Wanda Sykes: Maybe Rush Limbaugh was the 20th hijacker

posted at 11:09 am on May 10, 2009 by Allahpundit

9/11 jokes comparing your political opponents to terrorists are very, very bad, except of course when they’re not. As Jim Treacher says:

Nothing better than smug lefties saying I have no sense of humor over a joke they’d be SCREECHING about if it targeted one of their own.

She goofed lewdly on Palin too, naturally; Breitbart has the video. According to the Hill, “Todd Palin and most of the guests at his table fell silent while other diners gasped and laughed.”

And all this time I thought she was an ugly, dumb guy with a weird haircut.

I was fooled.

IlikedAUH2O on May 11, 2009 at 4:49 AM

To the innocent darlings who are impressed with Wanda’s post at NASA and Yale (you didn’t mention that) and the fact that her dad was a Colonel, have you ever heard of Affirmative Action? Since KeithO (or teethO as I call him) makes fun of colleges attended, look up Wanda’s. I am sure they have numerous grads in high positions at Yale, NASA and Microsoft.

Did you mention that President George W. Bush appointed her to NASA while doubling the accouting budget? And insofar as her father (the alleged) Colonel was concerned, numerous killers hsd decent psrents and a DD 214 makes nobody an automatic patriot, a saint or an expert on parenting.

Finally, David Feherty wrote the following in a Dallas Magazine lately and was condemmed by many leaders in Texas, CBS, the PGA and the offices of the three varmits mentioned:

If you gave any U.S. soldier a gun with two bullets in it, and he found himself in an elevator with Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and Osama Bin Laden, there’s a good chance that Nancy Pelosi would get shot twice, and Harry Reid and Bin Laden would be strangled to death.”

I mourn for the Death of Dignity in the White House. Does anyone take Taliban’s crawl towards Islamabad seriously? Are the poverty stricken that the left trotted out during the campaign doing better now? Are you happy with Obama’s original promise to withdraw in 90 days? Are you New York lemmings who voted for him proud he buzzed your city with no regard of the horrible memories of 9/11? Then jokes about it on open mic night? Are the Isreali’s who voted for him proud of his hard stance ……toward Israel? Are the middle-classers who were promised “relief”…relieved?

malkinmania on May 11, 2009 at 5:33 AM

Gawd. What a train wreck.

The first job of a comedian is to be funny.

gridlock2 on May 11, 2009 at 5:36 AM

Not to overthink this thing, but Wanda Sykes has made a reasonably good living over the years being the “voice of authentic blackness” in a lot of B-movies and bad sitcoms, written by people who have not a clue about black culture. The resulting programming is bland and white-bread, so they insert Wanda Sykes, with her wise-cracking nonsense, and she gives them instant credibility as being either authentically black, or at least in touch with the black community.

It speaks volumes that the Obama White House felt the need to go to Wanda Sykes for exactly the same purpose.

gridlock2 on May 11, 2009 at 5:56 AM

I’m boycotting Applebee’s baby!
Wait, Applebee’s sucks so I’m already boycotting them.

carbon_footprint on May 11, 2009 at 7:09 AM

Its reprehensible this woman said these things. She is a remarkably stupid person, and the president is even more of a moron for laughing at her statements.

If he had any brains at all he would have stood up and walked out.

Hoping Hussein fails absolutely does not mean anyone wants the country to fail. That statement is absurd on its face. Hussein is not the country.

The only way for our country to succeed is for Hussein to fail. Epically. His clown posse administration and his own ineptitude guarantee a dark circus of calamity and failure.

What is cause for concern is the fact that tin horn dictators get really nasty when they crash and burn.

dogsoldier on May 11, 2009 at 7:29 AM

The only thing missing was the obligatory shots of the minorities in the audience slapping their knees, standing and laughing too hard, fanning each other in exagerated gestures like the shuck n jive stereotypes on the Comedy Def Jam series.

Alden Pyle on May 11, 2009 at 8:05 AM

She is Gay,Black and Female. You cant get any moral superior than that. She could say Rush was ripping babies out their mothers wombs and using their cells to give him eternal life. Oh wait that would make the Marxist “like” him.

Wanda is gay? Good thing that. Blind Melon Chitlin would touch that nasty a$$.

SKYFOX on May 11, 2009 at 8:20 AM

Liberals always over-reach.

Sykes makes a point to attack Rush’s addiction to prescription drugs, but ignores Obama’s use of illegal drugs, cocaine….

TN Mom on May 10, 2009 at 4:07 PM

You are completely over reaching – he said he used the drug years ago, a few times in high school. Rush Limbaugh addiciton is one of a grown man is realatively current times.

Your comment sounds like the POTUS is using today which is misleading and hardly fair & balanced.

Shame on you. As an American you should know better.

AprilOrit on May 11, 2009 at 8:25 AM

Is she related to Maxine Waters?

AprilOrit

How are you sure that TOTUS isn’t still using cocaine today. Because he said so? Given the measure of that slimey POS, it’s not unreasonable to assume he still does a line now and then. Yes, I think the absolute worst of him. Just given the past 100+ days alone, give me one (valid) effing reason why I shouldn’t.

SKYFOX on May 11, 2009 at 8:31 AM

Too bad she didn’t say anything about Scareforce One doing strafing runs over NY. Or bonehead walking into a damn wall thinking it was a door. I dunno, maybe he is on some kind of drugs. Limbaugh got help for his issue.

eh she’s an entertainer to them and gave them what their emaciated brains needed.

johnnyU on May 11, 2009 at 8:55 AM

AprilOrit on May 11, 2009 at 8:25 AM

“relatively current times”

Throw me another line, because that one’s already broke. You’re in no position to lecture anyone, least of all on being balanced, on which you have already forfeited the argument.

FWIW: Didn’t Bill Maher – another entertainer – wish VP Cheney would have died in a terrorist attack?

This whole “they’re just entertainers” defense whenever some lefty sticks their feet in their mouths is a crock of crap.

Ryan Gandy on May 11, 2009 at 8:56 AM

Political hatred and extremism…hmmm. Sure there isnt a one liner in those HS bulletins about her?

johnnyU on May 11, 2009 at 9:01 AM

You gotta love the left – taking a comment made by a conservative out of context, expanding it’s ‘meaning’ and then calling him morally equivalent to terrorists, and then expressing the hope he will die and suggesting he should be waterboarded. To find a ‘conservative’ expressing such things you have to go to teh internetz or pretend to hear it at a Palin rally – such thoughts from the left are made in plain day in front of cameras.

Also, does this mean that the left doesn’t really think waterboarding is torture? It’s bad to use it on KSM but on Limbaugh it’s ok. I guess we know who liberals think their real enemies are.

gwelf on May 11, 2009 at 9:03 AM

By now, it has been way too publicized what Rush said for anyone to pretend that he said he hopes the country fails.

jeffn21 on May 11, 2009 at 9:03 AM

uh yeah getting addicted to pain killers prescribed by a doctor is just like using cocaine and other recreational drugs…sigh…

Not only is it not know if the ONE is still using cocaine or not (I haven’t seen a drug test result, have you???) Rush went to a rehab place and got off the drugs, YEARS ago. obama used illegal drugs which someone possiably died to supply him with, and Rush abused legal drugs proscribed to him, at least to start with.

You really can’t see the difference???

sonofdy on May 11, 2009 at 9:20 AM

So much stupid in such a little paragraph.

Obama used cocaine back at high school or university? Who cares.

Obama uses cocaine now? Prove it.

Rush went to rehab? Who cares.

” obama used illegal drugs which someone possiably died to supply him with”
–ooooooh! Sounds spicy! Tell us more!

Rush got addicted to prescription drugs is less immoral or wrong or something than someone getting addicted to drugs because it was a prescription? Who cares. Maybe in that cave you live in news hasn’t trickled in to you that America treats drug users all the same: like criminals.

I don’t really, but when you bring up Rushes addiction…

I can’t. Given the logic used on bush for the last 8 years and his drinking and possiable drug use, that makes obama a hard core cocaine user. He must take a drug test to clear that up.

Rush went to rehab? Who cares.

Give the vast number of lefties like you who attack him for it. YOU DO.

I never brought up Rush’s addiction nor have I ever attacked him for it.

You fail to see the irony of the right being so anti-drug use and so pro-incarceration of drug users yet they give Rush, an admitted/rehabbed heavy drug user, a free pass because the drug use was an abuse of a prescription as opposed to an abuse with drugs supplied by a dealer. Talk about a massive bullsh*t rationalization. That is what the left craps on Rush for: hypocrisy, and the hypocrisy of the right who look the other way for him but not ordinary people who made the exact same bad decisions only they got their drugs from the guy on the corner.

Keep on being stupid. You’re good at it.

She goofed lewdly on Palin too, naturally

;

I watched the clips and thought: Sodom and Gomorrah

Not for the jokes, but for the audience acceptance including the President.

The Palin remark was beyond wrong. I guess this goes into the Smithsonian, the President of the United States laughing at a public venue at a penis-in-intercourse joke used to mock a female opponent’s stand on abstinence

The Obama crowd, polticians, newsmen, syncophants and supporters have created a degraded image of the Presidency.

JFK had a respectable public demeanor. There were no intercourse jokes at the risque Marilyn Monroe Happy Birthday event. JFK played some bad games in private but presented dignified (and often clever) public behaviour

If you elect a President who follows the preachings of G-d D–n America, you get a G-d D–n President

Sadly this crowd is self affirming so they cannot see themselves as others may see them: degenerates

The left only objection to water boarding is that it must be against their enemies. So much becomes clear.

I dunno, I keep looking for responsible leadership to appear in the black commuuuunity and all I can ever come up with are Dr. Walter Williams (North Philly. Yeah!) and Dr. Thomas Sowell, the smartest man in the world. Certainly not this Wanda Woman. I knew another Wanda of color from years ago. Much more on the ball than this cretin, brains-wise. And a lot funnier too. A lot funnier. Too bad an entire race can be smeared by our shallow media gatekeepers and their degenerate ideals of blackness.

The push from liberals to redefine Patriotism continues. To liberals, being loyal to our country is like being a 20th hijacker. To liberals, claiming that the Iraq war is lost like is being blood brothers with George Washington. We live in a bizarro world indeed. This is not the time to shut up though, but a time to start turning up the heat.

Bleed_thelizard on May 11, 2009 at 11:44 AM

1-On the drug aspect (Rush’s) I am gonna wait for his broadcast because it will make waves.

2-On the drug aspect (on The One’s) the only people that may know are the bottom-of-the-barrel Chicago thugs, and drug addicts. I read a post but these days, of course you cannot believe anything anybody is typing ;D

3-KUDOS FOR BECK!!! Will watch this pm.

4-Out of respect for the people attending an event like this, there is a v e r y fine line that should not be crossed. No way no how you can degrade or put down a public official, chosen by the people of their state, so others mock and sneer at them or their spouses. Todd Palin did not deserve that; did not belong in that environment to begin with, and to put down his wife is the same as doing that to his whole family and the people of Alaska.

5-ITA; I want the country to succeed and O to fail. Haven’t seen the vids b/c I can only stand so many kiss a$*es.

Griz on May 11, 2009 at 11:55 AM

647 comments. I don’t have time to read thru them all, so if this was expressed, my apologies. lol

When I heard this on the news this morning, I was slack jawed. I couldn’t believe that Wanda said that. Joke , or not, it was in very poor taste, and shouldn’t have been said. However, I’m sure it won’t bother Rush a bit. He’s not thinned skin, like some others.

That being said, I was more taken back by Obama himself. That he didn’t find this contemptible, on behalf of one of his American citizens, that he’s sworn to protect, is an outrage. He laughed, and not just a chuckle. It was said he had a good hearty laugh over it. That is WRONG Mr.Obama. Whether, or not someone voted for you, agrees with you, or even likes you, you are their president. You represent us. For you to laugh at a joke such as that, is to be shamed. You no longer hold any validity with me, nor integrity, and you are NO LEADER!!!

capejasmine on May 11, 2009 at 11:55 AM

I was shocked at first to see a United States president sitting there grinning like the Cuba Gooding character in the film “Radio”. One would hope that the person occupying the oval office woulf have some sense of right and wrong and not allow himself te be made into a caricature of Mr. Bojangles but then I started thinking about his socialist agenda, Geithner, Emanuel, Napolitano, Pelosi, Reid, the 25 DVDs, his apologies for America to the people who would destroy us, etcetera. His actions were consistent with the rest of the pratfalls of the first 100 days.

I sure hope people wake up before we are truly FUBAR.

Dukehoopsfan on May 11, 2009 at 12:08 PM

the drug use was an abuse of a prescription as opposed to an abuse with drugs supplied by a dealer.

Okay, Dave:
A person who abuses illegal drugs committed a crime to get them. (By definition, since the drug was illegal.)
A person who abuses prescription drugs did not commit a crime to get them. (By definition, since the drug was legally prescribed.)
See the difference?
In both cases, if the person becomes addicted, they should seek treatment and should not be condemned for the simple fact of having become addicted.
However, that does not mean that the person who took illegal drugs should get away with that crime with no consequences.

strangelet on May 11, 2009 at 10:04 AM

Why must everyone bring up a drug addiction, that’s been kicked years ago, and not feel it right, and fair, to ones argument, to bring up Obama’s drug use? Clintons use of marijuana. Both of which, were illegal.

It really doesn’t validate you, or your argument, when you can’t even acknowledge that drug use goes on both sides, and addictions, are a disease.

I can see what a sympathetic, person you are not. Why are you a member of the party of tolerance, when you show none for others?

capejasmine on May 11, 2009 at 12:22 PM

Obama’s inaugural address, quoting scripture: “It is time to set aside childish things.”

To Obama, the US Constitution, the Rule of Law and Contractual Agreements are such childish things to be set aside.

On the plus side, liberals now admit that Ann Coulter is hilarious. No jokes are out of bounds, right? There’s no such thing as too partisan, right? Hate is the new tolerance, right?

JohnJ on May 11, 2009 at 1:23 PM

Heh. Rush has yet to mention one iota of this circus on his show today. I wonder how many libs have been tuned in the whole time waiting for a nuclear response…

He’s playing them like a fiddle.

Cuffy Meigs on May 11, 2009 at 1:30 PM

Cuffy Meigs, maverick muse

Rush has been playing a clip from Obama’s inaugural address, quoting scripture “It is time to set aside childish things” before and after commercial breaks, without comment. Brilliant.

Cuffy Meigs on May 11, 2009 at 1:30 PM

Exactly! I think he is playing his cards correctly. This will confuse some people in the media since they are looking for a fight which would give them more ratings. Rush will probably comment after getting their reaction to the incident and when he sees they are not letting Sykes and Obama have it for these type of comments, it would just expose how much in the tank they are for him.

“I didn’t like the joke about my mom [Cindy],” the young McCain told us after the dinner. “Why talk about her at all? I (didn’t mind the jokes) about my dad, but leave my mom out of it. It really wasn’t in good taste.”

Wanda should have her kidneys fail, or be on a hijacked plane flown into a building, or is a terrorist. And as for Oxy, Wanda is probably so stoned most of the time that she’s….The Pot calling the Kettle black

Turnabout is Fair Play……..

( personal advice to Ms Sykes: You stopped being funny about 7 or 8 years ago. Check with the NSA to see if your old job is available )

Hannity says the First Couple gave Sykes a “thumbs up”. Now Hannity just said that Obama may be trying to distance himself from Sykes’ remark a little bit.

The wheels on the bus go thump…thump…thump.

Red Eye, or whatever comes after it, needs to hire Treach and AP as writers. Just sayin…

The video won’t load for me but the picture tells me what I need to know — Big Guy laughed because TOTUS told him to. TOTUS is clearly within Big Guy’s sight. We all know that BO is not responsible for any lines his teleprompter directs.

Head’s up……..Miss CA has just been dethroned.

Oh, no he din’t!

Why is everyone who is defending /justifying this crass excuse for a woman saying that ” she is an entertainer and comedian”? Isn’t Micheal Richards ( Kramer) an entertainer/comedian ?
Seeing Hussain grinning his heart out while all this was going on, made me puke. But then he is a veteran of Jermiah Wrights”s church ! And he has himself documented his position on “white man”
What a hateful , undignified , vitriolic evening at taxpayers expense

And another thing, my mother died of renal failure.

Sykes is a no-talent hack. I am this close to wishing that on her.

ladyingray on May 11, 2009 at 4:26 PM

Meghan McCain says that Sykes is funny, and she’s totally hip and with it…

Does the bitter old maid of the bitter old dude know the difference between funny and stupid ?

macncheez on May 11, 2009 at 4:33 PM

Maybe you’re just a crack ho, Wanda Sykes…….

HornetSting on May 11, 2009 at 4:35 PM

What a wonderful evening it was … I wish I could have been there. I am thinking though that maybe the GOP should come up with some GOP hate crime, afterall there is only 20% of you all left.

Monkei on May 11, 2009 at 2:59 PM

I heard you WERE THERE, monkei…..didn’t I see you sneak out of the podium……

Seems the white house did not think she was funny either trolls

Yes Strange Grow Fins DCWVU that means you

The old funny and clueless double threat. You’ve got it.

Dave Rywall on May 11, 2009 at 9:52 AM

Wow great intellectual response.

Even the trolls on this board must conclude that Obama and his friends are disgusting, inhumane pigs.

rplat on May 11, 2009 at 5:39 PM

fricking tar baby this is. They bring him up intentionally knowing what it causes on the right.

Meanwhile it diverts attention away from what they are really doing to destroy our country and we get sidelined by some comment against Rush.

Ignore their ad hominems and attack their ideology, not their childish remarks. We win if we rise above them.

Be careful “O my strange little brother”, or you’ll end up with a big pain in the gulliver. You’d prolly crark and creech about that too and be lookin’ for a pletcho to platch on.

Oldnuke on May 11, 2009 at 6:06 PM

That was a real kick and good for laughs and lashings of the old ultraviolent.
But…you should chillax my little conservo droogies.
Early times.
Initiative comes to thems that wait.

capejasmine on May 11, 2009 at 12:22 PM

hahaha…..the very best thing…..would be to laugh and then make fun of them.
Getting all pissy and holier-than-thou about tubby bombastic junkies just reinforces the image that you are humorless mouthbreathers.
