Comedian Wanda Sykes: Only Way GOP Could Hate Me More Is If I Rolled Around in Pile of Welfare Checks
Comedian Wanda Sykes is a black gay woman, and according to her, that puts her in the crosshairs of the Republican Party. The GOP is best known as the
party of old white men, so as far as Sykes is concerned, she is persona non grata.
In a special for LOGO, Sykes tackled head on the GOP’s relationship to minorities.
“I’m a black, gay woman,” Sykes said in the special “NewNowNext Vote,” which aired on LOGO network. “I think the only way to make the GOP hate me more is if I sent them a video of me rolling around on a pile of welfare checks.” According to Sykes, she’s what you call a triple threat to the GOP.
Sykes came out of the closet as a lesbian at a rally in Las Vegas regarding proposition 8.
This is not the first time Sykes has stirred controversy while discussing politics. At the 2009 White House Correspondents’ Dinner, Sykes raised eyebrows when she responded to conservative Rush Limbaugh’s comment that he hoped President Obama fails. ”I hope he fails” Sykes snapped back in response, ”I hope his [Limbaugh's] kidneys fail, how ’bout that? Needs a little waterboarding, that’s what he needs.”
Sykes is probably best known for her stint on The Chris Rock Show during the late 90′s.

She’s cool with me as well, need some new DVDS though. Keep one speaking your mind Wanda, at least you’re not afraid to.
thats nothing to be proud of and brag on because of your chosen way of life. others feel differently. just do you thang and keep to yourself be real!
she’s got one of those voices that wear on you. you get sick of hearing her talk.
I like her. She rubs some people the wrong way because she tells the truth, although in jest. Some people can’t stand truth.
