The GOP is not amused by the comments of comedian Wanda Sykes on Rush Limbaugh, the Republican Party's official unofficial spokesperson. Wanda Sykes unabashedly attacked the GOP gabber during her speech at the White House Correspondents Dinner in Washington DC over the weekend.
In the roast like speech Wanda Sykes calls Rush Limbaugh the "20th (911) hijacker" after referencing a comment he had made where he hoped the Obama administration failed. Sykes declared that hoping the Obama administration would fail was akin to hoping America would fail which would put Rush Limbaugh in the company of other anti-American thinkers like Osama Bin Laden.
Wanda Sykes then took a few personal jabs at Rush Limbaugh by stating that she "hopes his kidneys fail" and suggesting that he would have been the 20th 911 hijacker had he not been too high on Oxycontin.
While Wanda Sykes' speech earned laughs and applause at the White House Correspondents Dinner it has been attacked by Republican supporters who say the comedian, and soon to be late night talk show host, went too far.
Check out the Wanda Sykes - Rush Limbaugh White House Correspondents Dinner speech and decide for yourself.
Does anyone think that wishing someone kidney failure is funny? How anyone thought this was appropriate for this event is beyond me. However this is the same Administration that thought flying a 747 at low altitude over Manhattan, NY followed by an air force fighter plane was a good idea. As Hot Air stated, “Class made an exit with the Bush Administration.”
Then there was MC Wanda Sykes, who speculated that Rush Limbaugh was actually the 20th hijacker on 9/11 but missed his flight because he was high on oxycontin and she derided Sean Hannity for not living up to his pledge to be waterboarded for the troops. Of course this was after she wished that Limbaugh’s kidneys would fail.

I think Wanda should be horse whipped for even suggesting that someone have their kidneys fail. The Democrats are really pushing their agenda and bashing everyone else, but when it comes to fair play and its time to bash them, well, they get upset and scream discrimination. If they can't take the heat, get out of the U.S.A.
People had better wake up and look at what is happening to our country. I for one do not want to wake up to a Socialistic government.

"If they can't take the heat, get out of the U.S.A." - I agree. The question is do you? If yes is trully the case then why comment at all?!
"People had better wake up and look at what is happening to our country. I for one do not want to wake up to a Socialistic government." - If you haven't been concerned about this since somewhere around the end of the second world war, once again. Why complain now? The truth is your only whinning because Obama's face is on the machine. It's still a machine, it's always been a machine, it will always be a machine. Doesn't matter the party involved or who the president is, the agenda is the same. The agenda being excluding the public from the politcal process, taking power from the many and placing it in the hands of the few. I don't know if I'd label it socialistic but whatever floats your boat. My point is this... your not going to wake up to it. The move toward the end of freedom as we know it has been and will continue to occur while your wide awake every day of your life. It's been happening longer than you've been living. There is absolutely nothing you can do to stop it! Don't wake up and smell the roses now! Go back to your life of mindless assimilation or you might find yourself in Guantanamo!
