FeedWanda Sykes Rips Washington A New One
Written by NetBear on May 10, 2009 – 7:20 pm -One of our favorite comedians, Wanda Sykes, did a smack-down performance at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner last night. Unlike most of the people in the room, she wasn’t afraid to poke fun at some of the taboo topics of the beltway; like race, “Bush broke a lot of stuff” and the president’s nipples.
Sykes has become the first African-American women and the first openly gay person to ever perform jokes at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. But some of the sensitive politicos are aghast that Sykes dared to skewer Rush Limbaugh for his saying he hopes this administration fails.
Just watch the horror on some of their faces as Wanda let’s Limbaugh have it.
Rush Limbaugh said he hopes this administration fails. So you’re saying, ‘I hope America fails’, you’re, like, ‘I don’t care about people losing their homes, their jobs, our soldiers in Iraq’. He just wants the country to fail. To me, that’s treason. He’s not saying anything differently than what Osama bin Laden is saying.
You know, you might want to look into this, sir, because I think Rush Limbaugh was the 20th hijacker. But he was just so strung out on OxyContin he missed his flight.
Rush Limbaugh… I hope the country fails… I hope his kidneys fail. How about that? He needs a good waterboarding, that’s what he needs.
I always admired Wanda Sykes for her wit and personality. After she came out as a lesbian I loved her all that much more. But now she’s definitely one of my heroes.
Give ‘em hell, Wanda!

I loved the Rush Limbaugh rip. It’s about time someone put that disgusting closet queen in his place. I wonder what Keith Olbermann will say.
