John Oliver Attacks Mike Pence Over Harmless Bunny Book
Townhall.com ^ | March 2018 | Cortney O'Brien

Second lady Karen Pence and her daughter Charlotte Pence published a children's book this week about their pet bunny Marlon Bundo, who offers readers a glimpse into a day in the life of the vice president. Charlotte penned the poetry in the book, while Mrs. Pence drew the illustrations. I had the chance to speak with them about the project a few weeks ago. They were excited for the opportunity to share their talents and to offer a fun educational lesson on the office of the vice presidency. They also dished on what an honor it is to serve.

While bunny rabbits are about the most nonpartisan thing I can think of, somehow the book is being used to attack the vice president. HBO host John Oliver, with the help of his staff, offered his own version of the Marlon Bundo book on his program Sunday, turning the bunny gay. Why? Because one of the stops on the Pences' book tour is an "anti-LGBT organization," more accurately known as Focus on the Family.

“This is a real children’s book," Oliver said of his "better Bundo book." "This isn’t some adult book telling Mike Pence to go f*** himself. Although, in buying it, that’s exactly what you’d be doing.”

The Huffington Post seemed to be amused and suggested Pence had it coming since he's so "notoriously hostile to LBGTQ rights."

All proceeds from Oliver's "better Bundo book" will be donated to the Trevor Project, he said, which supports LGBTQ youth, and the AIDS United charity. 

The original book, Marlon Bundo's Day in the Life of the Vice President, is available here. The proceeds from that title are going toward an art therapy program called Tracy's Kids and a nonprofit, A21, working to fight slavery and sex trafficking.

I was picked for all ball sports last. I was embarrassingly bad at them. My vision was terrible. Up until I was 16 I didn’t know what 20 20 vision was. Did benefit me greatly though. I would memorize lectures on the fly.

Swimming was my sports savior. I was/am a friggin fish. Won sectionals and qualified for State my sophomore year. Placed 4th that year. I am a very hairy guy. Everyone else had shaved for state. I refused. I got the nickname the swimming gorilla. It was AOK with me. Swam the next year with what was close to a ZZ top beard. I was very popular because I was never carded and could buy the beer for the weekend.

Did a bit better that year, but had discovered the fairer sex my senior year and said swimming? Meh. Beard, Meh. Ladies, YEAH!!!

Where are the proceeds from the Pence book going to? The article didn't say, neither did their Amazon entry. I would think they would disclose it in light of where Oliver's money is going.

Shows how desperate the left is. I saw somewhere but at the time I didn't pay attention to it, of a left urging others to attack the book. Pathetic.

This reminded me to go to the bookstore and buy a couple copies for Easter presents. "Marlon Bundo's Day in the Life of the Vice President" sounds like a fun book.

Pence is going to be disaster in 2024 if doesn’t defend himself.

"Defend himself" against what - the unhinged ravings of an STD-ravaged faggot? Why should he even dignify that cr@p with a response?

I'm not talking referring to only this instance in particular. Pence is looking more and more like a GWB type and I'm with 9YearLurker in hoping someone else emerges.

How so? (Not that I'm wild about him for 2024.)
