The British actor-comedian, Russell Brand, the host of the MTV Music Video Awards, started off the night calling those Americans racist who do not vote for Barack Obama. He followed that up by saying that President Bush was retarded.
The MTV audience loved him.
It didn’t bother them a bit that this foreigner just came to America to tell them how to vote and then called their current leader a retarded cowboy.
Breitbart also has the video posted.
Brand, a self-described representative of the global community like Obama, pleaded with the audience to please elect Barack Obama:
“Please elect Barack Obama. Please… On behalf of the world. Some people… Some people, I think they’re called racists, say America is not ready for a black president. But, I know America to be a forward thinking country, right? Because, otherwise, you know, you would have let that retarded cowboy fellow be president for 8 years? We were very impressed. It was nice of you to let that one go because in England George Bush wouldn’t be trusted with a pair of scissors.”
But, Brand wasn’t the done. He also joked about the Palins, of course, saying Bristol Palin’s pregnancy was a “PR stunt” and he warned the audience:
“I am obliged by broadcasting law to show some balance in this situation, which means, uh, the Republicans might be alright. Sarah Palin. She’s a VILF! A vice president I’d like to…fumble, fondle, I dunno. I do feel a little bit sorry for her daughter, getting pregnant, poor kid. Is it a boy? Is it a girl? It’s a P.R. stunt. Come on. Be honest.
And I feel most sorry for that poor teenaged father. Boy. One minute, he’s just a teenaged lad in Alaska having joyful, unprotected sex. And the next minute: Get to the Republican convention. I think that is the best safe sex message of all time. Use a condom or become Republican! …That boy will spend the rest of his life masturbating while wearing a condom.”
They loved him.
Russell Simmons added this on Sarah Palin:
“Palin, what’s that?” Simmons asked about the John McCain’s running-mate choice. “He went all the way to the right and got the most conservative person who knows nothing about the struggle of most Americans and made her the vice presidential nominee. That’s amazing. Any skirt will do.”
Michelle Malkin has more on MTV piling on the Palins.
And, of course, the AP approved:
…Brand surely won at least as many enemies as fans on Sunday night. But in contrast to some of the personality-less pop stars this “American Idol”-crazy country has been producing lately, an import was a welcome change.
