Last week, Jimmy Fallon's show took television to a new low. When Michele Bachmann was introduced, his band leader Questlove and The Roots played the song "Lyin' *ss B*tch" by Fishbone. As Representative Bachmann did not know the song, this constituted a musical sucker punch. Questlove claimed that this was a spur-of-the-moment act. In reality, he tweeted before the show has he was going to pull some snark that would "take the cake". Fallon smugly tweeted afterwards that Questlove would be "grounded". As a suprising and significant number of people were offended, both performers and N.B.C. have issued the usual lame insincere apologies, and no action was even considered. I don't like Representative Bachmann, but this is the latest in a long series of vulgar tasteless attacks on conservative women that has become acceptable and encouraged in our culture. People have been fired for saying and doing less, but it's perfectly fine to say and do these things to any woman who does not espouse the official liberal creed. Do it to Pelosi or Hillary and you'll never work again. Do it to Sarah Palin or Ann Coulter and you're a media hero. I wish Letterman and Fallon were on the same network. I wouldn't have to change the channel each night after Jay Leno. ;D

And NO - I'm not buying the rationale of liberal commentators that Fallon/Questlove's stunt is to be commended because Bachmann really IS a Lyin' *ss B*tch! In the final analysis, this WAS a priceless commercial...for the Craig Ferguson Show. ;D
