Sexy Sykes! In other Obama news... TV Examiner Rick Ellis has all the zingers (and video) from the White House Correspondents Dinner, including this classic from comedian Wanda Sykes: "I know Governor Palin, she's not here tonight. She pulled out at the last minute. You know, somebody should tell her that's not really how you practice abstinence." Sykes, who married her same-sex partner Alex last October during California's pre-Prop 8 window of opportunity – a marriage that now officially hangs in the balance – was noticeably quiet on the topic of Obama's silence on marriage equality and other LGBT issues.
