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.

61. Sorry, Sykes was a bomb. Colbert was a hard act to follow, but she didn't really try. To her benefit, Bush was a lot easier to tear apart.

62. Our prez is the s**t!! Don't hate TMZ; it was hilarious and everyone had a good time; it was all in fun! No one would have anything negative to say if this event were Republicans. Then again, tight a** Bush would have never done something like this in the first place!!!

63. Wanda Sykes hopes Rush Limbaugh's kidneys fail. Hate breeds hate. She's right up there with Perez Hilton.

64. Hey Twirp, President Obama did not ask for a brand name dijon mustard, he simply as for spicy mustard or dijon. YOU said he asked for Grey Poupon. YOU said it. Not President Obama. And by the way, since you yourself have Grey Poupon in the refrigerator, you must think you are quite the FOODIE, the very thing you attack President Obama for. You bet I'm intolerant of ridiculous positions such as yours. Eight years will do that to a person. Read your posts. You are ridiculous.

65. Hoping Rush Limbaugh's kidneys fail. More hate speech, Wanda. You're no better than Perez Hilton, the most mean-spirited, hateful person on the planet.

67. SICKOFIT, my sympathies if you are indeed a Vet, however, Mrs. Obama did nothing wrong. She exercises. Is she to be attacked for that? It makes no sense. Others comment on it, so what? And I have a dearly loved Father-in-law that fought in WWII. I know more about VA benefits than I ever expected to and President Obama has been completely supportive. He did not start this war. Perhaps, if you are in the situation you say you are in, no one will ever say anything that will make up for your loss, so there is no point to discussing it. There is no way to know since anyone can say or claim anything on these boards.

68. More spiteful lazy gutter humor and old tired sniveling in a can, wow thanks TMZ for bringing us something different from the democrates, havent heard those joke topics enough yawn...

69. its amazing how many people come on these posts and try to voice their "political opinion" when in actual fact they do not have a CLUE about politics and only have their informative opinions which no one really cares about anyway. I bet you didnt even vote, and as for the racial comments, get a grip and grow up.

70. A "foodie" for having dijon mustard in the fridge? What, did you actually believe those commercials with the old guy in the back of the Rolls? Uh, that was advertising.

71. Anon..I just realized who you are.....Kiki using another name.Now I know why the stupid reasoning. One more time, you said he did not ask for any special mustard in the restaurant, he only asked for dijon mustard with horseradish. I asked how many people go to a burger joint and ask for that? He eats $100 a pound Wagu beef at the White House....$100 a pound!!! He is asking everyone but himself to sacrifice. Read some of his menus. It has also been reported on that he considers himself and Michelle foodies. They go to alot of expensive restaurants. It was also reported that he always lived above his means and Rezco helped him get his Chicago house. Look it up, its in print and not on Fox News. So remember this when he asks you to sacrifice some more and he taxes us to death and wants more. He is eating good in HIS neighborhood. Now piss off.....

72. Wanda Sykes 'rocks' and all of her jokes were the 'truth' wrapped up in comedy!

73. I can't help but shake my head when someone "states" we the democrates have to clean up the mess made by the republicans. This is a country run by congress. The men and women voted in by us to represent each state. The congress is made up of both dems and republicans this country was not run into the ground by President Bush, who happens to have more class than your precious Obama, this country was poorly run by both parties read a book! Don't look to the liberal media who no longer understands the word unbiased journalism. You people treat him like he's a celebrity and not the President of the United States. It makes me sick. Liberals are SO closed minded!

74. Watched the whole thing on C-Span. Favorite Wanda moment was when she went after that big stupid idiot Rush. Favorite Obama joke?? "Dick Cheney's new autobiography will be called 'How to Shoot Friends and Interrogate People.'"
And twirp - so what if Obama is a foodie - he earned his money himself, wasn't given to him by his daddy, like Bush. He has every right to appreciate what he has. Michelle also worked, Laura didn't - just lived off the Bush millions. I guess George and Laura were eating beans and weenies everynight?? No, we don't know what they ate because liberals DIDN'T CARE!! Why do neo cons have to pick at every little thing!! I guess it's all they've got. OMG I hear they use the EXPENSIVE deodorant - time to impeach!!
You are SO lame.

75. Hey Twirp, (if ever a name were more accurate) Dijon mustard HAS HORSERADISH in it. Look at the bottle in your refrigerator. And get a clue. President Obama just asked for spicy mustard, which has got to be the dumbest talking point the right has EVER come up with. Clearly you spend a lot of time looking at President Obama's eating habits. Never mind that he just paid off his student loans by the selling of the books he wrote himself. No ghostwriter as those you most likely adore use. You have a lot of people on the right living VERY WELL. And they didn't want to pay taxes on it so they reduced the tax rates at the peril of this country. Now, little can be done with the mess other than for us to slowly work through it. That you can ignore what has happened the past eight years and try to blame the economy on President Obama by way of his mustard preference is a complete joke. As are you.
