That was just part of comedian Wanda Syke's comments this past weekend at the White House Correspondents' Dinner which included the members of the press, celebrity guests, and of course, President Barack Obama.
Playing off a comment made not long ago by Limbaugh that he hoped Obama's policies failed, Sykes said: "Rush Limbaugh, 'I hope the country fails' -- I hope his kidneys fail, how about that?"
According to an article at foxnews.com, Sykes also accused Limbaugh of treason and compared him to Usama bin Laden saying in a reference to 9/11: "...I think maybe Rush Limbaugh was the 20th hijacker. But he was just so strung out on OxyContin he missed his flight."

Comments
Mr Limbaugh has caused inconvenience to so many people in the name of being conservative. By whatever name, jokes or staight talk, he deserves some inconvenience.
These “jokes” or “jibes” are essential at this time. Rush Limbaugh has been opening his big mouth and saying many nasty things recently. Rush Limbaugh has been as terrorist to all black people. Look at the list of ten of his nasty statements or “jokes” here. (http://newsone.blackplanet.com/obama/top-10-racist-limbaugh-quotes/). Wanda Sykes did not to say “die”. She says wishing your government to fail makes you sound like an enemy from within. Rush Limbaugh has not known failure so wanda wants him to taste what failure feels like. I would say to Wanda “I wish Rush Limbaugh kidney fails, Wanda, as he wishes failure for other people. You said what we all wanted to say”. In the end, this is a caution or rebuke to Rush Limbaugh not to wish others failure. A man whose kidney fails is not dead. He can live on support system. Kidney failure is not deadness. It’s wrong medicine to say kidney failure is deadness. Those WHO SAY SO ARE EITHER IGNORANT OR LIARS.
