Wanda Sykes Takes on The President's Critics at White House Correspondents Dinner
By Heather Saturday May 09, 2009 8:19pm

Sykes: But Mr. President you've had your fair share of critics. You know, even Sen. McCain. Sen. McCain gave you grief about the new helicopter that you didn't order. You know I think Mr. McCain is just a little bitter because he wanted to be in the new helicopter. Just tell Mr. McCain I'm sure if you asked nicely your wife will buy you a helicopter.

Rush Limbaugh, one of your big critics. Boy, Rush Limbaugh said he hopes this administration fails. Yeah. So you're saying I hope America fails. It's like I don't care about people losing their homes, losing their jobs, our soldiers in Iraq. He just wants the country to fail. To me that's treason. He's not saying anything differently than what Osama bin Laden is saying. You know, you might want to look into this sir but I think maybe Rush Limbaugh was the 20th highjacker but he was just so strung out on Oxycontin he missed his flight.

Rush Limbaugh, I hope the country fails. I hope his kidneys fail. How 'bout that? He needs a good waterboarding. That's what he needs.

Sean Hannity....Sean Hannity said he was going to get waterboarded for charity for our armed forces. He hasn't done it yet I see. You know talking about he can take a waterboarding. Please. Hey okay you might want to get waterboarded by someone you know or trust but let somebody from Pakistan waterboard him, or Keith Olbermann. Let Keith Olbermann waterboard him. He can't take a waterboarding.

I could break Sean Hannity just by giving him a middle seat in coach. Oh I need leg room!!

Dick Cheney...he's a scary man..scares me to death. I tell my kids, I say look if two cars pull up and one has a stranger and the other car has Dick Cheney...you get in the car with the stranger.

1. LOL. She was tremendous.

Secret Service: We just didn't know how much footwear they stock.

[Lerkfish]

3. I thought she said "footwear they stopped"

as a reference to how they keep telling us they have stopped plots that end up being bogus.

[EFerrari]

4. That's funny. I thought it was a ref to the bad WMD intel.

It was funny to see the SS guy frowning while the camera was on him.

The Tax Ball idea was right on!

[EFerrari]

9. You were right. I heard it again.

Damn, she went everywhere.

lol

[flor de jasmim]

14. Makes more sense - I also thought I heard "stocked"...

[Sanity Claws]

15. I thought she was referencing shoe throwing incidents

like the one W had in Iraq.

[Lerkfish]

2. I felt like wanda was channeling DU

does she post here?

[EFerrari]

5. If she doesn't, we need to recruit her.

"I hope America fails, I hope your kidneys fail, hows that?"

:rofl:

[Bozita]

6. Wanda, is that you?

[EFerrari]

7. (I have to admit, when I saw Rahm laughing his remote off

I hated him a little bit less. But, that was just for tonight. lol)

[Mind_your_head]

8. David Kelly, the DC "Madam" 's strange/untimely deaths......

Let's also remember Worthington ~ who Dick Cheney SHOT IN THE FACE....and then Worthington APOLOGIZED! APOLOGIZED for what????

Yep, kids. If two cars pull up and one is a stranger and one is Dick Cheney.....get in the car with the 'stranger'.

This is very "good"/true advice.

[RomanHoliday]

10. Especially since a kid would fit into Cheney's giant safe.

[Tarheel_Dem]

11. I'm sorry I missed it. But Wanda can expect the Whoopi Goldberg treatment..

for awhile. When the right gets a bee in it's bonnet, they threaten boycotts, and jeopardize people's livelihoods. They went after Goldberg and Danny Glover viciously.

[Mind_your_head]

12. Nah. People are much much smarter now.

NOBODY wants to get "shot in the face" and then have to publically apologize for it!

And as Worthington showed, NOBODY is "above" such treatment.

So "no". I don't see the goldberg/glover treatment 'happening'.

:thumbsdown: to your suggestion/fear mongering

[Tarheel_Dem]

13. I hope you're right. But I hear that Wanda is getting a new late night show?

I hope we've grown up since the early 2000's.

[Mind_your_head]

16. Wanda *hit it outta the park"......

:woohoo:
