Wanda Sykes, one of my favorite comics of all time and the first openly gay headliner of the event, got laughs and boo/groans in equal measure at the White House Correspondents Dinner this weekend. Listening to how uncomfortable she made people was just delicious. It would have been nice to see her without her head so far up Obama’s butt like the rest of the compliant ass kissy media, but the digs she did get in there were pretty funny. Ragging on his lame gift of an iPod to the Queen: “What are you gonna give the Pope, a bluetooth?”
Question: When do Bush jokes become old? Obama has done PLENTY to rag on. Wanda’s probably taken it further than any other wussy comic so far, but what gives? We’ve already heard all the damn Bush jokes we can take!! Obama’s turn to get taken to town. Too much to Hope for? Hopefully the country will loosen up soon. Respect and awe are BOOORRIIINNNNNG. Check out Wanda’s routine after the jump and weigh in.
