And Now, The Comedic Stylings Of Reggie Brown

June 20th, 2011 by Arturo

Meanwhile, the joke has ended up on the RLC: having an Obama impersonator appear was the kind of thing even GOP stalwarts Haley Barbour and Bobby Jindal said during the conference the party shouldn’t be doing. And now more people are talking about Brown’s appearance than the fact that Texas Libertarian Ron Paul and former U.S. Ambassador to China Jon Huntsman finished atop a straw poll held at the conference, ahead of Pawlenty, Romney, Bachmann and the lone POC candidate, Herman “Muslims get the special oath” Cain.

    I drew a blank after he said he only celebrated half of Black History Month. And then I was like “oohhh,” it’s cause he’s “half black.” Funny. 

    Haha, but funny they liked so little of his material. Can’t expect equal opportunity at a Republican function. 

    And wow, it only took them reflection after the fact to consider that hiring an impersonator, when the president is neither dead nor out of office, was the wrong thing. Cause it’s not like he’d ever show up to these events. Why, he probably lost his invitation in the mail.

    Am I totally awful if I think the crack about only celebrating half of Black History Month is funny?  Overall, I think it was a hit-or-miss set, with less hits than misses, but I’m ok with that 1st line.  As well as the part about Pawlenty and ObamneyCare.

    …am I totally off?

    Whatever you say about his set–the man has balls of steel!

    The real Obama is funnier. I still can’t get over the Lion King clip.
