My most loved WHCD line ever:
Wanda Sykes on Rush Limbaugh: “He just wants the country to fail. To me that’s treason. He’s not saying anything different than what Osama Bin Laden is saying. You might want to look into this, sir, because I think Rush Limbaugh was the 20th hijacker but he was just so strung out on Oxycontin he missed his flight. … Rush Limbaugh, I hope the country fails, I hope his kidneys fail, how about that?”

See the complete lists at Roll Call - can’t find a list for 2009, but presumably it was just as comical.
****
And …… this Sunday’s guests include:
ABC’s This Week: Gene Sperling, Kelly Ayotte
NBC’s Meet the Press: Gene Sperling, John Boehner, Rep. Raul Labrador
CBS’s Face the Nation: Dick Durbin, Cardinal Timothy Dolan and …… I’m not making this up …..Lindsey Graham and John McCain
Fox News Sunday: Mitt and Ann Romney. No, seriously.
****
As @BillinPortland said, they only want Sperling on “so they can keep milking the Woodward kerfuffle”. Although, he was good enough to say of his “Milking the Woodward” reference - “sorry for that visual”.
