NewsBuster Tim Graham asked Saturday if comedienne Wanda Sykes, appearing at the annual White House Correspondents' Association Dinner, would really make fun of President Barack Obama or go all gentle. Well, the answer is likely worse than any of us could have imagined, for Sykes used this platform to attack conservatives rather than the person who is historically roasted at this event. In fact, her only real knocks on Obama were that he's constantly being photographed with his shirt off, and that if he screws up, everybody will blame it on "the half white guy!" After some respectful and largely...

In a distasteful string of “jokes” (if you consider this funny), President Obama is seen laughing it up at the White House Correspondents Dinner. Wanda Sykes is delivering the punch lines. Jokes about Drugs, Kidney Failure, and water boarding…. Is this the best they have? Wow…. The video says it all:

In an attempt to be relevant, Wanda Sykes (a D-list so-called celebrity) accuses Rush Limbaugh of being the 20th hijacker and then goes on to wishing that his kidneys fail.

Here is unbelievable and disgraceful video of Wanda Sykes - a woman who is supposed to be a comedian - savaging Rush Limbaugh at the White House Correspondents Dinner last night as President Obama looked on and laughed. Here is what he found so funny: 1. She accuses Limbaugh of perhaps being the "20th hijacker who missed his flight because he was strung out on Oxycontin" simply because he does not want Obama's policies of socialism to succeed. Obama laughed as she made the pathetic comments. 2. She also said she hopes Limbaugh's "kidneys fail" since he does not want...

What was Wanda Sykes thinking? Perhaps more to the point, what was President Barack Obama thinking when he laughed and smiled as the comedienne wished Rush Limbaugh dead? Although the Left is reporting her White House Correspondents' Dinner speech as "taking shots" at Limbaugh and mocking everyone, that's a gross misrepresentation of what turned into a hateful and disgusting diatribe. She then concluded: "Rush Limbaugh, I hope the country fails, I hope his kidneys fail, how about that? He needs a good waterboarding, that's what he needs." Obama seemed to think this bit was pretty hilarious, grinning and chuckling and...

/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.”

Obama Likes Wanda Sykes Joke About Rush Limbaugh — ‘I Hope His Kidneys Fail To think he is O,K, with that type of humor! Wishing death on someone. Outrages and of course if a republican had sat thru that there would be hell to pay.

...Sykes dropped her sitcom impishness and was all-Wanda, all the time. In the line that drew gasps from the posh crowd, she attacked Rush Limbaugh for saying he hoped the President's policies would fail. "That's treason," she said. "That's not saying anything different from what Osama bin Laden is saying... I think maybe Rush Limbaugh was the 20th hijacker but he was so strung out on Oxycontin he missed his flight." Yow. "Too much?" she asked rhetorically.

In the continuing, disgusting saga of liberal talk show host Michael McGee, Sr.’s attack on conservative talk show host Charlie Sykes’ mother, McGee confirmed his statement on Fox 6 news and compared Sykes to Hitler and Satan. Then, he stated the only thing he regretted was that “his stringy haired ho son wasn’t layin’ there with her” when Katherine Sykes died in a fire. (Video)

Many people live extraordinary lives. Many have extraordinary deaths. But very, very few can hope to save the world 90 years after they have passed away. One such man was the remarkably colourful Sir Tatton Benvenuto Mark Sykes, one of those larger-than-life Victorians who lived in an era when great men really could, and did, change the shape of the world. Sir Mark Sykes was a baronet, a diplomat, a father of six children, Tory MP, a senior general in the Army and a skilled negotiator. A close friend of T.E. Lawrence (of Arabia) and Chaim Weizmann - who went...

The troops respond to Lurch!

WASHINGTON - A group of GIs showed they are smart enough to take on condescending Sen. John Kerry - by deploying a hilariously misspelled sign mocking the failed presidential candidate's comments about their education. "Halp us Jon Carry - We R stuck hear n Irak," read the sign, which was apparently the brainchild of a group of service members from the Minnesota National Guard. The picture was first revealed yesterday on the blog Web site of Milwaukee talk radio host Charlie Sykes, who said he got it from a listener who had a buddy in the unit. The picture soon...

[July 4th's Note: I am posting the excerpt of Judge Diane Sykes' speech as it appears on Charlie Sykes' blog. For Diane Sykes' full speech, click here. This speech is about the Wisconsin Supreme Court, but the principles translate perfectly to the national debate of the direction of the judiciary.] Given the implications for public policy and the law, the Wisconsin’s Supreme Court’s shift toward unrestrained judicial activism should have been the subject of extensive media coverage and debate within legal circles. So far that hasn't happened. At least until last night, when Federal Appeals Court Judge Diane Sykes delivered...

FRIDAY, Oct. 22, 2004, 2:51 p.m. COMPASSIONATE LIBERALS: UPDATE (AGAIN) Note: On Thursday night, an antiwar protestor in Milwaukee spit on a returned Iraqi war veteran, Marine Major Jerry Boyle. Boyle is a Republican candidate for Congress in Milwaukee. Boyle served in Operation Iraqi freedom and was posted to Baghdad shortly after the invasion. Although he is an underdog in the race, he has shown up for every campaign forum, where he's won high marks for his civility and willing to face hostile audiences... On my show this morning, Boyle described himself as "livid" over the incident, but had restrained...

MILWAUKEE, WI (Talon News) -- According to a number of Republican insiders and a prominent Milwaukee radio talk show host, Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Diane Sykes is going to be President Bush's nominee for a vacant seat on the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago. Mark Belling, Milwaukee's top talk show host and a regular fill-in for Rush Limbaugh's national radio show, revealed on his Monday afternoon talk show that his sources in the Republican Party confirmed the selection of Sykes. Sykes was one of four finalists recommended by the Federal Nominating Commission of the State Bar of...

IN OUR NAME STANDING UP FOR WHAT'S RIGHT Last year a statement headlined "Not in Our Name" denouncing military action in the War on Terror was signed by Hollywood celebrities, activists and a variety of public figures. This is our answer. An open letter from Charlie Sykes and Jeff Wagner to the men and women of the U.S. Armed Forces: Let there be no doubt in your minds as you embark on this mission that you carry the hopes, the prayers, and the gratitude of your country with you. Every generation learns anew that freedom carries a steep price....
