All Monday it was did Wanda Sykes, the first black woman and Lesbian to do the do for the White House Press Correspondents’ Dinner, go too far in insulting a bag of wind. Wait? Are we implying that the bag of wind means something or that the bag of wind has feelings, because believe me, the bag of wind has said worse about others on numerous occasions. (What the hell did Chelsea Clinton ever do to you, bag of wind?)
This is a controversy? A comedian sharing mean-spirited jokes about a mean-spirited bastard who uses his talk show to be as mean-spirited as possible to anyone who disagrees with him. Really? This is a controversy media?
O RLY?
More after the jump.
I’ll let my homie Negro Intellectual explain:
Sykes joked that she hoped Limbaugh’s kidneys fail, just as he has wanted our Commander-in-Chief to do holistically. Limbaugh’s continued calls for President Obama to fail in my opinion are tantamount to treason in many ways, if you really want to get serious about this. If I or any other person, particularly of African descent, had ever said anything like what Limbaugh has said (and continues to say) about President Obama, there would be a cry of outrage heard ’round the nation. At the very least a radio show that did so would be off the air and the host would likely be incarcerated (believe me that would find a way). “Traitor”, “Benedict Arnold”, “turncoat” and many other names would have been used to describe such a person or persons who acted in such a way. Remember what happened to rapper Kanye West when he said, that “George Bush doesn’t care about black people” on national television during Hurricane Katrina? Luckily he survived that, but he expressed a real sentiment in the African American community …
Sykes’ joke, aside from wanting Limbaugh’s kidney’s to fail, also includes a reference to Limbaugh as being one of the 9/11 hijackers, which is just an analogous labeling because of what many (including this blogger) perceive as his anti-American comments. Hoping for an administration to fail is just that. Limbaugh’s comments in accordance with Sykes’ joke make Limbaugh love this empire as much as the 9/11 terrorists did. When the Bush scandal erupted in the 2000 election, black and brown folk everywhere, along with all others who voted for Al Gore, had to take that one on the chin, rumbling under their breath like the cartoon characters Yosemite Sam or Elmer Fudd when they couldn’t catch Bugs Bunny. Regardless, we endured it.
So in the spirit of “O RLY?” feel free to use the comments section to point out all the ass hat things the suddenly untouchable Rush Limbaugh has said throughout the years about minorities, women, gays, Liberals, Democrats, private citizens, his fellow drug addicts (which he doesn’t want to be lumped in with, mind you), poor people and other folks he deems not worthy of any degree of respect and then chases it all down with the whole “I’m an entertainer” label that suddenly is being denied to Wanda Sykes for … being mean to an asshole.
Really? This is news? I’ll let Jon Stewart finish this off.

Again, feel free to share your examples of Limabugh’s habitual line stepping that lead you to wonder why anyone honestly gave a shit if the Sykes’ jokes were “too mean” below.
