The end where Kathleen Sebelius runs up to help with a computer malfunction is priceless.
Here is the transcript for those in a hurry.
P.S. Here is a picture of the First Lady in her stunning dress which is actually getting more attention on social media sties than the President's comedic speech.
FIRST COUPLE ROCKS!
ReplyDeletefake marriage or not, that was funny, as was the biden thing
DeleteC'mon 9:41. This post is not about Sarah and Todd Palin's marriage. Why you gotta always bring their dumb asses up?
Delete"Fake" marriage? Think you have the wrong couple you probably have read a lot about, 9:41!
DeleteOnly a loon, a seriously brainwashed loon would believe they have a fake marriage. I've known them for years. It's just right wing propaganda from racists.
DeleteSarah and Todd do have a fake marriage. They are divorced now. They have shared children, obviously, and a business arrangement. They have beef divorced a few years. FACT.

What a beautiful woman she is--inside and out.
ReplyDeleteI know what you meant but the headline is a bit unsettling. You might consider a slight edit.
ReplyDeleteI agree!!! I did a double-take and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
DeletePLEASE: the President has NOT been killed. He 'brought down the house', or "The President 'killed' " .
I 'bout had heart failure for a moment, even though we've had Global BC running for the past four hours.
DeletePlease Gryphen, edit your headline a little.
I agree. President Killed should not be in a headline. That is not funny.
DeleteI too would like to see another word but "killed". Some Rwinger will go with that headline and demand a congressional investigation.
DeleteGryphen, dude, the crowd has spoken.
DeleteAnd the crowd is right.
"President killed at the White House" is a headline nobody needs to see no matter what the second line happens to be,
Okay, okay.
DeleteGeez.
Thanks, Gryphen, even if that probably isn't even your real name.
DeleteAnd how did Sarah Palin spend her evening? Lighting up the ol crackpipe and swigging down Red Bulls.
ReplyDeleteTheyre all on some family weekend trip
Delete9:42 Yea, sure! Since when do the Palins do things as a 'family' group and especially going on a trip? Cracks me up...sounds like they are trying to make a 'cover' due to the competition of the Correspondence Dinner!
Deletesome family weekend trip... code for hiding in shame.
Delete9:42, a family weekend trip to Costco? idiot...
Delete'Family trip weekend' in order to console Barstool that she will be losing her meal ticket called Tripp (like the prostitute her PIMP father used)?
DeleteA weekend to plot just WHAT kind of monkey wrench they can throw at Levi to thwart his attempts to FINALLY get to see his son on a regular schedule?
11:14 Yea, like the Palins were on a family trip to Costco! That is a joke! Which family members were there? Photos? Proof?
DeleteApparently, according to the troll, the Palin family is passing around the crackpipe and redbulls. That's a good way to infect the whole family with Sarah's herpes.
DeleteUnfortunately, Sarah attempted making cookies from scratch, She scratched everyones feet with a ped egg, added an egg and some chocolate chips. Oh, and the chord to the mixer fell into the batter. She quickly cleaned the business end of the chord by trying to lick the batter off, which caused her tongue to suffer a tazer wound. In lieu of get well cards, she asked for Sarahpac money so she can live vibrantly.
DeleteJoel McHale’s 10 Best Jokes At the White House Correspondents Dinner
ReplyDeletehttp://www.politicususa.com/2014/05/04/joel-mchales-10-jokes-white-house-correspondents-dinner.html
Gryphen, I love your site, but my heart dropped when I saw the headline. It was a second or two before I realized you were not making a literal statement. Am I the only one?
ReplyDeleteI am sure that the majority of the people arriving here are aware that when a comedian does well, that in the comedic vernacular it is said that they "killed."
DeleteHowever of course, since this is me, I also took into consideration the fact that during a previous WHCD that Osama Bin Laden was meeting his demise at American hands.
So my tongue was tickling my cheek just a bit.
I'm a bit late to the table, but I would actually have no problem reading the original headline, especially seeing the still photo of him at the White House Correspondence Dinner. I do understand the heightened sensitivity, but knowing Gryphen, he'd never suggest the unspeakable in literal terms.
DeleteYep. He pretty much cracked on everybody and did a funny assed job of making fun of himself. Loved Michelle's dress--and Joe and Julia Louis-Dreyfus in the film. Okay--I even laughed at Boehner watching the Panda-cam.
ReplyDeletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENjKi7NkTNE&sns=fb
ReplyDeleteI loved when he would chuckle to himself with a big grin.
ReplyDeleteHe made me smile and laugh so many times last night! Love him, love him! I'm so proud he is our POTUS! First Lady stole the show too!!
DeleteThe man has great comedic timing. Still love his Obamacare video with Zach.
DeleteBesides you faux pas in the headline....
ReplyDeleteOUR FIRST LADY ROCKS!!! What a gorgeous woman! (And, I believe, she is actually fifty years old, too... What a sight for sore eyes after seeing the screechy old Grifter Tundra Turd hag!
And great speech, President! ;)
We are so lucky to have such a classy and beautiful first lady.
DeleteOMG this is even better. God I love humanity
ReplyDeletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MkOieIdhY0
OMG, his joke about the Koch brothers ( a shadowing right wing organization) and Fox News was spectacular!
ReplyDeleteHe said, ‘And speaking of conservative heroes, the Koch brothers bought a table here tonight. But they used a shadowy right-wing organization as a front. Hello, Fox News. I’m just kidding. Let’s face it, Fox, you’ ll miss me when I’ m gone. It will be harder to convince the American people that Hillary was born in Kenya”
ReplyDeleteThe President said, “These days, House Republicans are actually giving John Boehner a harder time than they’re giving me, which means orange really is the new black.”
ReplyDeleteHe referred to his poll numbers and said, “I did notice, [daughter] Sasha needed a speaker at Career Day. She invited Bill Clinton. I was a little hurt by that.”
The President continued, “Both sides are doing whatever it takes to win. The ruthless game. Republicans — this is a true story. Republicans actually brought in a group consultant to teach their candidates how to speak to women. This is true. I don’t know if it’ll work for women, but I understand America’s teenage boys are signing up to run for the Senate in droves.”
On Rand Paul and Cliven Bundy he said,“I haven’t seen somebody pull a 180 that fast [as an Olympic snowboarder] since Rand Paul dis-invited that Nevada rancher [Cliven Bundy] from this dinner.”
On Eric Cantor:
ReplyDeleteJust yesterday I read a heartbreaking letter. I get letters from folks around the country every day. I get 10 that I read. This one got me. A Virginia man who’s been stuck in the same part-time job for years. No respect from his boss. There was no chance to get ahead. I really wish Eric Cantor would stop writing me. You can just pick up the phone, Eric.
On Chris Christie:
Look, I know. Washington seems more dysfunctional than ever. Gridlock has gotten so bad in this town, you have to wonder what did we do to piss off Chris Christie so bad?
On right wing hero Vladimir Putin:
You would think they would appreciate a more assertive approach, considering that the new conservative darling is non other than Vladimir Putin. Last year, Pat Buchanan said Putin’s headed straight for the Nobel Peace Prize. He said this. Now I know it sounds crazy but to be fair they give those to just about anybody these days. It could happen.
On Congress he said, “If you want to get paid while not working you should have to run for Congress just like everyone else.”
On MSNBC’s ratings he said, “MSNBC’s here, they’re a little overwhelmed. They’ve never seen an audience this big before.”
On Healthcare.gov, he said, “In 2008, my slogan was ‘Yes, we can.’ In 2013 my slogan was ‘control-alt-delete.’”
I watched the show last night on CSPAN and absolutely loved it! Funny, funny! Our POTUS did an outstanding job in spite of all the negative he has to deal w/on a daily basis as POTUS!
ReplyDeleteHis humor is wonderful (yes, I know he has writers!) as will as his timing and delivery. He is the very BEST at it! And, it didn't hurt that First Lady Michelle was stunning in her gorgeous dress! The two of them have gorgeous smiles and use them freely!
Especially fun was watching President Obama make fun of himself....that tells you a lot about the man! Love the guy and am proud as hell that he is our POTUS. Whenever I think we could have had McCain or Romney, I say thank you that both lost their races against such an outstanding man!
>> Love the guy and am proud as hell that he is our POTUS. Whenever I think we could have had McCain or Romney, I say thank you that both lost their races against such an outstanding man!
DeleteI agree completely and thank you for stating it so clearly.
+1000
DeleteI think we need side by side photos of our beautiful FLOTUS and that wanna be "valley trash" who thinks dressed up means black hip(less)-hugger phallic symbol jeans and a $2 tee shirt
ReplyDelete"I believe the word here is, "Dayum!" "
ReplyDeleteNOPE! It is "DAYUM!!!" ;)
11:12 The retarded woman does NOT deserve being in the same photo vicinity of our beautiful First Lady! (Even if the photos are from two different locations and occasions!)
ReplyDeleteHaving Palin compared to Michelle Obama would be a huge disservice to First Lady Obama! There is NO comparison!!! Palin flunks big time!

I entirely agree Anon at 12:09 pm. Goregeous and classy First Lady of the United States, Michelle Obama (who is loved, cherished and respected by her husband Barack Obama, President of the United States), totally outshines the Ol' Irrelevant One who is married to a Pimp.

DeleteWho can forget when Lieberman blocked Esther from coming anywhere close to him? Must See TV.
DeleteI'd love to see a picture of that again. She was trying so hard to get close to Obama.
DeleteThank you Mr. Lieberman for stepping in - I'm not sure McCain would have done that!
DeleteThat's one of the all time best photos of Sarah Palin. The look on her face (doofus), the President chatting away, completely unawares, Lieberman's deft interception (no, Sarah, the president doesn't want to chat with the woman who sneered the phrase "community organizer" and smiled when her fans yelled "kill him!").
DeleteIs that photo on the internet? If anyone has a link! That should be a sticky, that she was trying SO hard to get next to him! What a hypocrite.
DeleteI'm sorry, nothing will ever compare to this. "These are the kinds of decisions that would keep me up at night". OMG I have never heard anything funnier. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIkxoq0agNo
ReplyDeleteI loved that! Trump was literally seething in his seat. That was one of the best dinners ever!
DeleteI think that was the Saturday night before the Sunday that he informed the nation that he had gotten Bin Laden. Meanwhile Trump at the steakhouse with Gary Busey........
DeleteWanna bet we get a photo of Sarah this week with the Belmonts at full.inflation and one bony shoulder exposed?
ReplyDeleteI sincerely hope she doesn't embarrass herself by doing that! First off, she no longer has the looks and assuredly is not sweet, warm and inviting! She's the complete opposite!
DeleteThe self-nominated prom queen sat both out.
DeleteI was positive that during the dinner she would post some real attention getting post about torture, shuckin and jiving, growing a big one, cojones, blood libel, knocking children's health programs of the 1st Lady, something, ANYTHING, to try to get a response.
DeleteThe First Lady's dress reminds me of the one she wore for the first inauguration. Both times, she looked absolutely gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteCompare her to the picture of Coldoleeza Rice in the other post and remember they're only 9 years apart in age.
I'm so glad and proud to have such a smart, down to earth, witty and caring couple in the White House!
The Veep double act was beyond hilarious! Who knew Biden was such a great comedian. Loved, loved the House of Cards reference.
ReplyDeleteThat entire White House Correspondence Dinner last night was outstanding. I watched it on CSPAN and it brought so many smiles to my face and out loud laughter!
DeleteWe have great people leading our country and I'm very, very proud!
Humor truly brings so much more to the table!
Joe Biden has charm oozing out of every pore.
DeleteLove the guy!
I love Joe, (some RW) people mock him because he does put his foot in it sometimes, but never with a snarky or mean "look at me" attitude. He should probably be president in 2016 but his hour is coming at the wrong time. I'm for Warren.
DeleteLove Joe Biden too. Wish he would run w/Hillary, but he probably wouldn't want to do the VP spot again. Don't think he'll run against her.
DeleteOur First Lady does not look 50, if that is how old she is. She's cute, warm, inviting and receptive! Love her as well as her husband, POTUS! Beautiful couple and great examples for the USA! (Their two daughters are too!)
ReplyDeleteMichelle is a natural. Natural beauty, natural Mom, natural wife. The whole package...gardening...raising good kids, not bashing others just to get attention. I love it that her Mom is in the WH too!
DeleteTotally agree w/both of you 3:56 and 4:44.
DeleteHow come Sarah Palin wasn't there?
ReplyDeleteBecause she is a washed up nobody.
LOL!!!! Doesn't "Washed" imply the use of soap and water? She'd melt!
DeleteIs Sarah gonna call it a nerd prom again?
ReplyDelete@ 1:12 I will NEVER forget that picture, brings a smile to my face every time I see it,
ReplyDeleteHe's got perfect timing and a sharp wit. The part with being between two potted plants had me rolling! Of course it'll be worth three weeks of bleating, hair pulling and hateful rants about his bias against a certain entertainment network. This was his best since he dug at Donald Trump, who sat slackjawed and incredulous that a sitting president picked on him.
ReplyDeleteChristie got quite a few digs from the MC and others over his weight and bridgegate, but he seemed to take it well.
That photo (And others on Obama Diary linked to the left) of First Lady Michelle Obama is amazing! She radiates style, poise and grace that's rarely seen in a First Lady. They're a perfect complement to each other.
Totally agree, Anita!
DeleteThey truly are a beautiful couple representing America across the world. Love both of them and especially their heart warming smiles!
