Chris Hitchens Has More Advice for 'Black Dyke' Wanda Sykes
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyAuthor and uber-contrarian Christopher Hitchens couldn't leave well enough alone when it came to his offensive and bigoted assessment of Wanda Sykes' performance at the White House Correspondents Association Dinner. While some folks cut him slack by surmising that he was probably drunk when he called Sykes "the black dyke," Hitchens "cleverly" wants us all to know he meant it by referring to her twice as "the sable Sapphist" in an article at Slate.

By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyStandup comic and actress Wanda Sykes has been tapped to roast President Obama at this year's White House Correspontents' Association Dinner on May 6. The Wall Street Journal's Amy Chozick has a preview of what Sykes might say:In recent appearances, Ms. Sykes has been trying out Obama jokes. "With a black president, we've got to come up with a new excuse," Ms. Sykes told the audience at the Count Basie Theatre in Red Bank, N.J., one recent Friday night. "Can't blame the Man, when you are the Man."..."It's so crazy how everyone is just in love with this man," Ms. Sykes said. She imitated a ...
