Wanda Sykes Performs at White House Correspondents Dinner
---------------------------------------------------------



And the White House Correspondents Association dinner was held Saturday
in Washington. The comedian Wanda Sykes provided the evening’s
entertainment.

Wanda Sykes: “It is truly an honor to be here. It really is. I keep
getting asked the same question: you know, are you nervous? Are you
nervous? I’m like, ‘With this administration, what is there to be
nervous about?’ You know, if I do a good job, I get great press; and if
I screw it up royally, Tim Geithner will give me a bonus.”
