Wanda Sykes at the DC Correspondents dinner
Kristi and I just got done watching Wanda Sykes' comedy speech at the DC Correspondence dinner. She followed Obama's speech. Ms. Sykes' speech was some of the most rough and tumble political humor I have ever heard. But it was hilarious, controversial, and right on point.
Afterward, MSNBC interviewed Pat Buchanan, who seemed aghast at what Ms. Sykes had said. He said she went "over the top." Oh really?
Was Mr. Buchanan offended because an intelligent and informed African American female spoke her mind? That's what it seemed like to me. And then this Ms. Bebitch, a stodgy white female, agreed with Buchanan.
Both of them need to grow up and get off their white horse. Ms. Sykes, your humor was awesome! Buchanan, your commentary sucked. What a downer you can be. And Ms. Bebitch, I know little about you, but I'm disappointed.
Thank goodness for people like Ms. Sykes who have the guts to speak the truth.
