Don Rickles nearly hijacked the American Film Institute’s tribute to Shirley MacLaine on Thursday night at Sony Pictures Studios, unleashing a trademark barrage of insults that took aim at President Obama, Warren Beatty, Jack Nicholson and the honoree herself.
“I shouldn’t make fun of the blacks,” Rickles said, and then proceeded to do just that: “President Obama is a personal friend of mine. He was over to the house yesterday, but the mop broke.”
The black-tie crowd, gathered to celebrate MacLaine, the 40th recipient of the AFI’s Life Achievement Award, alternately gasped at the 86-year-old comic’s put-downs and then found themselves laughing and applauding.

86 years and he finally he decides he is an America.
Good. It’s about time someone from that hole of depraved good for nothing but acting said something like that. Why not? He is the worst joke in the history of this country, Obama that is, not Rickles. If he weren’t black, he’d have already been crucified, and hung out to dry. Black, rather, half, HALF black, but it seems that every butt licking sycophant in hollyhole conveiently prefers to forget that. Not to mention, he’s the biggest liar in the nation, and the top TRAITOR on top of it all, yet, hollyhole supports him as if he is all that and a bag of chips. Well, his chips are as stale as 10 year old Fritos, and like stale Fritos, he should be thrown down the garbage disposal. He is a waste of air and flesh. He isn’t worth a good fart. All he is is a bag of hot air, and it is stale, smelly air at that. He is so thick skinned that it is hard to insult him, but then again, he IS AN INSULT TO EVERY FREEDOM LOVING AMERICAN AND TO EVERYONE WITH INTELLIGENCE! He has none of this intelligence himself, otherwise, he’d be able to talk without the aid of a teleprompter. Someone please flush this long skinny peice of dookie down the toilet and be done with it!
Correction. Not 1/2 Black.
Oblameo is 1/2 White, 1/4 Black, 1/4 Arabian. (or something similar)
obama has so many blacks Thinking he is for them 'just because' his skin is dark.
And the whites who do No want him & will not vote for him – they call us Racists.
Yet they vote for him just because he is black – So who is really the Racist.
Am I a racist because I don't like Obama's white half. His white mother was a a Marxist who brought him up to be a Marxist. Her teachers referred to her as "Anarchist Annie". When his white mother abandoned him and sent him to live with his white grandparents, they continued his Marxist education. Even though he idolized his black father, the truth is that his father abandoned him within days of his birth.
All of his Marxist views come from the white relatives who raised him. The fact that he's bi-racial means nothing to me.
Don Rickles has done this act as long as I can remember. That's his schtick. Nobody ever complained because that's what he does…until now. Lighten up people. He has roasted just about everyone who is someone, John Wayne, Ronald Reagan, Frank Sinatra, and the list goes on.
