You know I'll cop to enjoying Wanda Sykes in the past. I thought she had a good delivery, a few funny jokes. I've sat through her dreary HBO special.Her performance at the Washington Dinner this past weekend , however, was the pits. She's gotten increasingly mean-spirited in her routines since the November election - especially on Leno's show.
Her stand-up was insipid and mean-spirited. I would have laughed at the jokes but there were none.
"If a stranger pulls up in a car and offers you a ride, and Dick Cheney does too, get in with the stranger."
Where's the joke? Vice President Cheney kept America safe for 8 years. I don't get it.
And its not for lack of trying or because I have no sense of humor. I write comedy. I get paid for it.
BO laughed heartily at all of her jokes, which proves (not that I was looking for any more proof) what a bonehead he really is.
No one will ever accuse the libs of getting facts straight. But pronouncing that "Rush Limbaugh wants the country to fail" several times is a bald-faced lie. Rush never said that. So if you start with a false premise , how do you build on that ? Sykes said she wanted Rush's kidneys to fail. Is that funny?
I've witnessed this many times at hospital bedsides. Trust me, its not funny. Only an untalented pinhead like Sykes (and the aforementioned BO) would think it was.
Someone asked me tonight WHY i thought that liberals like Garofalo and Maher and Sykes and Belzer were so mean-spirited. I like to think its because they recognize that they are born losers. That they can't rely on facts or history or even common-sense so they have to strike back with whatever they have at their disposal : insults, names, and bald-faced lies.
Even the Speaker of the House - 3 heartbearts from the Presidency - has been shown to be a common liar (see waterboarding meetings in the news last week) so why should second and third rate comedians be forced to be accurate?
Announcing to the world that you're a lesbian is cool; overcoming a serious medication addiction is something to scoff at.
"Rush said he wants the country to fail!"
Did he? Really?
We both listened to the same broadcast and that's what you came away with?
Holy crap. I can't believe I actually reccommended your comedy to people at one time. What the hell was I thinking? (well at least i WAS thinking, and i guess that's where you and i part company)
