Yeah you are.
So is the Obama luvin’ media. In the AP report, the quote goes: “By the way, I’m just messing with you, man.” In the ABCNews.com report, they drop the “man”. Maybe it sounds too “urban” or colloquial or something. Too “street”. Not very Presidential, man.
Bernie Mac Makes ‘Inappropriate’ Jokes at Obama Fundraiser
… Mac introduced Obama for the $2,300-a-head fundraiser at the Hyatt Regency in downtown Chicago and opened with his typical humor.
“My little nephew came to me and he said, ‘Uncle, what’s the difference between a hypothetical question and a realistic question?’” Mac told the crowd, “I said, ‘I don’t know,’ but I said I’ll tell you what you do, ‘Go upstairs and ask your mother if she’d make love to the mailman for $50,000.’”
The joke continued with the mother saying she’d sleep “with anyone” for $50,000—and then continuing on to include Mac’s daughter hypothetically answering the question in the same way.
“Hypothetically speaking, we should have $100,000. But realistically speaking we live with two hos,” Mac said delivering the punch line that solicited a few hecklers in the political crowd.
“’It’s not funny. Let’s get Barack on,’” someone shouted from the crowd.
Mac introduced Obama shortly after, and Obama called him a “great friend.”
Near the end of Obama’s remarks, the Illinois Senator included a rebuke of his comedian friend in a regular stump speech riff about divisions that still exist in America.
“We can’t afford to be divided by race. We can’t afford to be divided by religion, or by region or class. Or by gender. That means, by the way, Bernie you got to clean up your act. This is a family affair. … I’m just messing with you,” Obama said. …
Obama’s got some wonderful friends:
Tony Rezko
Reverand Jeremiah Wright
Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn
Father Phleger
Jesse Jackson
Oprah
Sundry far leftists and socialists
Jack Layton and his right ass cheek Stephane Dion…
