The Wheels of Obama’s Bus Go Thump, Thump, Thump, Thump Over Wanda Sykes
It sucks to be Wanda Sykes right now. All that kissing up she did to the Obama’s at that White House Correspondence dinner was all for naught. Critics on the Right are howling over Sykes’ unfunny jokes about conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh during the dinner.
After laughing their butts off at Sykes’ jokes at the dinner, the Obama administration has now gone into full damage control mode, effectively distancing Obama from Sykes.
Thus, Sykes becomes the latest unsuspecting victim to get run over by Obama’s political wheels of No Change. I can’t stop laughingggg!
In his daily briefing Monday, Robert Gibbs distanced the president from comedian Wanda Sykes’ joke comparing Rush Limbaugh to a 9/11 hijacker at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner.
“I don’t know how the guests get booked,” Gibbs said, adding that he hadn’t “talked specifically” with [President Barack] Obama about Sykes’ crack. ??”I think there are a lot of topics that are better left for serious reflection rather than comedy. I think there’s no doubt 9/11 is part of that,” Gibbs continued.
At the correspondents’ dinner, which Obama attended Saturday, Sykes blasted Limbaugh for saying he hoped Obama’s administration would fail, joking: “I think Rush Limbaugh was the 20th hijacker, but he was just so strung out on Oxycontin he missed his flight.”
Some of you may recall that Barack Obama also distanced himself from beloved comedian Bernie Mac. So much for Obama having a backbone and standing up for his people.
By the way Wanda, would you like ice to go with your Kool Aid beverage?
Morning Wood: Mario
Remember when singer Mario was bleaching his skin to appear 3 shades lighter a few years ago? (See ad below) Well, he seems to have gotten over his self hate as evidenced by his beautiful smooth brown skin in this new ad.
Mario, whom we still suspect is How U Doin, is featured in a new marketing ad for PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) which seems to encourage black men to scribble (more) ink on their skin rather than wear fur. I can’t think of the last time I saw a brotha wearing a mink fur coat. But I’ve seen too many brothas defacing their temples with ink.
GUESS WHO?
He’s a talented up and coming singer whom you should know. He has a taste for Gumbo, fine women and healthy living.
See who it is after the break!
PICS: Seal and Heidi Klum taking their marriage for a joke?
No, this isn’t the set of an upcoming movie. Singer Seal and his wife, actress Heidi Klum renewed their wedding vows during a wacky ceremony in Malibu, California over the weekend.
Seal wore a circa 80s Jon Bon Jovi mullet wig and draped himself in the stars and stripes. While his wife Heidi wore her hair in a tight cornrows hairstyle that is unique to the African American culture, but popularized and made mainstream by Bo Derek in the movie “10″.
Yes, the priest came dressed as Elvis Presley and the alter was festooned with pink flamingos. The couple originally wed on May 10, 2005.

Wanda Sykes is not funny
I have never understood why unfunny people like Wanda Sykes and D.L. Hughley get their own tv shows. Anyway, some people took offense to Wanda’s “jokes” at a recent White House Correspondents dinner. Yawn.
Thanks to loyal reader Imalover for the link…
Here’s the photo YOU paid $328,000 for — Oh, and another Obama staffer goes under the bus
Late Friday — long after cubicle workers and the media went home for the weekend — the Obama administration finally released that one photo they promised of the exorbitant Air Force One Manhattan fly over. The photo is not much to look at — just Air Force One flying low over the statue of Liberty.
Of course, it could have easily been Photoshopped thus saving you, the tax payer, $328,000. Maybe that’s the reason why White House Aide Louis Caldera went under the bus wheels and lost his job. Maybe Caldera was the fall guy who came up with that stupid explanation for why AF1 was buzzing Manhattan and terrorizing New Yorkers that day. Even a baby knows the Obama administration is lying about the real reason for that fly over.
Maybe Caldera thought the “file photo” explanation seemed innocent enough — until the Air Force revealed to the media how much that fly over actually ended up costing tax payers. I can see Obama pulling Caldera to the side in the midst of the ensuing chaos, and asking him why he couldn’t have come up with a better excuse than that.
Obama’s staffers are going to get tired of coming up with excuses for him, and going under Obama’s bus wheels for their troubles.
We will probably never know what AF1 was really doing in the skies over Manhattan that day. But what’s more disturbing than a president failing to deliver on his promise of transparency — is the way black people have covered up for Obama spending their hard earned tax dollars on photos in the middle of a recession.
The Kool Aid drinkers didn’t give George Bush the same courtesy — and he spent tax dollars keeping this country safe from terrorists!
It’s a shame that Obama can get away with spending $328,000 on some photos – and even laugh about it!! Yet the Kool Aid drinkers raise their cups to him and look the other way.
Who does Beyonce thinks she is: Celine Dion?
TMZ.com referred to Beyonce as a “greedy bish” because tickets for her Las Vegas shows are going for $450 to $850!!
Over the weekend, I had dinner with someone very close to Beyonce, who was in town to celebrate Mother’s Day with her family.
Naturally I can’t tell you who she is or what she told me — which was nothing. It’s not that I didn’t try very hard to extract information from her — but when it came to matters of Beyonce, her lips were as tight as a drum. She is a consummate professional who is fiercely loyal to Beyonce, and that’s the way it should be.
From TMZ.com:
So much for doing it for the fans. Tickets for Beyonce’s four night “intimate” appearance at the Wynn Hotel in Las Vegas are going fast — but only to rich people. Fans have to buy their tickets along with a two night stay in the hotel — packages range from $450 and $850 per person — and that’s just for starters.
If that’s too rich for your blood and you want to skip the hotel, a limited number of tickets are selling for $250, $500, $750, and $1000 (again, per person).
Our source at the Wynn tells us that ticket-only seating cannot exceed 1% of total ticket sales. That means in the 1500-seat Encore theater, only 10-15 tickets will be available without hotel fees.
FYI … the world record for the number of people stuffed into a phone booth is 22.
