Would they have played this for Michelle Obama?....Hillary Clinton?...et al

The guy who did it said it was just a joke or whatever....

...again, would he have played it for Michelle Obama....NO

“I’m honored that @MicheleBachmann was on our show yesterday and I’m so sorry about the intro mess. I really hope she comes back...”

Maybe “Lyin’ A$$ Bitch” should be his show’s opening theme song...

I’m sure Fallon would play that song if Michelle Obama, or any other leftist female, was a guest on the program. (smirk)

He is a talented kid. He does impressions that are spot on. His show has some funny bits in it. This apology is nothing but empty words to me.

This was pre-planned and playing out exactly as Fallon wants it to. He’s got the press playing it and that’s the idea...showing that when the democrates said they would be playing nasty they meant it and they’re just getting started.

They know the republicans won’t play that game.....they rather are testing the boundaries to see how far they can go before Obama actually starts his debates without a thought to consequences...there aren’t any.

She didn’t take it in stride.

She’s asked for an apology from NBC.

“Controversial Musical Message”

Is that what they are calling it? What a joke.

Oh well. Someone probably demanded that she ask for an apology. Did she get all bent out of shape during the show, or let it slide?

Unfortunately, Bachmann's campaign allowed her to appear on this NBC show. When you go into the belly of the beast, lousy things sometimes happen. Bachmann, an excellent candidate, seems to be pulling out all the stops to get the exposure she needs to stay in the GOP primary race.

What's surprising, though, is that Democrat Nita Lowy sympathized with Bachmann's circumstances on the show.

She’s my 2nd choice if the media/liberal/elitist RINO destruction campaign against Cain succeeds. She is almost as Conservative as Cain but not quite. Cain has made it quite plain on numerous numerous occasions he is not putting up with any Islamic or liberal BS. What ticks me off is how many Freepers dropped the guy when he showed he wasn’t the sharpest tack on the block when it came to world affairs. I mean come on: What world affairs are we talking about here? We got Muslims and Marxist liberals succeeding on destroying this country for the past umpteen years! When is somebody going to KICK THEM IN THE ASS? Nobody unless Cain is elected.

Yes. I think that’s the first time I have ever heard a female liberal stand up for a female conservative. Ever.

Yes, that's usually the case. I was merely interpreting the words released by Lowey quoted in the article. Is Lowey sincere? That's the question. If not, what's her motive in being that unusual 'Rat to release such a statement? Maybe she's trying to get Bachmann to come over to her side of some congressional issue regarding women? Just a thought.

I was flipping through the channels and I landed on Fallon (never watched his show), the show was just ending but I saw Bachmann had been a guest, I was surprised.
