Wanda Sykes Roasts Obama, Rips Limbaugh at Correspondents' Dinner

Wanda Sykes hits Obama, Biden, Pelosi, Bush, Palin, Michelle Obama, McCain, and Sean Hannity in her remarks at the White House Correspondents' Dinner on Saturday.

Sykes tore into Rush Limbaugh: "I think Rush Limbaugh was the 10th hijacker but he was so strung out on OxyContin he missed his flight. 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."

Limbaugh Uses Fargo Floods to Express Anti-Gay Disgust

As North Dakotans are forced from their homes and struggle with a flooding river, Republican Party leader Rush Limbaugh has other things on his mind.

Said Limbaugh: "I heard some top of the hour news and it made me feel uncomfortable. It's about the flooding in Fargo, North Dakota brought on by the melting snowpack and the icepack. (reading from news item) "As the Red River threatens to overflow, they're filling in the dikes." Isn't there a more appropriate word? Do we have to say, I mean, we don't have any dikes here. The 'dykes' are over there...They're filling in the dikes. Couldn't we change that to 'they're filling in the contingencies' or something?...We really need to change that word."

RNC Chair Michael Steele: Rush Limbaugh War was 'Strategic'

In an interview with CNN's Don Lemon, RNC Chair Michael Steele says his prolonged feud with Rush Limbaugh was part of a "strategic" master plan.

Says Steele: "If I do something there's a reason for it. It may look like a mistake, a gaffe. There's a rationale behind it."

He says the rationale behind his Rush Limbaugh plan was that he wanted to "see what the landscape looks like, see who yells the loudest. I want to know who says they're with me , but really isn't...It helps me understand my position on the chess board. It helps me understand you know, where the enemy camp is and where those who inside the tent are."

His master plan doesn't extend to his future political aspirations, apparently. Because he also says he's never thought of running for president, and if he does, it's because it's God's plan, not his.

I wonder what his "strategies" are behind his views on gays and abortion?

Helen Roddick, prosecuting, said: 'They were both in bed at night and then saw the front door was shaking.

Now, there are times when the press goes easier on or is more forgiving of someone, and I' say, How come he got a free pass?' But ultimately, I don’t feel resentful"
