And what's up with that name?
?uestlove may be hip, but he could take a few lessons in class
I probably shouldn't take seriously anyone who starts his name with a question mark. I mean, even when Prince exhanged roman numerals for that bizarre "The artist formerly know as" symbol, he kept it simple and ditched the letters.
But I couldn't let what Philly's troubador did this week slip by without comment. As pretty much everyone who pays attention to these things knows by now, Mr. Love and the other Punctuation Marks that make up his group are the house band for Jimmy Fallon's late night show.
Fallon hosted Michelle Bachmann as a guest Monday night. She did a great job parrying with the host and showing she is not only witty, but has her wits about her.
The problem wasn't the host. It was the band, which introduced the presidential candidate with the song "Lyin' A-- Bitch."
I have no problem with people making fun of Michelle Bachmann. She sometimes brings it on herself, as does President Obama, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Barney Frank, Sarah Palin, Ron Paul, Herman Cain and a host of other luminaries.
But this was misogyny, the kind that gets lobbed at certain women, mostly conservative, mostly attractive. (Nancy Pelosi is the only liberal female I know of who gets the same kind of treatment from her political opponents.)
If Mr. Question Mark thinks he gained any points on the "Hip Meter" with that stunt, he's wrong. If anything, he's a classless, albeit talented, boor.
A woman who apologizes for pedophiles should be the last person lecturing anyone about class.— chasing history
Comment removed.- Judging from your screen name, and your comment, the history you must be chasing is either that of the Star Chamber or the Stalin Show Trials where due process was optional.— Christine

How can you say that about Bachmann when we have Joe Biden, Pelosi, Reid and a whole host of others. It is all relative. If I follow your logic, Hamblin, you are a last class A-hole.— PlumberJoe
Can't the question fairly be asked: Why go on the (very effeminate)Jimmy Fallon's show? What was she hoping to accomplish there? Any chance of gaining steam in the primary? No. Conservatives make their own problems by appearing in these very low class venues. What's next, an appearance on Bill Maher?
Would this low class brutha have called black Michelle-of-the-Victory-Garden a lyin B? I think not.— retour- Comment removed.
- RHO; Jimmy Fallon IS quite noticeably effeminate. You could only dispute this if you have never seen him on TV. Not gay but very girlish. Yes I do relate it to his shallow liberalism and meant it as a negative observation. Is that somehow worse than your calling someone with twice your IQ (Bachmann) a "1st class goofball?"
Also, for the record, it is undoubtable that both Fallon and his pig bandleader are Obama voter's, like you!
Further, I do not need to build credibility here, I speak my mind truthfully, despite the fact that it is offensive to naive effeminate liberals like you RHO. CF seems to be courting you lately, but you are undeniably an Obama/Occupier apologist, i.e., a juvenile snarkster who would end his posts with: "LOL." This is not like texting or tweeting with effeminate Jimmy Fallon. When you actually write something funny here, we'll let you know. Happy TG.— retour - Comment removed.
- To me, an effeminate man is one who is very feminine in his mannerisms and behavior. It is as simple as that. Jimmy Fallon fits that description. I tried to make the distinction between effeminate liberals, like E.J. Dionne, and lisping homosexuals like Barney Frank (not effeminate) and Andrew Sullivan.
I don't have any serious issues with my sexuality. Haven't you ever heard the expression effeminate liberalism before? I think you need to read from more of my fascist sources.
This is fun. I shouldn't have used the word "courting." All I meant was that Chris has recently been acknowledging small areas of agreement with you; and your new moderate tone. Chris, like Magistra, was also a teacher (briefly) and doesn't want her students/commenters hurling invective when she has her back to the room.— retour - Comment removed.
- Perhaps she wanted to spend time with someone more manly than her husband. — Ed G
