"Those Weapons of Mass Destruction Have Got to Be Somewhere"

By Baxter

The nutty right-wing base of the Republican Party has set cyberspace aflame with reaction to Wanda Sykes' performance at last night's White House Correspondents' Association Dinner. As expected, they're not taking kindly to Ms. Sykes' jokes about their heroes, Sarah Palin and Rush Limbaugh.

Their solution? Call Wanda a lesbian — among other things.

"This vile bull dyke is a spokesperson for Appleby’s [sic]," misspells one. "[S]he says that Rush was the 20th hijacker. Well, I think that Hussein was an accessory to one or more of Bill Ayers’ bombings," impotently fumes another. "When the government attacks private citizens is reason for alarm." (Private citizens??) "First state that secedes, I am moving there."

And last but not least, our personal favorite: "Hate isn’t funny." Irony, anyone?

We cats think our good friends on the farthest-right fringe have short memories. Because for truly repellent behavior at Washington dinners, nothing beats this.
