This week, Ladies and Gentlemen, the hypocritical outrage of the week will be whether or not Wanda Sykes went over the line during Friday evening's WHCD. Here is the exchange in context: Too much? This is a comedienne we are talking about here. Not a political Pundit, not the voice OR the leader of the GOP, Rush Limbaugh. This was Wanda Sykes.

Let's review a few things a certain leader of the GOP has said over the years, shall we?

"He is exaggerating the effects of the disease. He's moving all around and shaking and it's purely an act. ... This is really shameless of Michael J. Fox. Either he didn't take his medication or he's acting." --on an ad by Michael J. Fox endorsing Claire McCaskill for Senate for supporting embryonic stem cell research.

You know who deserves a posthumous Medal of Honor? James Earl Ray [the confessed assassin of Martin Luther King]. We miss you, James. Godspeed.

"This is no different than what happens at the Skull and Bones initiation...I'm talking about people having a good time, these people, you ever heard of emotional release? You ever heard of the need to blow some steam off?" --on the Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse scandal.

"I've been racking my brain. I've been trying to figure out how Bob Dole's luggage got on my airplane...I told the doctor, I said, 'Look, I'm worried about the next election.' ... A misunderstanding." --after he was detained by custom officials for possessing Viagra with a prescription made out in someone else's name.

Feminism was established to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream.

I mean, let's face it, we didn't have slavery in this country for over 100 years because it was a bad thing. Quite the opposite: slavery built the South. I'm not saying we should bring it back; I'm just saying it had its merits. For one thing, the streets were safer after dark.

I don't really need to mention the Half-rican Comments, nor the Socialistfascistcommunist talk regarding our President. I don't think this needs to be re-hashed here. What is important tho is that the so called MSM have decided that Wanda Sykes was over the line, without really taking a look at the history of what Rush has said. The hypocrisy is stunning, and yet, not surprising.

While so many people talk about the faltering GOP, and what can be done to save it, the party continues to embrace the ideology of this race bating, mysiogynistic drug addicted mouthpeice as tho he really offers something beneficial to America. Well, he actually does -- but not to all of America -- he gives racists and old white men hope that one day they will rise again. Don't believe me?

Yesterday Dick Cheney was on the TV Machine again. HE told Bob Scheiffer on Face the Nation:
They are what they are. Nice. When further questioned on the direction of the Republican Party he said,

And no one seems to think that this is over the top. Maybe it isn't hypocrisy, maybe they really DO want to be the party of extremists. Maybe just maybe they ARE telling the truth. But Wanda Sykes, she was the one, SHE went over the line? Cry me a river, GOP. When you start keeping your own house clean then you can talk about mine. In the mean time, go tend to your own terrorists' Kidney- and no -- I am not talking Osama Bin Laden. I am talking about the man who laments to repeal of Slavery. The man who unabashedly hates liberalsim, so much so, he said "I tell people don't kill all the liberals, leave enough around so we can have two on every campus; living fossils, so we will never forget what these people stood for."- Rush Limbaugh

I guess the media doesn't think advocating death is over the line. If the media wants to start talking about line crossing, then maybe they should have a real discussion, instead of fake poutrage of one female comedienne. (who, btw -- just happens to be a woman of color -- just saying...)

:peace: and
Raine
