Washington, D.C.
In her standup comedy routine at the White House Correspondence's Dinner with President Barack Obama and the First Lady in attendance, openly gay comedian Wanda Sykes drew criticism from both the left and right for her wishing Rush Limbaugh's kidneys would fail, an underhanded reference to his oxy-cotin addiction.
Critics are saying Sykes's hate filled comments even against the right-wing conservative Rush who wished for the failure of the Obama administration was uncalled for and borderline hate speech.
"And if not hate speech, it smelled of hypocrisy," voiced one critic. "Especially in the face of her recent public announcement commercials airing on TV allegedly promoting tolerance of homosexuality. But really, it's just the latest entry into Big Brother's 1984 political 'Newspeak Dictionary' of Obama's far left."
In that public announcement TV commercial recorded and aired before the controversy, Sykes lectures with ridicule a group of youth sitting at a restaurant table to refrain from using a popular campus phrase, "That's So Gay", to describe anything flamboyantly colorful, outside their ordinary social lexicon frequently employed among their peers, as juxtaposed to the use of the word dork, geek and nerd to convey the opposite.
"Miss Sykes was merely expressing one her God given First Amendment Rights to free speech like I was to exercise my protected right to freedom of religion," said Rev. Wright in a telephone interview in Sykes's defense. "And put that God Dammed [Rush Limbaugh] fat blubber mouth breathing mother [BLEEPER] breeder in his [BLEEPING] place once and for all without Final Rights given."
Nevertheless, Sykes has agreed to re-shoot the public announcement TV commercial promoting tolerance in light of her controversial comments.
"I'm doing it for the kids," said Sykes at the podium, explaining her decision to redo the TV commercial. "Besides, I got a new catch phrase that the kids can use that's not so hip but also not as insulting or insensitive to the homosexual community either. I got it right here so I'll go ahead and read it aloud to y-all. Now I worked really hard on it, taking me all last night to get it down on paper. So you tell what you think, okay? Here it goes: 'Kids, Don't Say That's So Gay. Oh, no. Say That's So Rush I Hope Your Kidneys Fail And You Die!"
Sykes went onto say that she thought her new catch phrase sounded a hell of a lot better at least to her than the original just "Kids, Don't Say That's So Gay" campaign slogan and challenged anyone to feel, think and especially say otherwise.
"I was thinking that maybe, just maybe," continued Sykes. "If I can get enough kids to say it, like in a mirror or something, it might come true. Ah, I don't know. Maybe that's just wishful thinking on my part. Oh and by the way, don't forget be tolerant of your fellow man, kids. And remember don't use the word Gay to describe anything Gay, unless you spell it GEIY, or something like that. Don't ask me how to pronounce it. I think its still a homophone -- That's doesn't mean what you think it means. It means it's going to sound the same no matter how you spell it. Trust me. In fact, forget about spelling it differently. Just don't use the word Gay, or any word that looks, sounds or quacks like a duck, especially if you happen to be talking about Gay duck. I heard Gay ducks have a very powerful political lobby in Washington, D.C. these days. And if you don't believe me, just ask any Page on Capitol Hill. He'll tell you -- If he can clear the feathers out of his throat to talk that is -- No wait. I just described what the government under Obama is continuing to do to all of us straight or otherwise by Clinton. Oh crap, I should have said that at the White House Correspondence's Dinner instead. Nah. That really would have been controversial."
