Overdue White House response On Sykes-Limbaugh: 9/11 Jokes Cross The Line

(Huffingtonpost).Two days after comedian Wanda Sykes quipped during the White House Correspondent's dinner that Rush Limbaugh was likely the 20th hijacker on 9/11, the White House publicly distanced itself from the remarks.

"There are a lot of topics that are better left for serious reflection rather than comedy," said spokesman Robert Gibbs. "I don't think there is no doubt that 9/11 is one of them".



Before her performance on Saturday, Sykes told "Extra's" AJ Calloway that she had been warned to keep it clean:"They told me not to say the F word or the N word," she said. "I'm offended they even told me that".

Note: No condemnation of the personal attack on Limbaugh on calling him a terrorist and wishing him to die, of course! because its only comedy and he is not a wazzzup guy.

from conservativexpress:
Gibbs doing what he does best; passing the buck and rambling in a "non-answer".What's the deal, Gibbs? It was an inappropriate joke on several levels! Condemn it and move on!
