Wanda Sykes Knocks It Outta the Park at WHCA Dinner

Oh Wanda, you killed ‘em. Obama was a hard act to follow, but you really went for it! From race ("that half white guy") to ambition (the dig at Nancy Pelosi), to taxes and really jabbing at Rush and Cheney, Wanda kept it as edgy as you can be at such an event. She didn’t drop an F-bomb and she didn’t bring up LGBT issues–though her presence there was statement enough–but she delivered some jaw dropping awesomeness.

It’s shame that Wanda didn’t bring up LGBT issues. She allowed to host but at the federal level is not allowed to marry, or serve her country. It’s really sad. It was ok for Obama to joke about marrying Axlerod in Iowa two straight men, but a lesbian doesn’t mention equality issues. I’m really tired of window dressing and symbolism.
