"On November 21st, 2011, Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann was played on to Late Night with Jimmy Fallon to the Fishbone song "Lyin' Ass Bitch". The Roots drummer Questlove later explained that the playing of the song was "tongue in cheek". Fallon and the NBC network later apologized."
An egregious and unfortunate occurrence indeed. To imply that the singular female, republican presidential candidate intentionally tells untruths is unwarranted and unnecessary. And adding insult to injury, applying terminology normally applicable to canine subjects took the insult over the edge.
More unfortunate however, is the fact that neither Fishbone nor the Roots have written a song with a title like "Lunatic Lady", "Delusional Dame" or "Flaky Female", all of which would have been infinitely more appropriate. (see below)
(from the Huffington Post)
. . . that her campaign is helped by the fact that she hasn't "had a gaffe," an interesting -- though perhaps not surprising -- claim considering her knack for making misstatements.
"As people are looking at the candidate that is the most conservative and the most consistent candidate, I've been that candidate. I haven't had a gaffe or something that I've done that has caused me to fall in the polls," Bachmann told Greta van Susteren in a Fox News interview. "People see in me someone who's genuinely a social conservative, a fiscal conservative, a national security conservative and a Tea Partier. I'm the whole package."
