Just when we thought the media furor between NBC's Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and Rep. Michele Bachmann was finished, this could stir things up again: Fallon's band leader and drummer Questlove says "Tea Party extremists" are hurling racial slurs at him on Twitter... "Blocking 3,500 Tea Party extremists [on Twitter] in a three day period is no fun, especially when you're a drummer dangerously close to carpal tunnel." Of course, it's highly doubtful the alleged Twitter attackers actually identified themselves as Tea Party members in their Tweets, so he's presumably making an assumption there. The band played "Lyin' A** B****" during the Republican presidential candidate's appearance on the show last week. She demanded an apology from NBC and got it (though was reportedly miffed the apology came from the network's late night chief rather than the NBC president).... "It deeply offended a lot of women's groups and non-Bachmann supporters, and for that I'm deeply sorry... but those who truly know me know that that's not me. I was really just going with her whole revisionist history angle, I wasn't calling it out on her being a woman."

The years have been rough on Buckwheat since Our Gang faded away.
Lying Sexist A-hole ping.
If you look up “dirtbag” in the dictionary, you’ll this guy’s picture.
Wow. This guy is really going at the victim angle hard here.
Carpal Tunnel
Misunderstood
Racial Discrimination
Boy. This guy couldn’t just find a few more to throw in there, could he? As an ex-drummer here, I know there are a lot of musicians who think he should toss that in as well...:)
My favorite — “NBC had no comment”; of course NBC had a comment, two in fact. Number one, it’s a nest of partisan shills, especially including the NBC president, who didn’t apologize on behalf of the network; number two, NBC didn’t fire Questlove and his band, or better yet, lay down the law to the worthless waste of skin Jimmy Fallon and tell him either he fires them, or the show ends.
GAAAAACK!
Who the heck is THAT!!?? “Questlove”?
They can dish it. Taking it it? That should be illegal, or something. How’s my hair?
Hey, you’re being a little rough on dirtbags.
/bingo
Revisionist history? Only according to folks who don't know squat about history.
It’s spelled “Questlove”, pronounced “Pee Oh Ess”.
/bingo
I guess we should be happy that he was only being aggressively politically partisan and just missed the gender thing.
Who the heck is THAT!!?? “Questlove”?

LOL! Got it.
It’s thoughtful of him to come pre-equipped with the firing squad target though.
