Yes, conservative media are predictably piling on Wanda Sykes for her witless, mean-spirited hope that Rush Limbaugh would die of kidney failure. I couldn't agree with the conservative commentators more. But let's not forget for one moment that Barak Obama sat just to her right, right where the camera could catch him laughing at the very unfunny joke. And all his spokesman could comment on today was not his boss or Sykes but on the inappropriateness trying to make funnies out of 911. (I agree of course, but that wasn't the point.)
It is true that Rush can be merciless when he has somebody (who he considers to be a fool) in his sites. But he has never, ever wished a miserable death upon anyone, let alone laughed about it.
From Jonah Goldberg of National Review Online: Syke's schtick was a cliche wrapped in a lefty talking point.
