(Updated) Wanda Sykes on The Donald, birthers, network tv and Karma (with video)


UPDATED: Here's the FULL VIDEO (09:21) I intended to post! And there's more Wanda in Seattle, here and here and here and here and here and here and finally, here. Like I said below, I just love Wanda.

Peter Birnie (Vancouver Sun) with video (01:32) from Wanda's show in Seattle in March, 2010.
First to the birthers, that gaggle of gap-toothed morons led by Donald Trump who refuse to believe Barack Obama was born in the U.S.

“I feel sorry for ’em, they’re just sad,” says Wanda Sykes. “I love that they’re hangin’ it on ‘Well, he’s not from this country’ when they should just face it: You’re havin’ issues because a black man is president. That’s what it is, and you need to deal with that, to work with that.”

And as for The Donald, as we once dubbed Trump, what does Sykes think of his anti-Obama grandstanding atop the birther bandwagon?

“He’s not happy unless he’s relevant in some way,” she says. “He wants people to be talkin’ about him. I thought he would be happy enough to finally have a decent season of Celebrity Apprentice but, you know, he had to make a little bit more noise than that, I guess.” MORE...
Howie P.S.: I can't help it, I just love Wanda.

Wanda Sykes on the Harry Reid/Obama Flap, race relations and MLK Day (video)


Hulu, video (10:42) from The Wanda Sykes Show.

Howie P.S.:
In her opening monologue, Wanda comments on Harry Reid's word choice. In the next segment, Wanda presents readings from online discussions of race and then a celebrity guest panel covers Martin Luther King Day, Pat Robertson, etc. Rich Benjamin says "If MLK Were Around, He Wouldn't Care About Racial Brushfires in the Media -- He'd Be Talking About Poverty." Melissa Harris-Lacewell writes "How Barack Obama is like Martin Luther King, Jr." in The Nation. Reader Advisory: It's not all flowers and candy to either man.

"Wanda Sykes: Video Of White House Correspondents Dinner Speech"


HuffPo: Wanda Sykes, video Part 1 and Part 2.

Howie P.S.: Guaranteed to please. Want more Wanda? She was in Seattle on May 7, 2007 where she performed at the Moore Theater. More political comedy, in a "looking back" kind of way from "Harold and Kumar 2 and George Bush," video (05:38). I don't think any of them made it to the Nerd Prom.
