Multiple organ failure for my critics?
Daily Mail.co.uk
When Silvio Berlusconi made a light-hearted joke last year about the new president’s ‘suntan’ the Obama-besotted American press corps expressed outrage at what they tried to blow-up to be a racist remark from a right-wing politician.
Yet last Saturday night, when Obama made a joke about the skin colour of John Boehner, the Republican leader in the House of Representatives — the president said it was ‘not a colour that appears in the natural world’ — the journalists thought it was frightfully witty.
And when a performer called Wanda Sykes stood up at the dinner to do what was supposed to be a comedy turn, she attacked the Conservative radio broadcaster Rush Limbaugh, one of Obama’s most on-target critics. She said Limbaugh’s opinions were treason and that he was no better than Osama bin Laden. There were big grins from the president through all of this. Then Sykes said she wished Limbaugh’s kidneys would fail. The president laughed through it all.
Which only goes to show that Limbaugh’s observation on this administration is correct: they don’t want to debate, he says. They only want to destroy.
I should also mention something everyone at that dinner, including the president, would have known. Eight years ago Limbaugh suffered sudden hearing loss. Remember, this man makes his living on radio. After struggling with hearing aids and teleprompters in the studio that would let him know what callers were saying — and still staying on top of his job — he finally had a cochlear implant. Now he has part-hearing in one ear, but is still deaf in the other. And he is still on top of his job.
Limbaugh has overcome physical afflictions the like of which few journalists in that room have known, struggling to go on with his work. But the president and his court jester Sykes thought it was a hoot to wish him organ failure.
The White House correspondents thought so, too. Or at least, they laughed when the president laughed. It is what courtiers through the ages have done: when the king laughs, we laugh.
What a bunch of toadies. I’d say that White House correspondents dinner told us everything we need to know about Washington journalists.
The thing was a spaniel-fest. Remember, this is the press corps that was so ‘objective’ that it would not stand when George W Bush walked to the podium at the press briefing room. Now the same hacks jump to their feet the moment Obama arrives.
And laugh when he laughs. Let’s wish organ failure on a deaf Republican! What a hoot!

Great article Mark/Chrissie…thanks for reminding me of the hurdles that Rush has overcome.
Wanda Sykes is a stupid moron. Obama laughing at such a tasteless joke is a member of the same club.
The gist of this joke when taken to the full extent of its intent is the hope that Rush dies. Because Kidney failure is a prelude to death, when the kidneys fail thats it. Anyone who has been across the big pond knows that smell very well.
They mis-represent what Rush said, by design, just to make an issue of it. They are outwardly trying to mask obama’s march to socialism, that’s what Rush wants to fail and obama as the Hitler of the movement. Not the country or our people. He never said that and they know it. Or ms Wanda is too stupid to figure it out.
But they have once again defined themselves as biggots, racists and phonies when it comes to the real issues of this country. It’s all about them and how much power they can acquire over the masses.
As my Mom always said, “Consider the source.”
They’re socialist/democrats. ‘Nuff said.
Excellent summation of the White House press corps and their Washington media buddies. “Toadies”.
That dinner also highlighted some more of the Black racists that Obama thinks so highly of.
James M., thank you. I love this article.
Mark, thank you so much.
It makes me sick how they do these
things, say such horrible things and the
outrage is only by our side and not even
everyone on our side. And non from the left.
If it was siad about them or one of theirs,
oh my gosh, she would be out of the business.
Yankeemom, yes Nicholas says that a lot to
me. Consider the source Chrissie.
Tom, yes it did.
That was the very worst of all the
dinners that this group has done. That
is what having something about Obama
I thihk will always be classless.
