This is a good post on a great blog about Ms. Sykes' (who I had forgotten existed until this morning) comments at the White House Correspondent's Dinner.
I wasn't offended by her very off-color jokes (disingenuously claiming that Rush Limbaugh wants the country to fail and therefore she wants his kidneys would fail, etc) as many conservatives were, but I also didn't get offended by David Feherty's hilarious anecdote about Nancy Pelosi (the excellent WSJ has a characteristically well-done piece on the two jokes) as nearly everyone has. I did, however, take issue with her comments. My problem is the too-clear-to-be-hidden agenda of the entertainment industry: unlike Steve "unoriginal hack" Colbert's skewering of President Bush, Ms. Sykes barely bothered to knock on President Obama - only noting the fact that the press never takes pictures of him smoking, but constantly prints pics of him sans shirt. Again, I'm not so much offended as I am disgusted at the clear bias of a media and entertainment industry that has crawled so far up the president's ass that he's going to start crapping People's Choice Awards.
It's taken almost a century, but the Progressives' destruction of the classical liberal education American children used to receive as late as the early twentieth century has finally yielded an awful crop: a cultural elite devoid of creativity and dedicated to the proposition that all men should end up equal.
