• Comedian Hal Sparks joins us in studio at 8:05am Pacific to talk about all things politics and pop culture.

• Former President Jimmy Carter said yesterday that Rep. Joe Wilson’s outburst to President Obama during a speech to Congress last week was an act “based on racism” and rooted in fears of a black president.

The House formally rebuked Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC) yesterday for shouting “You lie!” at President Obama during last week’s nationally televised speech. Lawmakers thought Wilson had violated basic rules of decorum and civility in his outburst.

ABC News says it was wrong for its employees to Tweet that President Obama had called Kanye West a “jackass” for the rapper’s treatment of country singer Taylor Swift. ABC said some of its employees overheard a conversation between the president and CNBC and didn’t realize the conversation was off the record.

Just listened to hour 1 and YAAAAAYYYYYYY for the return of RIGHT WING WORLD!!!!!!!!! I'm so happy!!!!!!!!!!

Have a good one folks until anon - or tomorrow even.

Bye, everyone. Have a great Hump Day!

Bye, Mama! Mooks run wild tomorrow. Jim will be late. Just sayin.

Have a great day, folks!

Buh bye, BloggenAmigos! Don't you ever change a thing..

Bye all! Who's filling in tomorree?

The latest Rambo flick has Stallone really looking horrible. Acting horribly (nothing new), the movie is extra violent. I admit that Stallone had some talent, after all he wrote the original Rocky movie.

Speaking of insurance company disgraces, how about disqualifying someone for having an unreported case of acne as a teen? Imagine having a job at an insurance company rejecting claims. Better a sister in the whore house than a brother at the insurance company..

Baucus needs to be shoved into his locker until REFORM is done.

HealthCo to abused women (men too??): Stop beating yourself up!

#244 - remember SNLs Great Moments in Herstory about Catherine the Great - she was in bed with Mr. Ed. Did anyone get it?

#239 - that's right (franctically checking the IMDB)! Thanks!

#135: Are we going for quantity over quality? I know, hail Sparta and all that, but let's keep a high signal to noise ratio (yes I know, pot-kettle). Maybe Chris will plug the live blog again and we'll get fresh blood. Plenty more of us bitter unemployed drunken shut-ins out there.

it's true. bea arthur is hung like catherine the great's horse.

joan looked like she was wearing a bad joan rivers mask.

232. Agree. she's got the magic.

absolutely, 237. I have a lawsuit like that going on myself.

Speaking of horrible plastic surgery work - Joan Rivers. When she laughs, her bosom jiggles..

Jeff Ross, head of the friar's club at the moment (where bad comedians go to die), said it.

Question for the liveblog: You hear a commercial from a law firm about a drug that could cause health trouble. You know someone taking this drug, it works for them and they seem fine. Should you mention the commercial to the person taking the drug?

231. the theme was always she had a bigger d**k than the men in the room

#230 Indeed, especially cause she's batsh*t crazy!

"I wouldn't fuck her with Bea Arthur's dick."

betty bacall should get a lifetime achievement award. no actress has remained so vital for so long. Her first role--at 17 in to have and have not--to her last, she owns the screen.

#218 - actually, she was a participant in the Roasts for Pamela Anderson and I forgot for who else when awful standup comedian said something that he'd get ****** by Bea Arthur's ****, or something awful like that. You could tell even she was offended by that.

Janice Dickenson - scariest of all

hal never in his life had a cup of coffee, a cigarette, or a single dose of anything. If we had lived so abstemiously, we would be as smart and energetic as he is.

222. Oh no! Say it ain't so! 8-O

Kenny Rogers, even scarier than Burt Reynolds!

How does Hal Sparks have so much energy early in the morning?

Know Lauren was pissed she didn't get the supporting actress Oscar for sentimental reasons (in Streisand's "Mirror Has Two Faces").

colin farrell is a fooking kent

Rumor has Colin Farrell's small. You know what I mean.

I watched a college coed texting as she walked through the library. She walked straight into a wall.

I always wake up from a colonoscopy in a good mood. I wonder what they're doing to me when I'm under.

#209 To my knowledge, there has never been a comprehensive study AND it most certainly would cut down on texting while driving

If you ever get a chance, watch a Friar's Roast of Bea Arthur.

lauren is surrounded by an aura of pit viper, puma, blue-ringed octopus

#212 - no, I love Randi and listen every day. She's not on today as she's having a colonoscopy!

210. Mama's still afraid of Lauren Bacall though :twisted:

P.S.: Wonder how long it will be before we will see the new movie "Creation", a biopic about Charles Darwin. Apparently they're having trouble finding a US distributor. Creationist/Religious opposition, you see.

the difference between a cactus and edith? cactus has pricklies on the outside.

206. she can be prickly, but I still like her rhetorical skills that sometimes are just brilliant.

wake up white people. you're all racists.

Almost forgot - Lauren Bacall is 85 today, Mickey Rourke is 57, Peter Falk is 82 and George Chakiris West Side Story's Bernanrdo is 75. Happy Birthdays to all!

#208 On a large scale that would be dangerous. Too much distraction for many male drivers. See Salma Hayek crossing the street at the start of Desperado.
