Obama Laughs At Wanda Sykes Joke Calling Limbaugh The "20th Hijacker," But Press Secretary Gibbs Now Says That Joke Was Inappropriate

Here is the Wanda Sykes joke about Rush Limbaugh being the "20th hijacker" that missed his 9-11 flight because he was too "strung out on oxycontin." Notice that Obama seemed to find it funny and laughs at the joke.


Here is what Robert Gibbs had to say about the Wanda Sykes jab at Limbaugh at the White House Correspondent's Dinner:


New York Magazine reports that Christopher Hitchens had his own take on the personal attacks made by Sykes against people who were not even present at the dinner to be
"roasted." The magazine reports that "by the end of the night, Christopher Hitchens was of course the last man (barely) standing, and he had some choice words for the evening's headlining comedian, Wanda Sykes. 'The president should be squirming in his seat. Not smiling,' he said. 'The black dyke got it wrong. No one told her the rules.'"
