In Case Y'all Missed It, Wanda Sykes Just Dissed Bush On Network TV

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

Right after the ball dropped. On NBC. They were talking about all the new reality celebrity shows that will probably pop up on 06, and she said "Well with Bush Spyin on everybody he'll probably have his own reality show" or somethin like that.

She totally called him out on his illegal spying. On national network tv. On New Years. Broadcast to millions.

Oh, and HAPPY NEW YEARS TO ALL OF DU, I'D BE LOST WITHOUT YOU ALL!!!

:toast: :party: :grouphug: :woohoo:

[0007]

1. Who is Wanda Sykes?

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

2. Really?

[0007]

8. That's not a fair question?

[ohio_liberal]

10. She's a very funny comedian

http://www.wandasykes.com

She likened George Bush to a retarded child who eats ice cream with a fork at birthday parties.

[0007]

16. Thank you for the link and the photo.

I try and catch her.

[AuntiBush]

19. And She Always Tells it Like It Is, Regardless!

Seen it, heard it and slapped high-five with my dog.

:toast:

[Seabiscuit]

78. She appears on episodes of Larry David's "Curb Your Enthusiasm"

She's hilarious.

[Scout1071]

84. And formerly of "The Chris Rock Show" on HBO.

Feckin' brilliant.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

24. LOL I'm Drunk And Really Couldn't Tell If You Were Being Serious Or Not

LOL

Sorry bout that. I see from the posts below that you have some pics of her now and stuff. She's a hilarious comedianne that tells it like it is and is funny as friggin hell. She had her own sitcom not too long ago but unfortunately it was cancelled, even though I thought it was hilarious!

Happy new year 0007!

:toast:

[tavalon]

27. Actually,

that person beat me to it. The only Wanda Sykes I ever knew was a woman I went to nursing school with. Not the same person, clearly.

[TahitiNut]

14. Here ...

[0007]

17. Thanks, nice looking lady.

[Bluebear]

22. PS

you are not the only pop-culturally challenged among us. I had to look her up too :)

[TankLV]

86. Me too, now I recognize her.

She isn't exactly a household name, unfortunately.

[Pharlo]

64. If you ever saw 'Monster-In-Law',

She was Jane Fonda's character's personal assistant.

She was humorous in that, but they REALLY toned her down. When doing her own material, she is hilarious.....

[stevietheman]

71. Who is Wanda Sykes? She's my gurl! :)

She's excellent at calling things out, as it were, and apparently she proved herself once again. I loves muh Wanda.

[Nicole]

3. I love Wanda!

She always tells it like it is. :toast:

[marylanddem]

4. Good for Wanda - I missed it, but she's one of the

funniest women comedians - happy new year everyone!

[IdaBriggs]

5. It was beautiful! Kicked & Nominated!!! WE LOVE YOU, WANDA!!! nt

[carolinalady]

6. Missed it -but it does seem to be shaping up to be a very good

year indeed. Cheers.
:toast:

[CatholicEdHead]

7. Will it be edited before we get to see it?

[senseandsensibility]

9. You go, Wanda!

I love that girl!

[Warren DeMontague]

11. Wanda Does It.

She Rocks.

[IdaBriggs]

12. Come on, folks! Let's get some votes for the Greatest Page!!!

[txindy]

20. Well, I missed it, but appreciate the story being shared, so....

Nominated! :toast:

[Lex]

13. Wanda is the funniest comedian working today!

She rocks!

[SupplyConcerns]

69. Er..

How about most of the cast of Arrested Development, or her co-star on Curb, Larry David?

[Cha]

15. That's so COOL! And thank you for

tellin' us that!

I just got home from First Night in my home town and the musicians had a derogatory comment about george bush at the music fest.

Happy And a Healthy 2006, ya'll! :toast:

[FreedomAngel82]

18. LOL

Yay Wanda. Love her comedy. She's awesome. :) And not just because she dissed Bush. HAPPY NEW YEAR!

[rodeodance]

21. go Wanda!!!!!!!!!!

[rodeodance]

23. how can we say thanks?--anyone with an email address?

[madeline_con]

28. Check ...

[farmbo]

25. Link to Wanda's 'Turd in the Car Seat' Crank Yanker bit...ROFL!!!

http://www.dumpalink.com/media/1127981601/Woman_Finds_A_Turd_In_Her_Car

[Jeffersons Ghost]

34. OMG

Did she do that skit? It was the funniest thing I've ever heard!

[farmbo]

37. Believe it...I just about drove my car in the ditch hearing it.

Wanda is a hoot!

[FreedomAngel82]

41. Go to Wanda's photo section

There is a picture of her and the caption says: "Pro-Choice weekend". Yay! Her with Moby at "pro-choice weekend".

[bigwillq]

26. Oh that's great. I missed that.

:bounce:

[Nicole]

29. Buy her book " Yeah, I said it"

it's hilarious. One of my favorite passages went something like this:

Correct if I'm wrong but didn't we get rid of one president for breaking into hotels rooms & another one for lying about who he had sex with?. Last time I checked lying to us to justify a war trumps breaking into hotels & blow jobs.:rofl:

[FreedomAngel82]

39. LOL

What else does the book talk about? I have some money to splurg and might get some books.

[Nicole]

48. She talks shit about everybody lol

but mostly Bush & the war. I can't remember it all but here's a few things.

Abortion & choice.
Martha Stewart shouldn't have been jailed while the Enron CEO was free.
Michael Jackson didn't molest as many boys as the Catholic church.
Athletes should be able to do steroids, shoot up on the field or snort during halftime. As long as they give us a good game to watch it shouldn't matter what they do.
Gay marriages & straight divorces.
Bill Clinton & his blow job. She said he was patriotic for keeping it in the house. LOL

It's definitely worth the money.

[FreedomAngel82]

83. I'll have to try to find it

Sounds good.

[bluestateguy]

30. Wasn't she a Bush supporter?

Back in the days when I used to watch a little Fox News, I remember her on H&C spinning for Bush, and promising that he would win in a landslide.

Maybe her instincts as a comedian told her that Bush is just easy to make fun of, and that people like to laugh at Baby Bush when he's at 43% in the polls.

[w13rd0]

32. Um...

...absolutely NO WAY IN HELL. Wanda Sykes is and has been for as long as I can remeber an outspoken critic of Republicans. She takes a slap here and there at Democrats, but she's participated in fundraisers and been quite the activist. No, I really don't think she was on Hannity and Colmes.

[angee_is_mad]

33. Hell 2 tha NO!!!!

she is a liberal. She came into mainstream prominence on the Chris Rock show that was on HBO a few years back. People who watch urban television have known about Wanda for over a decade through.

[bammertheblue]

38. That doesn't sound right

could be, but I think not. Maybe she just wanted to make fun of him!

[proud2BlibKansan]

47. That doesn't sound like Wanda

[Fox Mulder]

50. I thought she was too.

:shrug:

[WCGreen]

54. It was right after 9/11 amd she was one of the people

out there calling for blood and praising Bush...

A lot of people got sucked into that crap and look where it took us...

[DoctorMyEyes]

57. No, no, no

I don't know who you saw, but it wasn't Wanda Sykes! I saw her live back in 98 or 99 and she was HEAVILY dissing Republicans then. She was funny as hell defending Clinton, too. Was impressed with his "multi-tasking"! LOL

[peekaloo]

63. I think you're confusing her with Donna Brazille.

}(

p.s. She did have a short-lived sitcom on Fox where she played an on air correspondent in D.C. :shrug:

[AverageJoe]

31. Givin' Wanda some love!

K & R!!

[Olney Blue]

35. Go, Wanda!!!!

I always liked her but now I LOVE her.

:thumbsup:

[rucky]

36. And to piss the righties off even more...

Carson Daily gave her a big smooch on the lips.

[bammertheblue]

40. ewww

she shouldn't kiss him! yucky!
(I totally appreciate what you're saying. I hope their heads all exploded. I just think he's such a huge idiot).

Happy New Year!

[FreedomAngel82]

43. I used to really like Carson

He's not too bad. I thought he and Jennifer Love Hewitt were really cute together.

[bammertheblue]

44. He just reminds me

of one of those frat boys who get drunk and try to grab your ass....this is just my own personal prejudice talking though.:/

[FreedomAngel82]

80. Who knows

I don't know how he is as a person but he seems okay. I've heard from others on website's and stuff that he's a poser. He tries to be someone different depending on the guest he had when he was on TRL. Like if it was a rapper he'd try to be gangsta and if it was a more alternative rock person he'd be like them. :shrug: He had an okay show with "Last Call." I used to watch it but it got boring after a while.

[Algorem]

42. I saw earlier they just got done showing footage from 1966 and host Car-

son Daly said the National debt was,I think, 360 billion then,and now ,he said 'it's a whopping 7.6 trillion',or something like that.

[AwakeAtLast]

45. I saw it, and it was great!

I almost spit out my ice cream (that's what I toasted with, lol)!

:toast:

[proud2BlibKansan]

46. I LOVE Wanda Sykes

That's great. Sorry I missed it.

[applegrove]

49. She's cool. Is she on regular TV? Or just on specials & movies?

[Kurovski]

53. She appears pretty often on HBO's "Curb Your Enthusiasm."

She did this past season, and I hope she'll be in more in '06.

I don't know what's going on with the show she had on Comedy Central (is it cancelled?) But it was great, with an excellent premise.

Why Comedy Central would keep that lame-ass "Blue-collar TV"--a 7th-rate, booger-picking burlesque rehash--and cancel Wanda is a mystery as baffling as why we still at this late date have an enormous idiot and his criminal butt-buddies fucking around in the White House.

[Kire]

51. I just heard her on Raw Dog, the comedy channel on Sirius

she was doing a prank phone call that probably was shown on Crank Yankers, she called this really christian lady pretending to be customer service for an adult entertainment store and she was so fucking filthy

I was thinking how funny it was that I just saw her get kissed by Carson Daly on NBC.

[Kurovski]

52. A vote for Wanda.

A vote for speaking up, speaking out, and being funny about the whole big pile a shit George and the rest of those crazy assholes keep trying to dump on us.

[SammyBlue]

55. Too bad I tuned the unfunny hack out long before she said that.

She could have said she had, appearing only on New Year's Rockin Eve, a video of a three way she had with natalie portman and Charlize Theron while Angelina Jolie and Jessica Alba necked in the background, complete with narration from Jenna Jameson on the tape with Ron Jeremy giving an introduction and I wouldn't have given a crap.

Wanda Sykes is as funny as colon cancer.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

62. Actually She's Hilarious! And You Should Always Give A Crap When

someone speaks to our cause on network tv in front of millions, but whatever :eyes:

Luckily though, about 0% of the people in this thread agree with your position.

[SammyBlue]

70. If George Carlin or Chris Rock say it, I'll find it funny

Wanda Sykes is just obnoxious.

But, hey. . .different strokes for different folks.

[MaineDem]

56. One of the funniest lines about Bush...

She was on Letterman or Leno a few years ago and said something like "rembember before 9/11 Bush was stupid." She was talking about his image changing. She was so right (and much funnier than I'm able to recreate.)

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

58. K & R, hubby and I love Wanda. She's absolutely fearless and I've

shed many laughter related tears over her routines, her shows and, her spots on Inside the NFL.

:rofl: MKJ

[gizmo1979]

59. she was the only goodthing

on during any of the New Years shows.Regis,clark,seacrest,all lame but Wanda was funny really funny.Did you hear when she said before the big ball they used to drop negroes down the pole.Carson daley almost fell over laughing.She was great.

[Chalco]

68. My impression was that Carson Daly was shocked at first

at her comment about dropping negroes down the pole, but then decided to laugh. She was great. She just seems to channel whatever is going on inside of her. Right before the ball drop she started out on a rant about 1965 which lead to dropping negroes. It was shockingly hilarious. She says stuff no one else is brave enough to say.

[HuskerDU]

60. Yeah Wanda!

She is too cool.

[Vitruvius]

61. b/t/w, Ms. Sykes worked as a secretary at the NSA -- briefly -- before

she became a comedian. I don't know how she got hired, but she must have been a breath of fresh air in that outfit.

[Syrinx]

72. she says she was a "contracting specialist" with a security clearance

When did you first realize you were funny and wanted to be comedian?

WS: Actually, I majored in marketing and I have a bachelor of science. I suck at chemistry (laughs); the hard sciences, no. I guess it hit me- early on I always was a fan of comedy, but to actually go, 'okay, I'm going to go and become a comedian and pursue this thing,' was when I was working at the National Security Agency, at the NSA, and I was just bored silly and I felt like I was stealing form the tax payers. I was like, 'I don't belong here.' I mean, there could be someone who really wants this job and would probably be doing a better job at it, and I remember reading my high school yearbook and just like every entry someone made a comment about 'thanks for being so funny,' even my teachers, 'thank you for making class so much fun,' 'you should be on stage,' and I heard about a talent show and comedy was one of the categories and I said, 'you know, I'm going to write some material.' I sat down and wrote some jokes and went to the talent show, got up on stage, fell in love with it and never turned back.

What did you do at the NSA?

WS: I was a contracting specialist. I pretty much shopped all day, basically. Instead of shoes, I bought radar equipment.

Do you still have your security clearance?

WS: No, I'm sure it's expired by now. Shoot, that was back in '87.

[Vitruvius]

76. Better yet! Thanks for the info!

n/t

[FreedomAngel82]

81. Seriously?

Is that true? Wow, I didn't know that!

[Gregorian]

65. Wanda, will you marry me!

PM me for my phone number. ;)


Funny how Bush spies on us, but his administration hasn't answered a single question it's been asked.

The public is to be spied on. The administration is to be a secret.

Hm. Sounds like fascism to me.

[lectrobyte]

66. Too cool. I was flipping between her and Dick Clark, I loved her

"can you feel the brotherly love here tonight? I just saw one guy lay down his gun" comment.

[astonamous]

67. So I posted a "high five" on Wanda's website

I guess she has freepers too.

[stevietheman]

73. Oh wow... my gurl uses phpBB... my fav board software! n/t

n/t

[astonamous]

74. Really? Her site has been hacked a few times. n/t

[stevietheman]

75. But that's the beauty of open-source...

the phpBB developers respond very well with security fixes. It should be noted that phpBB is the victim of so many attacks because it is very very popular.

[Mad_Dem_X]

77. Wanda rawks!

I love her! :applause:

[AndreaCG]

79. Stand up comic

I knew her about 10 years ago when I was doing stand up, before she had really made it. She was very nice and laughed at my jokes too. : )

[FreedomAngel82]

82. Neat

Very sweet. :)

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

85. And The BEST Line From Her Tongue Untied Special (Please Read)

In reference to Bush's High approval ratings (this is old, obviously) and during the midwest wildfires, she said during the special:

"Makes sense to me; he's done everything I expected: The economy's in the toilet, we're at war, and everything's on fire!"

She cracked my ass up with that line! :rofl:
