Wanna complain about Glozell interviewing Obama? It works both ways, right wing media.

So right wing talking heads' newest poutrage story is about the YouTube interview with President Obama, highlighted by this Rob Lowe (when was the last time HE had a good movie?) tweet:



(Yeah the Glozell cereal video is real. Glozell is a YouTube comedian who has also done humorous commentary on news and pop culture. And if Obama DID meet with Netanyahu, these trolls would be complaining about Obama "influencing the Israeli election".)

Well, if right wingers want to complain about people who take away the dignity of the president's office, they ought to be thankful their candidates didn't make it.

Like Mike Huckabee:



See that guy on the left? He's known for:
- A song with "Poontang" in the title, with lyrics about a "teenage queen/lookin' so clean...down in between" and "so sweet when she yanks on my meat".
- Another song, "Cat Scratch Fever", whose lyrics include: "I make the pussy purr with the stroke of my hand".
- And getting the Secret Service to visit after commenting in spring 2012: "if Barack Obama becomes the president in November, I will either be dead or in jail by this time next year."

Speaking of songs that use "pussy" and "poontang"...I don't recall any right wing pundits taking Ted to task over those sexually explicit songs. But plenty of them will go after rap songs like David Banner's "Play" that are pretty much about the same stuff as "Cat Scratch Fever". Oh yeah, Mike Huckabee even performed "Cat Scratch" with Nugent on live TV and falsely claimed that Nugent changed the lyrics for this performance.



Mitt Romney shook hands with Kid Rock at a rally. OK, Kid Rock has his fair share of mellow, inoffensive songs, like "All Summer Long" (which stole from "Werewolves of London" and "Sweet Home Alabama&quot , "Born Free", and "Picture" (a duet with Sheryl Crow). But it doesn't excuse his more rancid songs. Like:
- "Fuck U Blind", a rap song with lyrics about "get(ting) a piece of pussy".
- "Bawitdaba", with lyrics like: "This is for...The midnight glancers and the topless dancers...it don't even matter if the veins are punctured" and many other references to drugs and sex.
- "So Hott", even sleazier with lyrics like: "you got a body like the devil and you smell like sex" and "I wanna get you stoned" and "I wanna fuck you like I'm never gonna see you again."

Pfft. Presidents/presidential candidates can't be rated G with their associates, it seems.
