Good post. I thoroughly enjoyed her routine as well. I thought she did a wonderful job of holding up a mirror to Limbaugh, et al.

From what I'm told, the live reactions to the jokes were even more telling than what you could hear on C-SPAN.

Extra credit for the use of "abattoir".

Great post oleeb. There is no criticism of that Big Fat Idiot that is over the top. He has long ago forfiet the right to expect to be treated with dignity.
The best put down of Rush that I can recall was when he went on Letterman (must be ten years ago). The windbag came out expecting to wow the crowd. Letterman gave him a polite introduction, started the conversation and when Rush started to rave Dave just smiled and let him dig himself in deeper. After a while Rush realised he was crashing and looked at Letterman to save him and Dave just smiled and handed him more rope. Had the guy ever talked to an audience that was not hand picked wingnuts? Normal people just don't buy his crap. He hates when that happens.

=D Well, yeah. Supersize

It was a comedy routine, abd she only said treason once.

I'll take a pass on fleshing-out Limbaugh though. That job is much too big for one person, and would be best contracted out to an abattoir.

Interesting that Sykes made

Interesting that Sykes made statements regarding treason. Anyone care to flesh this out and distinguish patriot dissent and treason?

(For what it was worth, I did not think it was particularly funny, either.)

Oxycontin and its siblings and derivatives run a higher risk of liver damage than other opiates. Generally the abuse of all drugs including alcohol (except marijuana, which seems mostly excluded here as with almost all side-effects) can cause kidney damage. The liver is certainly even more exposed, but do not discount the kidney.

Fine, but that's merely a matter of personal taste, not of "good" or "bad" or "tasteless".

The bottom line is, whether you liked the jokes or not (as I sure did and so did the people in the room at the time), what she said was perfectly cricket and not at all below the belt.
