Wanda Sykes - Washington Correspondents Dinner

[E30 Cabrio]

November 4, 1994 quote from then-USA Today columnist and Pacifica Radio talk show host Julianne Malveaux on US Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas:

"You know, I hope his wife feeds him lots of eggs and butter and he dies early like many black men do, of heart disease. Well, that’s how I feel. He is an absolutely reprehensible person."

Gotta love those peace loving, tolerant liberals...

[TexasTerp]

I love the bs double standard that these liberal comedians set, "I hope [Rush limbaugh's] kidney's fail...." and saying that she hopes he dies is perfectly acceptable as "comedic commentary" but to criticize Obama for being an inexperienced, embarrassment of a President is apparently treason. She (and all the rest of the kiss ass socialist liberals) can go to hell.

You guys really need to take your county back.

My response to that is who the fuck is Julianne Malveaux?

I guess if I was black I could call Sykes what she really is./sarcasm

I'm not black, and I will call her what she is. She's a mean spirited, egotistical, arrogant hack who can't tell the difference between a joke and a bad attitude.

There are two things that bug me about that outburst of hers.

She thinks that asking for the death of somebody and calling them the 20th terrorist is a joke. It isn't. It's defamatory and it is slander. Funny stuff would have been some jokes about big ears, teleprompters, and freaky dogs. That's a roast. Or even self deprecating humor would have worked. Instead, she used the pulpit as a chance to attack. Jokes about Limbaugh would have been OK if she hadn't been so incredibly mean spirited about it. Something along the lines of "It's amazing folks, there's no hot air left in Washington... Rush Limbaugh has sucked it all up."

The second thing that bugged me is the laughs she was getting on that stuff. What a bunch of sycophantic losers. People should have got up and left the room.

Wah, wah, wah. Yet another thread turned giant sob fest. You people are like a pack of divorced women. Bitter, cynical, hateful waffleswaffleswaffleswaffless.

I can't wait for social health care. It's coming soon and the best part about it is knowing that all of you will be crying like little bitches.

You don't see a problem with it?
I'm sure you would have your panties in a bunch if a conservative comedian made the exact same joke about a liberal.

[Danny]

Wanda Sykes is funny because she black.

Fuck no I wouldn't. Unlike certain other people, I can take a joke.

A liberal black feminist economist.

My post was a parody to show the double-standards displayed by some people and how it is acceptable to s ay certain words depending on who says it and in what setting and the hypocrisy of it.

What I posted was in jest, thus the "sarcasm" tag.

Speaking of self-deprecating humor, when the Bush admin would have these dinners, Bush and the comedians would poke light-hearted fun at Bush, and so would Bush. He would make fun of himself.

Then you get these guys and it's a hate-fest. Wishing death and misery on dissenters and still taking shots at Palin's kid.

Real classy.

Then you have Obama and his arrogance and his falsely inflated opinion of himself. It's not funny, it's just delusional.

One thing he did say that was spot on, and it was to the media:

"Many of you covered me. All of you voted for me."

[E30 Cabrio]

Fuck no I wouldn't. Unlike certain other people, I can take a joke.

Tell a few 9-11 jokes to people who lost a loved one on 9-11-2001 and then ask them "What's wrong? Can't you take a joke?"

Of course, the "Special Olympics" crack and the recent flyover of NYC which induced panic in thousands of New Yorkers shows just how sensitive and in touch Obama is with the people.

I swear, if Hitler and Hussein were still alive and in power, Obama would be shaking their hands and bowing to them as well.

As usual you the miss point.

The golf commentator (can't think of his name) gets fucking exonerated for the crack about military men killing Reid and Pelosi, but it's OK for Sykes to make comments about the right because of the media bias.

Obama gets creamed for making a special olympics joke, which WAS fucking hysterical, but then is allowed to laugh at jokes in which someone is called a drugged out terrorist and wished death upon.

It's not about being able to take a joke, it's about the blatanly obvious double standard.

You fucking incompetent, worthless stoner.

[jrhaile]

The 9/11 thing really bugged me. It's one of those things that imo, isn't to be joked about by ANYONE. I don't give a shit who you are, you don't "joke" about it. And if Obama, sitting 4ft away had any BALLS at all he wouldn't be laughing and would have stood up and made a statement. Instead, he sat there chuckling like the fuckstain of a human he is.

I understand that he was just playing along with it and didn't want to cause a scene. I get that, but he of ALL people in this country should have stood up and not allowed that to continue. It's not a left vs right thing, it's a MORAL issue and he lacks that in all departments.

I hadn't heard about the special olympics thing; so... this is what youtube came up with:

My question is - is he wearing earrings?
