FOX Honkies Rehearse for Harlem Minstrel Show
54I'll probably get strangled for this, but I just had to crash the final rehearsals this week and they were nothing short of jaw dropping. Commanding the Apollo stage was GOP hack and author of Who's Loofing Out For You? Bill Bleachedwheat O'Reilly belting out all of America's Jim Crow favorites; My White Heaven, Alabamy Bound and I'm Going South, just to name a few. Don Imus was plucked from the audience to be serenaded with Baby Face. Later teaming up with Ann Coulter for a skit entitled ‘Imus ‘N' Annie' Don was one nappy headed ho.
And folks, you aint heard nothin' yet. Harkening back to a bygone error when racism was all the vogue, FOX pundits pulled out the stops on You Made Me Love You from Honeymoon Express, and in a tribute to Ronald Reagan, Massah's in de Col' Col' Groun'. ‘Aunt Jemima' Rice was swooned by Colin Powell with Condonia (What Make Yo Big Head So Hard).
Vote cager Karl Rove joined redistricting coordinator Tom Delay in a medley of By the Light of the Silvery Moon and Back in Your Own Backyard. Finally, Larry Craig led the Gay Old Perverts in a toe-tapping rendition of Foot, Foot Footsie.
Afterward I joined the cast at a toney Manhattan eatery. Had a great time, and all the people up there are tremendously respectful. I couldn't get over the fact that there was no difference between the Four Seasons restaurant and any other restaurant in New York City. I mean, it was exactly the same, even though it's run by whites, primarily white ‘patronship'. Later, during a discussion with National Public Radio senior correspondent and Fox News lawn jockey Juan Williams about the effect of hate speech on culture, I asserted: There wasn't one person there who was screaming, "Hey nigger. Git me some iced tea, boy." You know, I mean, everybody was -- it was like going into a soul food restaurant in an all black ghetto in the sense of people were sitting there, and they were ordering and having fun.
Network bigots displayed all the decorum one might expect at some place like, say, Sylvia's. I mean I expected to see ‘these people' lynching blacks, burning crosses and running amuck, you know, wearing hoods and brandishing torches. You hear so much about how ‘these people' are always stealing elections and starting wars but there wasn't any kind of craziness at all. ‘These people' were just as docile as Barack OB'wana. I think white Americans are starting to think more and more for themselves. They're getting away from the fanatical Pat Robertsons and George Bush sons-of-gods, the people trying to lead them into a race-based culture. They're just trying to figure it out. ‘Look, I can make it. If I work hard and acquire some social etiquette, I can make it.'

Oh, man, you pegged this one right on the proverbial head! I am seeing pictures in my imagination of these politico-clowns dancing around the stage, acting as stupid as those cowboys in Blazing Saddles when they asked asked for one of those 'old slave songs' from the railroad workers. "Camptown ladies sing this song, do-dah, do-dah!"
"What in the wild, wild world of sports is going on here?" Taggart demands to know. Somehow I see Bush playing that Slim PIckins part of Taggart, with Cheney as Hedley Lamarr and Donald Rumsfeld as the hangman. Karl Rove could play Mongo - especially the bean-scene, since most of what Rove says sounds to me like that intestinal symphony of bean gas!
