But you have to wonder how a similar joke might have played at the White House Correspondents' dinner on Saturday night, as long as it was about a Republican.

Somehow Ms. Sykes got laughs with this material, and draws no fire. It is all supposed to be about the setting, or so we are told. President Obama was there, the dinner is always the Washington version of a Friars Club Roast, just without the Sopranos language.

So Sykes, a comedian, gets a pass because of where she was, and whom she was talking about. And maybe who she is.

I guess she got a pass because she didn’t say “macaca”.

I thought the elevator joke was very funny - and it was a joke.

What Ms. Sykes did was slanderous jokes.

My goodness, the woman can’t even speak English. Her monologues always sound like she’s hanging out on some street corner in a ghetto(not the inner city).

“So Sykes, a comedian, gets a pass because of where she was, and whom she was talking about. And maybe who she is.”

I wrote Applebee’s telling them she was unfit to be a spokesperson...in words to that effect...

I know - it’s a pain to fill out...and there might be a cookie...I just don’t care anymore, my spam filter is good and screw these idiots who love to use their celebrity and get no heat - let enough people write and she might have to put some of her repulsive skin in the game...

"If you gave any U.S. soldier a gun with two bullets in it, and he found himself in an elevator with Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and Osama Bin Laden, there's a good chance that Nancy Pelosi would get shot twice, and Harry Reid and Bin Laden would be strangled to death."

Not funny.

I beg to differ...that's funny as hell...

That depends on if she is black... Photobucket on the right side or black on the wrong side, ya know!

Gadzooks! Looks like there is not any hate speech... if it is aimed at us Conservative Republican typical white people--

BTW If I had a nickle for every wise crack... Photobucket a liberal Feminazi Lesbian said about me, I'd be rich.

Hey, I am rich. And... ush, if you are browsing FR... good looking, too!

BTW #2, Rush, if you are browsing FR... feel free to use this and I would not object to a free case of beer. Or two!

If Pelosi got shot twice in the head, I’d worry that it would reshape and reform, like the T1000 from T2: Judgment Day.

Sykes; just a black woman getting away with comments about evil oppressive white dudes.

The problem is that Feherty answers to CBS, who will no doubt can his ass for his comments. Sykes answers to nobody.

I will never understand why people don’t just pick themselves up and walk out. I would never sit & listen to that.

This is a classical left wing tactic. Take something a conservative might have said that may have been a bit tawdry and try to compare it to what a vile marxists said and then suggest that the two are the same. A few years ago the left tried this tactic (i.e., Ann Coulter & Michael Moore). Back then the left would agree that maybe Michael Moore twisted the truth a bit but only if we would agree with them that Ann Coulter lies too. Nice try lefties. We know who you. We know what you are. And we are prepared to fight you.

The difference is Feherty has some class, and later recognized the joke was tasteless and inappropriate, and has publicly apologized for saying it.

Meanwhile, Pres__ent Zero, who LAUGHED at Sykes' jokes, has subsequently registered his displeasure at the jokes.
