Wanda Sykes Ima Be Me

A little more than a year after causing controversy when she accused Rush Limbaugh of treason and compared him to Usama bin Laden at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, comedian Wanda Sykes returned to Washington DC to prove to anyone who will listen that she has a lot more to say. And say it she does in this gut-busting stand up special. Whether she’s thanking Obama for being elected because it means she no longer cares about White people staring at her when she buys a whole watermelon at the grocers or talking about her mid-life body and the stomach bulge from hell, Sykes gleefully gives the audience –and the world – lots to think about as they laugh their asses off. And she does it without the anger most comic mistake for insight these days.
