Video: Obama Laughed At 9/11 And Kidney Failure Jokes, Now Officially Says They Weren’t Funny
The White House is claiming that Wanda Sykes’ jokes about Rush Limbaugh being part of the 9/11 conspiracy weren’t funny.
Despite the fact that Obama laughed.
WASHINGTON (AP) - The White House is keeping its distance from an entertainer’s joke comparing commentator Rush Limbaugh to a terrorist.
Presidential spokesman Robert Gibbs on Monday was asked for President Barack Obama’s reaction to the joke by comic actress Wanda Sykes at Saturday’s White House Correspondents’ Association dinner. Obama took part in the event. ...
Gibbs said the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks is a topic “better left for serious reflection than comedy.”
Here’s video of Sykes making her “jokes” about Limbaugh being the 20th hijacker and hoping that his kidneys fail.
On a related note, how is it that Limbaugh was the target of weeks out outrageously outraged outrage from the left/media by suggesting that he wants Obama to fail in advancing his liberal agenda, but nobody is outraged when Wanda Sykes says she wants his health to fail?
Update: Video of Gibbs added.
