When I posted the above comment at lunch time, I did not know the whole story. I thought from what BTK said here she was just joking about what the photographers catch and don't catch. And I had seen her do a lot of funny stuff before.

And then a few hours passed.........

And just now I returned to this computer. And before I checked in here, I took a look at MSN where I read about what else Wanda Sykes said at the White House correspondents' dinner.

And now that I have all the information, I want to clearly say that I think that Wanda Sykes absolutely went too far.

I am not usually at a loss for words, but I cannot begin to come up with anything to truly describe how completely wrong I find it to be that Wanda Sykes made 9/11 into a joke. In doing so Wanda Sykes was offensive, disrespectful, and downright stupid.

And even though I am not a Limbaugh fan. Not even close. And even though Limbaugh is fair game and he knows it and thrives on any attention, Wanda Sykes went too far when she said she hoped his kidneys fail. That is not only tasteless. That is nothing more than an ignorant comment that just sounds angry and stupid. There are so many clever ways she could have joked about Limbaugh. Roasting somebody is one thing. Saying you hope somebody's kidneys fail is something else. Weird.

So anyway, I responded, first time, too soon, in this thread. I have not had the television on at all today and it was not until just now that I got the whole story on Wanda Sykes mouth at the dinner.

What's she doing for her next show? Those Helen Keller jokes that I hate so much. Wanda Sykes has lost her touch. Wanda Sykes has no class. And Wanda Sykes' mouth is no longer smart like I said this morning when I did not know......the rest of the story.

9/11 should never be comic fodder.
