Iranian General Ridicules Obama

Obama's threats are the ‘the joke of the year.’

President Barack Obama is a “low-IQ US president,” whose threat to launch a military offensive should nuclear talks fail is an oft-cited punchline in the Islamic Republic, particularly among children, an Iranian general said on Tuesday.

“The low-IQ US president and his country’s Secretary of State John Kerry speak of the effectiveness of ‘the US options on the table’ on Iran while this phrase is mocked at and has become a joke among the Iranian nation, especially the children,” General Masoud Jazayeri said, according to the semi-official Fars News Agency.

John Boehner Cracks a Weiner Joke

I am sure Boehner's name has caused him to sure from jokes in the past. Unlike Boehner, Weiner has earned his ridicule.

U.S. House Speaker John Boehner (BAY'-nur) drew laughs from an audience at Ohio State University with a joke about the name of a colleague involved in a scandal over lewd photos.

Boehner said Sunday during a commencement speech at Ohio Stadium that his own last name has been pronounced to rhyme with the words honor and leaner and even "boner."

Then he said: "Thank God it's not Weiner."

Kerry corrects his Palin joke and accuses Republicans of having no sense of humor

John Kerry just doesn't know when to shut up. After joking, "Too bad, if a governor had to go missing, it couldn't have been the governor of Alaska. You know, Sarah Palin," he has changed it to wishing Dick Cheney would go missing.

From The Washington Post:

Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) would like to amend that little joke he made earlier this week about Sarah Palin when he said he wished it had been the Alaska governor who had gone missing instead of South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford.

"Too bad, if a governor had to go missing, it couldn't have been the governor of Alaska. You know, Sarah Palin," Kerry told a group of civic and business leaders on Tuesday, according to the Boston Herald. That, of course, was before he and the rest of us learned Sanford had lost himself in Argentina with his secret mistress.

"We stand corrected, the truth is every Democrat hopes Governor Palin is in the public eye for a long, long time, especially on the 2012 presidential ballot," Kerry spokeswoman Jodi Seth says. "Lately it's been Vice President Cheney that everyone hopes would lose the cameras and go for a long leisurely hike on the Appalachian Trail. And good grief, if anyone thinks John Kerry is afraid of strong, smart women, they sure haven't met his brilliant wife and two independent daughters. It sounds like getting crushed these last two election cycles cost some of these Republicans their sense of humor."

Letterman loses sponsor over 'insulting' Palin joke

Now, we know the real reason Davide Letterman finally made an actual apology to Sarah Palin and her daughters. He is losing sponsors. First, Embassy Suites canceled their advertising, Now, Olive garden is pulling their ads.
The Politico reported:

Following a week of back and forth between CBS late night comic David Letterman and Sarah Palin over a crude joke he told about the Alaska Republican governor’s daughter, the Olive Garden restaurant says it is cancelling all of its scheduled ads on Letterman’s “Late Show” for the rest of the year.

In an email to a Letterman critic obtained by POLITICO, a spokeswoman for the Italian restaurant chain wrote that “there will be no more Olive Garden ads scheduled for ‘The Late Show’ with David Letterman in this year's broadcast schedule,” citing the talk show host’s “inappropriate comments.”

“We apologize that Mr. Letterman’s mistake, which was not consistent with our standards and values, left you with a bad impression of Olive Garden,” wrote Sherri Bruen, the company’s guest relations manager.

Bruen said the company “screens network television programs whenever possible,” but explained that “telecasts, such as ‘The Late Show’ with David Letterman, are taped on a daily basis, preventing advertisers from reviewing the content prior to airing.”

A spokesman for the company confirmed Thursday that for now it has cancelled all its remaining scheduled ads on the CBS program for the rest of the year.

Letterman makes another attempt at an apology to Palin and daughters (video)

David Letterman makes another attempt at an apology to Sarah Palin and her daughters for making a 'crude' joke about one of them having sex at a Yankees baseball game with Alex Rodriguez. This is a much better attempt than his last statement, but he doesn't come across as extermely sincere.

White House refuses to apologize for laughing at Limbaugh 'kidney fail' joke

Obama's Press spokesman, Gibbs, says 9-11 joke was better left for serious reflection. He failed to apologize for, or mention, Obama laughing at Wanda Sykes comment hoping Rush Limbaugh's kidneys fail.
FOX News reported:

Press Secretary Robert Gibbs stopped just short of questioning Sykes’ selection, saying, “I don’t know how guests get booked. That’s a White House Correspondents’ Association thing.”

Then he said “there are a lot of topics that are better left for serious reflection, rather than comedy. I think there’s no doubt that 9/11 is part of that.”

Sykes had condemned Limbaugh for saying he hopes the Obama administration fails.

She said to the audience, “to me, that’s treason,” and to President Obama she said, “you might want to look into this, sir, because I think Rush Limbaugh was the 20th 9/11 hijacker. He was just so strung out on Oxycontin he missed his flight.”

Sykes knew she was treading on thin ice, asking after she told the joke, “too much?” She followed that by saying of Limbaugh, “I hope his kidneys fail, how about that?”
