Jimmy Fallon's Band Disses Michelle Bachman

If Michelle Obama had been a guest on the program (although she wouldn't and one wonders why Michelle Bachman would want to be, if it is, as Rush says, a program with low ratings) and the band had played this song, they'd undoubtedly be fired for being racist.

I've been unable to find out what music group actually first created this song...but I dare say it's a rapper.

Anyway, here's what Rush had to say:
You probably have heard by now that Michele Bachmann was a guest on Jimmy Fallon's very low rated NBC late, late, late-night show; comedy show. When she was introduced and came out to assume her seat, the house band played a song. They didn't sing the lyrics, but the title of the song "Lying Assed B-i-itch."

So here comes the only female candidate for president of the United States, a Republican, who was introduced this way. She doesn't know what's going on; she didn't pay attention to the song being played. The drummer in the group tweets the next day that they had done this, laughing about it, yukking it up. Fallon sends out a tweet later saying the drummer's been "grounded," but clearly they were having a great time with it. It was disrespectful, a 100% diss: "Lyin' Assed B-i-itch." To put this in perspective, Hillary wasn't even on the show, and they have this song, "Lyin' Assed B-i-itch!" Now, you watch, I'm gonna get in trouble for equating Hillary with this.

Meanwhile, a major television network, NBC -- a major television network -- does this to the only woman candidate for president, and it is either totally ignored or laughed off as good, clean fun. Can you imagine if Hillary Clinton were a guest on Huckabee's show on Saturday night on Fox (you know, Huckabee musical guest) and can you imagine if Huckabee's band played "Lyin' Assed B-i-itch" as Hillary is walking out after being introduced? Can you imagine the eruption in the media, particularly if Hillary was running for president? I also checked out the NAGs' website, the National Association of Gals. They have nothing up on their site about this, even though the story is now two days old. However, one of their top articles at the NAG website is, "Cain Sexual Harassment in the Campaign Against Women in Public Life."

But the "woman in public life" they're so concerned with at the NAG website is Nancy Pelosi, because they're upset that Herman Cain called her "Princess Nancy. "
