Wow - how biased is this MSNBC poll?!
QUESTION: Did Wanda Sykes' performance at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner go too far?

And here are the choices:

Yes. She called Rush Limbaugh the 20th Sept. 11 hijacker. Sykes even joked that she wants his kidneys to fail. Calling someone a terrorist and wishing them dead crosses the line of decency.

No. It was all in good fun. She knew the audience she was pandering to, and her comedy routine was a big hit with the Democrats in the crowd.

I don't know. I think she took the Limbaugh jokes a little too far, but she also roasted Democrats too. "The first black president playing basketball -- that's two steps forward, one step back," Sykes said of the president.

Wow. Just wow.

6. Hey, it was an insult to hijackers and terrorists everywhere!

7. Limbaugh goes too far on a daily basis...with zero laughs.
And we've all thought far worst! That poll needs a follow-up.

12. So did I. Biased, leading questions tell more about the pollsters than the respondents.
