[gateley]

54. Thanks for the link! nt

[Grassy Knoll]

2. Did Trump think before he came to this ?

Obama made him look like a child getting hid tongue stuck to a frozen
flag poll, and Seth Mugged him so bad that his hair was a fox eating
other peoples left over food, he deserved all of it. and I loved it.
The slam At Faux Noise " It was just a cartoon" priceless.

[murielm99]

4. Trump was booed on the way in, too. n/t

[PatSeg]

33. His ego is so huge,

that it overshadowed his common sense. Anyone else would have known there would be eventual payback, but somehow Trump thinks he is above it all.

[MadMaddie]

36. Trump is thin skinned and he is used to people doing what

he says....he deserved everything he got last night.

[PatSeg]

39. I'm not sure Trump could ever

get everything he deserves in one lifetime, but last night he got a big chunk of karma in his face.

He is a textbook bully, but he really crossed the line when he went after the president. Obama is hardly the same as Rosie O'Donnell.

[wordpix]

43. he didn't look too happy when he was roasted and O did a great job of it

[PatSeg]

52. The "skinny kid with the funny name"

came out on top.

[murielm99]

3. Thank you jefferson dem.

Outstanding.

[Ruby the Liberal]

5. Ok, that was hilarious.

You go, Mr President!

[mike_c]

6. wow!-- that was classily done....

Trump. :rofl:

[Blacksheep214]

7. Now that's funny!

:applause:

[Tanelorn]

8. Michelle Bachmann is CANADIAN WOW!!!!!

POTUS absolutely ROASTED his opposition tonight.

Donald Trump is a DOUCHEBAG... oh wait that one is true

[wordpix]

42. well that is one fact we didn't know that's a hoot!

[BREMPRO]

9. laughed all the way through it.. Obama's such a good strait man lol!

really stuck it to T-Rump... you could see the him sitting completely stone faced and embarassed/angry through the jokes.. what a loser...no sense of humor..

[NJCher]

22. how did Trump even get invited?

He couldn't muster a smile. A pout, maybe.

His mouth was all twisted up and looked like this New Yorker caricature:



I laughed my head off, especially at the admonishment to Fox that it really was a kid's cartoon. The "Yes, Michelle, this is how it gets started" was good, too.


Cher

[PatSeg]

32. I can just picture Obama that last few weeks,

smiling enigmatically, "Just wait Donald. The Correspondents' Dinner is coming up and then you are all MINE."

[MadMaddie]

37. He was a guest of the Washington Post

what did he expect would happen?

[Historic NY]

10. Well done.

[Narkos]

11. Oh my god he kicked ass!!!! n/t

[immoderate]

12. Comedy is all about timing -- well, it helps to be funny...

Anyway, he had me at mahalo.

--imm

[AC_Mem]

13. Outstanding Mr. President!

Boy did I enjoy that! Laughed so hard at this and Seth too!

Humpty Trumpdy had a great fall, didn't he?

:)

[MadMaddie]

38. I like that

Humpty Trumpdy had a great fall!! Brilliant!

[Rozlee]

14. You'd think a guy with all of Trump's money

could do something about that nasty 'do. Plugs, anything. That hairstyle is so Victorian era vampire. Except for the rattail sticking down the back. I got a big laugh over how mad he was. He'll be venting his spleen all over the airwaves in the next day or two. So predictable.

[NJCher]

30. for a good laugh, do this

Bring up CoolIris. Then in their Google image search box, put "Trump hair." Click "slideshow," sit back, and laugh your head off.

:rofl:

and

:popcorn:

The one with the arrows is hilarious. Then there's one with Trump's hair superimposed on Obama's head.

There are some with Trump's hair being blown by the wind. Those are almost frightening.

And there's one with a two-tone dye job.


Cher

[wordpix]

45. yeah, wonder what his next argument will be, now that O put birther issue to bed with a vengeance

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

15. Did I really just see Optimus Prime during his entrance?

God, I love having a fellow geek in charge of things!

[rosesaylavee]

47. Transformers

"More than meets the eye"... Yep, that was Optimus! :P

[Kind of Blue]

16. Can't recommend enough!

Thanks for posting KnR

[democracy1st]

17. K & R

[Sen. Walter Sobchak]

18. It would have been better with "America, Fuck Yeah!"

and perhaps channeling Coleman Young with an "Aloha Motherfuckers!"

[blackbart99]

19. Next year he'll come out in a hula skirt...

and a coconut bra and go with the Aloha Motherfuckers line. I like it Sen. Sobchak.
:toast: :smoke: :beer:

Thank you J.Dem:yourock: :headbang: :fistbump:

[Scottybeamer70]

20. Obama=class

Trump=ass

[Cass]

21. Funny as hell and so well done!

The bit about Bachmann was absolutely priceless!!

[trud]

25. I loved the zap at Bachmann. n/t

[The Wielding Truth]

35. Maybe she is Canadian? I think this should be investigated. Don't you?

After all her fears about investigation of Congress for anti-Americans, she herself my be a threat to our American ideals.

I'm kidding,but honestly, she deserved this.

[Honeycombe8]

23. This was hysterical!!!!!! Obama has always been great at humor, and this was one of his best! nt

[HopeHoops]

24. K&R

[ChiciB1]

26. ALL Of This Was Superb!! And I'm A "Leftie!" AHA-HA-HA! n/t

[nolabear]

27. Delightful. Puts The Donald right where he belongs, at the kids' table.

[Volaris]

28. revenge is dish best served FOR DINNER, it seems... mwuhahahaha

LOL that was a great big bag-0-win in an otherwise rather suck weekend. Thanks jefferson dem=)

[tammywammy]

29. I thought it was very funny.

I loved the video at the end with Biden.

And Seth really went into Trump. I think the best part was how they kept jumping to Trump and he was sitting there in stone silence. Oh man, if looks could kill. :rofl:

[Rhiannon12866]

31. The president seemed to be really enjoying himself, LOL.

Well done. Seth Myers was right to be worried about following him... :rofl:

[whatchamacallit]

34. Watching this it's easy to remember why I loved this guy

but beyond the bright, witty persona, it's still his policies that define him.

[wordpix]

46. me, too

[trud]

48. yes, not to get seduced by the fact that he has a brain.

Still...it would be nice if he used it in terms of policies.

[wordpix]

40. LMAO---"you fired Gary Busey---these are the kind of decisions that would keep me up at night"

:rofl: so funny, especially in the context of Mr. Trump, you are certainly very experienced.

OUCH!!!!!

[HolyCity2012]

41. .

Ol' Dirty Bastard - Shimmy Shimmy Ya @ 13:58

[Guilded Lilly]

44. On C-Span, the bottom news line read *White House Correspondents Ass*

and then cut off at the end because they ran out of space. Not sure what the rest of it would have been...but that made me laugh right off the bat. Then The President and Seth kept it going strong!

[Faygo Kid]

49. The 1984 World Champion Detroit Tigers in the opening video!

How cool is that? Bless You Boys! Loved to see Darrell Evans running out on the field again!

[Uncle Joe]

50. Well done.

Thanks for the thread, jefferson_dem.

[TomCADem]

51. The Intro Video Was Hilarious...

...A bit edgy, but funny all the same. The Lion King zinger to Fox was nice.

[gateley]

53. K&R - Thanks - I missed it! Obama delivered! nt

[ZombieHorde]

55. Funny stuff. nt

[northofdenali]

56. K & R. Big time.

Thank you for reaffirming my belief in the Presidency. Sometimes it takes a lot (not with BO) but both of us just watched for the 3rd time and saved it.

:hug:

[madokie]

57. I got to see the whole thing and it was brilliant.

Hell it comes on too late at night for me and I didn't dvr it so all I've got to see so far is pieces here and there. Our President is Awesome in that venue but so was Seth. Overall excellent entertainment. But I have to give it to tRump because of his presences and his body language makes this a keep sake.

[Kolesar]

58. His closing remarks about journalists risking death were so meaningful

I hope the attendees appreciated them.
