An animation of Condi Rice tap dancing to "Jimmy Crack Corn".....

and Colin Powell saying "Lawdy, Lawdy, feets do yo stuff!"....would not go over well in modern America. I bring this up because so many have advised gay people not to be so "PC" in their criticism of the new JibJab spot. Governor McGreevey prancing around in a diaper and lisping "I'm gay!", using gay stereotypes right and left, are offensive to me. I will not "lighten up". Thank you.

(There, I feel better. ;))

3. it reminded me of the LOUSY SNL debate sketch

where they lampooned * for what he actually DID, and tried to smear Kerry with what they 'thought' he would do.

likewise, this LAME flash hit bushco on real issues (Halliburton) and tried to smear kerry/edwards on being gay...

it was VERY offensive and very CHILDISH

4. I thought the comparisons were pretty lame as well.

In trying to achieve some kind of "balance", they put very real, very immoral problems like war profiteering and corruption up against meaningless tabloid smears.

They also had Michael Moore as the flip-side of Limbaugh, which is a comparison that always bugs me. The difference in standards and complete lack of perspective is amazing.

5. Whenever I see

Whenever I see Rice, Powell or "Slappy' Thomas the words "yes sah massa bush, suh, I's be doin it rights now suh!" just come to mind. But then I think any black repubicans are friggin Uncle Toms.

(I didn't see the JibJab but then it did sound pretty offensive)

6. And why does MSNBC keep showing it?

All. Day. Long.

7. If Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares...

...why do we have a song about him???
