The recently out-of-the-closet comedian, Wanda Sykes, attended the White House Correspondents’ Dinner and offended over the half the guest list. She took to the podium in front of the President and bent Rush Limbaugh over after he made some ignorant comments regarding the current administration overseeing the United States of American.
Per Fox News:
“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,” Sykes said.
“He’s not saying anything differently than what Usama bin Laden is saying,” she continued, before addressing the guest of honor, President Obama. “You know, you might want to look into this, sir, because I think maybe Rush Limbaugh was the 20th hijacker. But he was just so strung out on OxyContin he missed his flight.”
Obama politely smiled and even went on to giggle as Wanda continued her bit.
“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.”
The Press Secretary of the White House, Robert Gibbs, was unhappy with her speech turned HBO comedy special. Probably not a smart move to involve the snarky bits for the conservative party. The President hasn’t officially commented, but most are outraged.
What do you think? Did Wanda cross the line or hit the nail on the head?
