I hope Rush Limbaugh's kidneys fail.

Those were the words spoken by Wanda Sykes at the White House Correspondants Dinner during her comedy routine. She also commented that Rush was probably "the 20th hijacker on 9/11, but was so maxed out on oxycodon he probably missed his flight."

Were these words over the top? Or is all fair in love and politics?

EDIT: I have to confess, I also hope his kidneys fail.

She's a comedian, just chill.

Yeah, those words were completeley unnecsary. Hoping someone's kidneys fail, no matter who it is, is awful.

Maybe slightly over the top, but I'm not complaining. Everyone is entitled to their beliefs, but Rush is one of the most unlikable guys out there, it always surprises me how popular he is. I am the exact opposite of Rush in every aspect.

Limbaugh has said absolutely terrible things (and I am a conservative) and many will feel he deserves this. Maybe so, but I do think she went over the top. I never agree with hoping someone will die.Saxsoon

Deserving for a man as incompetent and idiotic as Limbaugh. :Dedisni_edistuo

So, you do not agree with his views. Saying he deserves such? That's sick, man. I am a conservative. I never had such words for Clinton or Obama. Get a grip!

:lol:'d my ass off when I saw the title.

I'm sure Limbaugh will be thanking Sykes for providing him with fresh fodder for his show. He'll play the victim card, say things like "can't argue against me, so they resort to insults", and will play short little sound bites to get his listeners riled up.

She's a comedian, just chill.

My thoughts exactly!

um, wow.

As a conservative, I simple can't stand Rush. Even though he has some good points, the way he presents them is a complete turnoff. BARF!! With that said though, I believe she went too far. By hoping someone's kidneys fail, you are basically saying you want them to die. And the people who defend Wanda are hypocrits IMO. I don't see how you can complain about Rush, but then sink to his level by condoning what she said.

Other than that, I thought everything else was funny.

[QUOTE="Oblivionfan10"]I don't mind if it was a comedian, but when Obama said that Cheney was too busy to attend because he was writing his memoirs, tentatively titled: "How to shoot someone in the face and Torture someone" Little over the top. I will say however, that his comment: "Sasha and Maliya are grounded tonight.... you can't just take Air Force One for a joyride over Manhatten, we have to set some ground rules" was hilariousmfacek

Rush is a close-minded ignoramus. He defines himself as the pinnacle of conservatism, and if you disagree with him about anything you are no longer a conservative, and you no longer belong in the Republican party, because the Republican party must remain "pure".

She's a comedian, just chill.

He's a comdian as well. He loves the attention he gets. People get more worked up about Rush, then they do about all the jobs that left our country.

He's just expressing his opinion.

If you don't like him, don't listen to him.

Simple as that.

I'm not saying don't criticize him.

I mean that if you don't like him, don't support him by tuning into his show.

Say to Wanda "Do you want yours fail too?"

The best part of this is the fact that wanda sykes is a failed comedian that's speaking at a failure of a president's dinner about a very successful talk show host.

I don't get the hate for Rush Limbaugh, I honestly don't. I've listened to him and i've never heard him make the kind of vulgar, personal insults that have been thrown at him. And people who bag on him for his narcotic addiction need to get off their high horse. He took them for back pain, developed an addiction, and got help. Obama did coke to get high, so by what authority can anyone point the finger?fidosim

[QUOTE="Maniacc1"] Failed President? Wow... 2 and a half months in sure gives enough time to judge policies of a 4 year term. :roll:edisni_edistuo

And I'm talking about his economic theories in particular, namely keynesianism. One has to stand and wonder if Obama is even remotely aware of the devastating Austrian critiques of Keyensian economics.

Roasts are funny.

What isn't funny are the people in this topic going "I really hope his kidneys fail." That's sick.
