Wanda Sykes is the most gutless and feckless performer ever to grace the White House Correspondents Dinner.
Sykes, for those who haven’t seen her stellar work in gems like Over the Hedge, is a militant lesbian with a grating voice and an obnoxious strut.
Well, apparently she’s not so proud to be gay. Because when given the opportunity to make jokes about the nation’s leading proponent of opposite-sex marriage, President Barack Obama, she said precisely nothing.
Meanwhile, she saved her real ire for non-governmental figures like Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity. To Obama’s hysterical laughter, she said that she hoped Limbaugh would suffer kidney failure and accused him of being the 20th hijacker. She said she wanted Sean Hannity waterboarded by Keith Olbermann. She attacked Dick Cheney, stating that if her child had a choice between getting in a car with Dick Cheney and a car with a stranger, she would tell her child to choose the stranger.
The bottom line: both feminism and homosexuality matter less to Sykes than kissing Barack Obama’s butt. She didn’t utter a single joke about Obama’s out of control spending. Not one joke about his teleprompter. Not one joke about his visit with Chavez, his messages to Iran, his Cinco De Mayo screwup, his mastery of the Austrian language, his “world without nuclear weapons,” his spreading the wealth around, his ownership of the car companies, his tax-cheat employees.
And most of all, not a single joke about Dan Choi, the first gay Arabic linguist fired by Barack Obama under the military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy. Not a single joke about Obama’s refusal to stump for homosexual marriage. Sykes pledged to “get in their face” about gay marriage, but refused to get in the face of the most powerful man on earth about

Thanks for the info, I did not know she is a spokesperson for Applebee’s having never even heard of her. I did let them know how angry I am.
One commentator said that they only thing left to do after Imus' presentation was to go around and shoot the wounded. It was great!!!
Sykes didn’t speak truth to power.
It doesn’t take guts to rant at your out-of-power “enemies” while you are surrounded by your currently-in-power friends.
Sykes got a pass because she is a black!
Late night Saturday? Who watches it? LOL!
Don't waste your time, the show will bomb on its own and it won't be due to pressure on the sponsors........
Family Guy - same story. Time to pull the TV plug out of the wall and do something (anything) else.
News Corp will charge for newspaper websites, says Rupert Murdoch
Snippets: Television profits also shrank dramatically, falling from $419m to $4m due to a loss of Superbowl revenue and weaker advertising at the group's Fox channels in the US and its Star network in Asia.
She has been a vocal opposer of Proposition 8 in California. Her oppositon may be characterized as "militant."
From a New York Times November 15, 2008 article:
In Las Vegas, the comedian Wanda Sykes surprised a crowd of more than 1,000 rallying outside a gay community center by announcing that she is gay and had wed her wife in California on Oct. 25. Ms. Sykes, who divorced her husband of seven years in 1998, had never publicly discussed her sexual orientation but said the passage of Proposition 8 had propelled her to be open about it.
"I felt like I was being attacked, personally attacked — our community was attacked," she told the crowd.
Bull Dike bigot!
LLS
Well Wanda is just too ugly to be a hetero...
“I haven’t seen the Rush bit yet,”
When the media talks about this, they always leave out that Sykes wished failed kidneys on Rush. In other words, she wants Rush dead. That’s the outrage. AND Obama laughed.
Obama is always given a pass for having the exact same position as the Republicans. In fact Palin had to correct Biden when he tried to say different, and when challenged Biden capitulated half heatedly that marriage was between one man and one woman.
As long as that stranger wasn't Ted Kennedy!

The Homo group are just a means to the end for the Marxists. I will always call them useful stooges. Life produced by a man and a woman for the Marxists no longer has that level of significance that our culture has given it through the ages. This is a part of the Marxist strategy. Human life must no longer have that transcendent importance that sets it above the state. Human life is now the property of the state to define as it wants and to use as it sees fit.
