RICHMOND, Va. - The billionaire co-founder of the Black Entertainment Television mocked Democrat Creigh Deeds' occasional stuttering at a fundraiser she held for Deeds' Republican opponent in the governor's race, Bob McDonnell.
In a YouTube video, Sheila Johnson says Virginia needs a governor "who can really communicate, and Bob McDonnell can communicate."
Then she tells a small crowd of wealthy donors, "The other people I talk to, especially his op-op-op-o-opponent, di-di-did this all through my interview with him."
After muted laughter among the guests, she adds, "He could not articulate what needed to be done."

Well good speaking skills ARE important for a governor...
That’s s-s-s-s-so un-un-un-un-fair!!!
No comment needed.
When are Republicans going to learn. You do not hire Democrats to represent you. She obviously has her head up her A$$ to even say this!
What do we expect from a b-b-b-black r-r-r-racist?
K-K-K-Katy, beautiful Katy,
You’re the only g-g-g-girl that I adore;
When the m-m-m-moon shines,
Over the cowshed,
I’ll be waiting at the k-k-k-kitchen door.
Who axed her?
This raises the question: Can an African-American have a “macaca” moment?
Deeds mocked him for anything and it would be proclaimed racists. See the irony here?
Stuttering and deafness are two handicaps which some people find highly amusing. Neither is funny to those afflicted or their families. When a comic or anyone else jokes about either, I tune them out as arrogant bores.
Agreed.
LOL!
All I know is the Republican candidate was a fool not to recognize what kind of idiot this Johnson woman is that he chose to represent and campaign for him. I personally think she knew well what she was doing. This Republican candidate has lost a lot from this faux/pas.
OMG-—I forgot all about that song, but being 50-something, we sang this as kids! GG Great find...!
(Both grandparents were WW1 vets)
Thanks!
My older brother occasionally stuttered, but had a great sense of humor about it. His favorite piano roll:
Bill McClusky, big and husky, was a handsome lad, and he had
a pretty little girl by the name of Pearl. But McClusky, big and husky
stuttered very bad; so when he wanted to marry her he asked his brother Jim:
You-you-you-you tell her ‘cause I-I-I-I stutter and always get in dutch.
Obviously this McDonnel doesn’t KNOW that the Retired head of BET supported Zero. Why in the world would he have a Dem anywhere near his campaign. Is he a Rino in Conserv clothing?
To target swing voters.
In the entire article, while they mentioned she was a billionare, they never said that she was black.
They also didn’t mention that McDonnell is the first Republican she has ever supported — she was a big Obama supporter.
And Deeds doesn’t “stutter”, he stammers, when he doesn’t know the answer to questions, or gets flustered.
The Washington Post said he stammers. He is not disabled, or the WP certainly would have said so instead of saying he stammers.
But by tomorrow, his Wiki entry will probably include a made-up story about how his accident and coma when he was 12 left him with a brain defect.
To which I say: Why has Deeds hidden this from the public?
She also apologized.
