As is the custom, jokes abound(ed?). I thought Pres. Obama had remarkable comedic timing and told some very funny jokes aimed at a few people in BOTH PARTIES including himself (very important).
I guess the controversy came because of jokes Wanda Sykes told about Rush Limbaugh.
Here are excerpts:
WANDA SYKES, COMEDIAN: "Rush Limbaugh, one of your big critics -- boy, Rush Limbaugh said he hopes this administration fails. You know, so you're saying, I hope America fails. You're, like, I don't care about people losing their homes or jobs or our soldiers in Iraq. He just wants the country to fail. To me, that's treason. He's not saying anything different than what Usama bin Laden is saying. You know, you might want to look into this, sir, because I think maybe Rush Limbaugh was the 20th hijacker, but he was so strung out on Oxycontin, he missed his flight."
SYKES: "Rush Limbaugh! I hope the country fails? I hope his kidneys fail, how about that?"
Rush Limbaugh has said that he's not going to respond.
Did her jokes cross the line?
Some people are upset because the President laughed at the kidney joke.
