It amazes me that liberals are up in arms whenever Obama is indirectly referred to as anything other than what he is; a man. Yet the same demographic finds attacks on conservatives entertaining.
The latest salvo was fired on last night’s edition of “Late Night With Jimmy Fallon” when his house band, The Roots played ‘Lyin’ Ass Bitch’ as the intro for Representative Michelle Bachmann appearance. As if that wasn’t enough, the band’s drummer, Questlove tweeted about it to ensure everyone got the joke.
For those not familiar with the lyrics here they are:
You’re nothing but a little lyin’ ass bitch !
You know she says she loves you but you know she don’t care
You’re nothing but a little lyin’ ass bitch !
You know she says she needs you but you know she really don’t care
You’re nothing but a little lyin’ ass bitch !
You know she says she loves you but you know she don’t care
You’re nothing but a little lyin’ ass bitch !
You know she says she needs you but you know she really don’t careShe swears that her heart’s for you
And she swears that her love never ends
She swears that she’s all for you
As she messes around with your friendsI really thought our love was much too strong
But that little slut just proved us wrong
I still care and that’s my fatal flaw
Cause sharing you will surely kill us all !!
The mere fact that the Roots would dare play this song shows exactly how much disrespect they have not only for Michelle Bachmann, but also women in general. I can imagine what would happen if Michelle Obama were to appear on the show and the house band would play N.W.A’s A Bi*ch Iz A Bi*tch’
Bottom line, nothing short of having Questlove and the Roots removed from the show should be acceptable to the American public. In fact, moving forward, any company that advertises on the show if that band remains should be boycotted. Folks, we can do it!

The drummer for the house band on “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon” apologized sort of for his decision to play ”Lyin’ Ass Bitch” when Rep. Michele Bachmann appeared on the talk show Monday night.
“The performance was a tongue-in-cheek and spur of the moment decision. The show was not aware of it and I feel bad if her feelings were hurt. That was not my intention,” Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson said in a statement.
As Bachmann, congresswoman and GOP presidential contender, walked across the stage to sit next to Fallon Monday night, house band the Roots played a refrain from the song written by Fishbone.
Though the lyrics refer to a woman as a “slut trash can bitch,” the band sang the “la, la, la” of the refrain.
The band’s drummer sent a tweet prior to the show clueing viewers in on the song choice, writing: “late night walkon song devotees: you love it when we snark: this next one takes the cake. ask around cause i aint tweeting title.”
Later, he retweeted a fan’s reaction: “perfect entry song for her.”
Thompson’s initial tweet came prior to show making air, but after it had been taped earlier that evening.
Neither NBC, “Late Night” or Fallon himself would comment officially on the controversy .
Around noon Tuesday Fallon tweeted, “@Questlove is grounded.”
Thompson is a known supporter of President Obama and has contributed to his campaign. His Twitter account features a photograph of the drummer with the president.
Earlier Monday, Bachmann was asked on NBC’s “Today” show whether she believed she had been treated unfairly by the media because she is a woman.
“Sometimes you wonder about that,” she said. “I have no way of knowing.” A spokesman for Bachmann did not immediately comment.
