Wanda Sykes = Ann Coulter for inappropriate comments. Ann C. "joked" that someone should poison Justice Stevens' creme brulee. Now, Wanda Sykes "jokes" that she hopes Limbaugh's kidneys fail and Obama laughs. That laughter, IMO, is just as out of line as Coulter's remarks --- more so, because he's the President.
The guy from CBS, the golf guy, remarked that if a soldier from Iraq was in an elevator with a loaded gun with 2 bullets, with Pelosi, Reid and bin Laden in it with him, Pelosi would be shot twice and Reid and bin Laden would be found strangled to death. He had to apologize. Obama laughed at Sykes' remarks. Don't expect an apology from him or Sykes.
Having said that, it doesn't elevate the very sharp and smart Coulter to any status for me that says "admirable" or "cool". And, I can laugh at a hundred other things she says and 100 other things Sykes says.
The one person in all this that actually matters is BHO. He's the one they're all fawning over. He's the one that had the moral authority to react without laughter and to brush off the comment as the opinion of a comedian. He didn't.
This country is spinning downward in a hurry and Obama is in the cockpit pushing the throttle hard.
