If you've ever had the misfortune of turning on the TV while Wanda Sykes is trying to tell a joke, you already know she's not funny. Tonight, she made clear at the White House Correspondents' Dinner how utterly vile she is, too:
"You've had your fair share of critics. ... Rush Limbaugh said this administration fails. ... He just wants the country to fail. To me that's treason. He's not saying anything different than what Osama Bin Laden is saying. You might want to look into this, sir, because I think Rush Limbaugh was the 20th hijacker 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 about that? He needs a good waterboarding, that's what he needs."
Apparently, Obama laughed at this joke (see this video). You stay classy, Mr. President. Via The Hill:
"[President Obama] told me I did a great job," Sykes said. "The first lady said the same thing. I got a well done from the president, I'm on cloud nine."
