Last night, Jimmy Fallon not only warmly greeted President Barack Obama on his late night talk show, he even participated in a five-minute violation of campaign finance law in-kind campaign contribution propaganda comedy segment that allowed the President to get his message across to the young college-age crowd he so desperately needs to re-woo if he’s to win a second term.
Some of you might remember, though, that GOP presidential candidate and sitting Congresswoman Michele Bachman, was greeted as a “lying’ ass bitch” during her appearance on the Fallon show back in November.
Certainly, many apologies were made afterwards, but as we would later discover, all of those apologies were based on a lie.
Fallon’s bandleader, Questlove, at first claimed the song choice was something that was a rash, spur-of-the-moment decision. Later, in a “Rolling Stone” interview Questlove did before the Bachmann appearance, the bandleader told the magazine he was “gunning for Bachmann” with the song “Lyin’ Ass Bitch.” Which of course makes Questlove the lying ass bitch.”
Welcome to NBC, folks, where every branch of the network is 100% weaponized as an arm of the Obama 2012 campaign.
