Okay, the Wanda Sykes thing

Holy shit.

As you've probably heard by now:

While entertaining before a group including President Obama at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, comedienne Sykes took a couple of shots at Rush Limbaugh that were, pretty objectively, low blows.

Even Jon Stewart and Keith Olbermann--no amateurs at taking shots at Limbaugh themselves--have raised objections on their respective television shows.

Stewart also pointed out that the same people who have their panties in a bunch because of something Sykes said, are perfectly all right with everything Bush & Cheney did. Quite right.

But that's not the Holy shit part.

As someone on the Aaron Sorkin mailing list just reminded me, in a second season episode of West Wing, "The Drop-In," the c-story was:

A comedian who kills in front of an audience including the President, but there was a joke the White House isn't happy with.

But that's not the Holy shit part either.

The Holy shit part is...the comedian's name on the show?

Sykes.

Aaron Sorkin is Jesus.
