The hilarious Wanda Sykes appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno Thursday and weighed in on the Republican Presidential field, taking aim at Newt Gingrich’s penis size and Rick Santorum’s obsession with gay people.
Sporting a pair of hot leather pants Sykes told Jay “I’m sexy, I feel sexy,” before launching into a razor-sharp assessment of the Republican candidates. On the subject of Gingrich’s ex-wife alleging that he wanted an open marriage Sykes said that the public can’t judge their marriage. She suggested that Gingrich’s ex perhaps called him “tiny penis.” “You tell a man he’s got a tiny penis – that’ll make him wander,” Sykes said.
Regarding Santorum’s continued railing against LGBT people Sykes said that Santorum “doth protest too much,” implying that the Senator might in fact be a little gay himself.
The comedian, who came out as a lesbian at a Prop 8 rally in 2008, said she doesn’t understand why religious types like Santorum are so concerned with whether or not gay people, including Sykes, are going to hell.
“Shut the hell up and let God take care of it,” Sykes said.
When Leno asked her which she Republican she would vote for if she had to go that way she replied, “If I had to go Republican I would move to France.”
