Wanda Sykes was back in Washington DC this past week and was interviewed by Metro Weekly. Sykes has no regrets for calling Rush Limbaugh a terrorist and wishing him dead at the White House Correspondents Dinner.
By the way… Barack Obama liked her dead Limbaugh jokes:
NewsBusters reported on this interview:
METRO WEEKLY: Do you ever worry about stepping out of bounds, about doing a joke that’s gone too far?
SYKES:I don’t worry about it. My barometer is that I don’t want to be mean spirited – just to attack someone for the sake of doing it. If you started it, I have a right to go after you. If you did something, I can go after you. But I want it to be about what you did and not just a personal attack or something.
MW: Which is where Rush Limbaugh comes in. You leveled several vicious – and I would agree in his case completely earned – jokes in his direction at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. You got some flak in the press for it. Looking back, do you regret saying those things about Limbaugh?
SYKES: Not at all.
MW: Do you feel the resulting flak was justified in any way?
SYKES: I missed the flak because I wasn’t even watching television over the next few days. We’d just got back home and I was focused on the babies. I heard there was a lot of flak. [Are we really supposed to believe this line?]
But I wouldn’t change anything. I just know a lot of people were in the room, and they were all laughing, so I think there’s a little hypocrisy there – people covering their ass.
