," you douchebags. Too cool to spellcheck?

19. You don't book Wanda Sykes without knowing what your are getting. She was HYSTERICAL. Comedians will be making jokes about Bush & Co. for years to come because we'll be stuck with his mess FOR YEARS TO COME.

ALso, writers target Adults 18-48 with about 99% of all their material. Most instances even younger. Before you go crazy on her (Pat Buchanan) remember how old you are and the fact that you have not been targeted by comedy programmers or advertisers for about thirty years.

Republicans act like if they say it is so (FOX), then that is how it happened. Wanda called a lot of people out on their crap last night. That Palin kid did not come from not having sex. Rush is a drug addict.

I think a lot of people are lucky because she could have been a hell of a lot worse. She was perfect, given the event.

20. TMZ's staff should never criticize anyone due to the many grammatical mistakes their writers make. Kuddos to Samuel Jackson when he told one of TMZ reporters (rolling eyes upward - snicker, snicker) to get a real job. He even stated that TMZ was not paying them much money to stand around and harass people and that their job offers no future. Obviously, Sam was right. Apparently, TMZ grabs mariginal people to report and write for this site.

21. #18 It's sad how ignorant some in this country have become. i bet if someone asked you who the last four presidents and vice presidents were you'd have to look it up. NO, Wanda did not call anyone out on their crap. SHE was full of crap. She apparently knew nothing of what she spoke about. (for example, her Rush joke didn't work because she misquoted and took his statement out of context). For a political joke to work, it has to be based in reality. It has to be fresh. It doesn't call names or hit below the belt. Most importantly--to all those who think Wanda Sykes was just a scream last night--the whole point of the entertainment at the dinner is to poke fun at the CURRENT administration. Sure, take some jabs as the opposing party but save the best for who is in office NOW. If someone is so partisan that they can't do that, they shouldn't be hired in the first place. Liberal is the new close-minded.

22. "the room filled with celebs who really don't have anything to do with the event but were dying to be see"

Not on is this sentence gramatically incorrect, it implies that the star stubbed audience was out of the norm. The correspondent dinner dates by to the 1930 and has always been attended by high-profiled performers.

23. Did you really expect Wanda to go after Obama? She is black !!!! remember they cheered for OJ even though they knew he was guilty.. I knew before she stood up it was going to be a Bush/Republican bashing with crude,no class humour mixed in. Hey folks dont be shocked about it.. "you vote ghetto, you get ghetto."

24. The Republicans can and do take a joke better than the Democrats. The news media are afraid or in awe of the President. Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden are the only ones that are fair game. The media is SO far left that you can not get a fair story with few exceptions like Lou Dobbs on CNN and Greta Sustereen on FOX.

25. Wanda was pretty funny, as was the President.

I was glad she took a poke at that idiot, Limbaugh (although wishing illness on him was sinking to his bottom-feeder level), and I laughed when Obama called out Faux ("Some people say...") 'news'. He completely negated Hannity's whining about his use of teleprompters.

Now that Wanda will be starring in a show on Fox, Beck and O'Reilly and Hannity will have to be careful in how they attempt to trash her on Monday night.

27. #21 you add fuel to the liberal fire when you turn things racial. yes go after them but keep it nice. do not sink to their level. you just play into their hands when you do otherwise.

28. I was not offended at any of the jokes she did at ADULTS. I thought her attack on BRISTOL PALIN was horrible. The YOUNG single, mom, is not in politics. It appears she was pushed into being the face of an unwed teen mom against sexual activity for teens. Her deadbeat dumb baby father dumped her. She is up at night with her baby and still finished high school after the birth and is starting to college in a few weeks. She does not deserve to be made fun of at a political dinner party by Sykes. Due to that pot shot at a teen girl just because Sykes hates her mother's politics was unprofessional. I will never watch a show Sykes is in again and never go to one of her acts on the road. I delete her as entertainment as I will not support anyone who abuses children.

29. #23 you hit it exactly on the head... Liberals if you notice on any talk show or new program never debate, but get their laughs by being mean(Perez Hilton, Keith Olberman,John Stewart) everyone likes to talk about how Fox News is so biased, yet every night I see intelligent people from both sides of the issue having an educated debate.. Liberals forget about it,, its think our way or be run over. Wanda Sykes had as much business being up there last night as I did.. She was a mess and could only spew her anger, not tell jokes.

No we shouldn't forget about Bush and what he did. He and his ild committed acts that hurt this country deeply. If we don't hold them accountable then it will happen acgain the future. I seem to recall the right going after Clinton for lying
about a blow job yet torture and lying us into a war isn't that important to the tiny brained nitwits on the right.
