Justin Timberlake wasn’t the only one being funny on Saturday night.  Earlier in the evening, Barack Obama presided over the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, the annual fete for the media saps who cover the politics of the executive branch.  I don’t think there’s any kind of law that requires the president to do 16 minutes of stand-up at these kinds of functions, but that’s exactly what he did anyway.  And he wasn’t bad.  Coulda used a bunch more F-bombs, but it’s worth it just to hear him say that Republican Party Chairman Michael Steele was “in the heezy.  WASSUP?”  Goddam, it’s awesome to have a black president. (UPDATE: His “What’s up?” to John Boehner after making fun of his fake tan in Part 2 is even better.)

Part 2 of the act is after the jump.  Up next on Fox News: WHY IS THE PRESIDENT LAUGHING DURING A NATIONAL CRISIS?!?!?!?

This is ordinarily the time of the day where I’m sifting through the TV listings to tell you the crap that’s on tonight, but that’s getting tabled for now because clips this outstanding can’t wait until tomorrow.   This is Rep. Alcee Hastings (D-Fla.), who stood on the House floor to discuss a proposed amendment, and ended up reading a long list of sexual acts and fetishes.

That list included such good times as asphyxiphilia, autogynophilia, apotemnophilia (but not acrotomophilia), corophilia (arousal from eating poop), incest, kleptomania (impulsively stealing genitals?), pedophilia, klismaphilia (erotic use of enemas), S&M, exhibitionism, necrophilia, transgenderism, toucherism — toucherism! — and zoophilia.  He also superbly rolls both the R’s in frotteurism.

I guess that’s a pretty good list… for Congress.  But this is the INTERNET, man.  We need more!  Hell, he didn’t even mention anything from Japan.  No dekapai, no bukkake, no hentai — I demand tentacle porn!  And would it kill him to include formicophilia?  Some of us happen to get off from ants crawling our genitals, you know.  Hey, don’t judge.
