What was Wanda Sykes thinking? Perhaps more to the point, what was President Barack Obama thinking when he laughed and smiled as the comedienne wished Rush Limbaugh dead?
Although the Left is reporting her White House Correspondents' Dinner speech as "taking shots" at Limbaugh and mocking everyone, that's a gross misrepresentation of what turned into a hateful and disgusting diatribe.
She then concluded: "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." Obama seemed to think this bit was pretty hilarious, grinning and chuckling and turning to share the "joke" with the person sitting on his right.
There's not much room for differing interpretations of what Sykes said. She called Limbaugh a terrorist and a traitor, suggested that he be tortured and wished him dead.
What was his crime? Hoping that Obama's policies - which he views as socialist - will fail.
That's way, way beyond reasoned debate or comedy and Obama's reaction to it was astonishing.
Hard to take from the man who promised a new era of civility and elevated debate in Washington.

She has bigger muscles than her disgusting husband. She is gross.
Remember when Whoopie said Stalin was just misunderstood.
Yeah but she has some really nice tennis shoes.
What a bunch of bastards, boy they really bash the white folk and get away with it. Wanda better watch her statement about Rush will come back and get her.
“Wanda Sykes is a comedian, so I’ll excuse her crassness and vulgarity... It’s her job”
I won’t and if a conservative made a similiar comment they would be crucified. Just look at Miss California.
I think it's a great idea. But, I'd guess that $1 million is a little steep for Obama. But, if Rush made it say $10K or $25K and challenged both Sykes and Obama personally, that would get some play.
It would be hard for Obama not to respond to such a reasonable amount of money, considering his annual salary is $400K, plus whatever royalties he's still receiving from his two autobiographies.
Only if Olberman agrees to be aborted.
Patrick Ewing still looks like he could play. But, he’s got to cut his hair and lose the pink dress.
Obama, his wife, their friends and their supporters are ALL low class black racist sonsuvbitches.... Which in most cases - can actually be proven.. Especially with Obama.
I can barely grasp the reality that the dumb &*%$&^% is actually in the White House and has STILL refused to prove he was eligible to run.....
NO BIRTH CERTIFICATE - and not a single bastard in Washington or the media thinks that is a problem....
All Hell would break loose.
The event was base and crude and embarrassing.
When I started my journey towards the Conservative philosophy, National Review was Weekly, and that was good. Then Limbaugh gave us our daily dose.
But Jim Rob, allows us, the common man to speak on our soap box, via his forum, at the speed of light.
