Joan Rivers To President Obama: ‘Take Care Of The F**king Country!’

Video
» 25 comments

As the news that Osama bin Laden is dead begins to sink in, other, less weighty stories can begin to waft over, or wriggle under, that steel media curtain. The bin Laden story blotted out the usual post-White House Correspondents Dinner fluff, but in its cooling embers, we can now marvel at Joan Rivers‘ prime example of that sweetest of celebrity truffles, the pre-gamin’ red carpet political rant. The veteran comic (and former contestant on Donald Trump‘s Celebrity Apprentice) had some choice words when asked about President Obama, imploring him to “stop campaigning,” and “Take care of the f**king country!”

There’s not really much to analyze here, beyond the fact that Joan’s rant was captured by a reporter from CNS News, home of my pal Fred Lucas, and owned by Brent Bozell‘s Media Research Center. I give them points for consistency, bleeping Joan’s f-bomb even though they have no broadcast standards to adhere to.

It’s actually surprising that there aren’t more sloppy celeb rants popping up, post-Nerdprom, given the amount of open bar pre-and-post partying that went on. I, for one, am glad nobody stuck a camera in my face Saturday night.

For what it’s worth, Rivers does go on to widen her criticism to include “everyone.”

Here’s the clip, from CNS News:

    Media: We need people to talk about the big political issues. Quick! Get Donald Trump, Robert De Niro, and Joan Rivers! They’re eloquent enough!

    That wasn’t the media, that was CNSnews, the anti media (lol)

    This is the first intelligent comment that has come out of Joans mouth in decades! She was all praising Obama before, but I guess America is finally opening it’s eyes and see what a lousy leader Obama truly is. Also, Joan is looking better now than she ever has, guess those expensive facelifts and botox injections have worked wonders for her face, now she needs to work on her brain, but since she has realized Obama is a crappy leader, there still may be hope for her brain as well.

    The only way this would help Obama’s re-election chances is if OBL were shot the day before the election. That it happened now gives everyone ample time to forget his back-slapping ‘Mission Accomplished’ demeanor and remember where we’re at: high unemployment that Obama seemingly wants to go higher; high gas prices & inflation that Obama seemingly wants to see go higher; and low consumer confidence.

    The stock market is giving Obama the kick-in-the-ass he deserves. For two days straight after this ‘monumental’ news, the market has gone down. Chris Matthews and other Leftist media hacks are clearly masturbating over this event, but no one else is.

    Thanks for stating the obvious. The nuance this site has been capturing lately is just staggering.

    Wow….she’s a class act…

    ICK!

  • Cecelia

    It doesn’t dawn on her that killing Bin Laden IS taking care of the country?

  • Pablo

    She’s right, and that was not an Obamacentric rant. The fact that campaigns start as soon as the last one ends makes for too much time campaigning and not enough time doing the job. And it is all of them, not just Obama.

    “Wow….she’s a class act… ”

    She’s no different than every liberal celebrity who said “f-ck Bush.” You didn’t complain about them, why complain about her? Frankly, thank God some celebrities hate Obama, that man gets way too much love.

    MI CASA NO ES SU CASA.

    she just told him to do his job, she didn’t attack him personally. I’m sure she voted for him. She’s a new york liberal.

    Yeah, but Obama getting a chubby over it, then forcing the Amercan people to witness his shameless display of pleasuring himself , is not the ” real ” American way.

  • LibertySister

    Hollywood needs to understand that actors are just actors. Just because they have a platform to speak there mind and idiots to listen to them…. does not mean they are the brightest crayon in the box.

    Robert De Niro was a school drop out, but the media listens to his political views? I remember Lindsay Lohan promoting Obama and people would listen to her…

    Where’s my hat tip?

    Joan Rivers is not a total liberal, I heard she supports the second amendment, plus she’s politically incorrect.

    What the President needs to do is read the Constitution again and realize that the F’ing Country is not HIS to ‘take care of’, it is OURS and we’ve f’ed by letting two fanatical country clubs take control of it every 4 to 8 years.

    I find it somewhat odd that so many Americans denounce the British Royal Family as archaic or a sideshow for tourism and fail to recognize that here in the US the Two Party System has become a de facto Oligarchy that is ran by two factions that are each driving us to hell with their ‘good intentions’, albeit on different paths.

    They get rich, we get f’ed, and we get the check that is so large now that our posterity will be born in to servitude to pay for someone else’s grandma’s Depends.

    Isn’t that nice, it is not involuntary servitude if you elect a ruler who gets your parents consent before you are even born. It is not nice, it is BS. Wake up folks, our problems are not the people running the various levels of government, it is the government has taken the role of running OUR LIVES.

  • Nachi

    She’s always been such a Class Act. Lots of appeal to the lower classes of our society. Tis in the – breeding.

  • D REX

    America to Joan Rivers ..take care of your FUKING face ….

  • Tedderman

    How is this old show whore still alive, she’s had more propyfil than Michael Jackson? Plus when she was a girl, the confederate army raped her.

  • CAconservative

    Ms.Rivers has a way of cutting through the BS and getting right to the point. She’s absolutely right, two years out and Obimbo is campaigning for reelection?
