Wanda Sykes on Karma. Not safe for work.

Wanda Sykes to skewer Prez Barack Obama at Correspondents' Dinner

According to AP, Sykes will be the entertainer -- whose task will be to make jokes at Obama's expense -- at the 2009 White House Correspondents' Assn. dinner in Washington.

What was the first thing she did when she found out she had the gig?

"I made sure my taxes were paid," quipped Sykes.

Not as much fun as when Stephen Colbert roasted Bush perhaps, but the choice of Sykes should liven up this years event. As noted here Wanda came out this past November after Prop 8 passed for anyone that would like to watch the video of her rousing speech at the LGBT Center of Nevada.
