"Tonight Show" host Jay Leno defended comedian Wanda Sykes who recently caused a stir with her 9/11 joke about Rush Limbaugh at the White House correspondents dinner. Sykes will be guesting on the "Tonight Show" during Jay's last week as host.
Jay said, "She's very funny. I thought she was fine. She didn't use any four letter words. I love Wanda. I think she's really clever and one of the funniest and really original faces out there. It's the same type of material you would do on our show."
In her comedy routine, Wanda Sykes suggested that Rush Limbaugh might have been the 20th 9/11 hijacker but was so stoned on Oxycontin he missed his flight and she also hoped that Rush Limbaugh's kidneys might fail (In reference to Limbaugh's hoping President Obama fails).

Rush Limbaugh says whatever he wants about everyone. Can't he take a joke!
I agree with Jay Leno.

This is a whole lot about nothing. It was a joke.

Jay Leno is a BO and gay backing idiot. I hope his kidneys fail, along with Wanda SPIKES. Hey, it's just a joke! Get over it liberals!

Umm, the joke was on Limbaugh, not on liberals. Maybe you need to "get over it."

Ok plain and simple if Mr. Limbaugh who if he leaned anymore to the right might fall out of his chair, needs to be able to take criticism if he is going to sit here and criticize any one or anything who he may not agree. So basically any one who lives in a million dollar glass house, i guess shouldn't throw stones lol.
