Friday Fun Stuff--A Rappin' Rove?

Some things are just so funny, and then there are some things that are just so bad that it is beyond embarrassing. The White House Correspondent's Dinner took place on March 28, 2008. From MSNBC:

Presidential top aide Karl Rove stole the show at the annual Radio and TV Correspondents' Association dinner in Washington DC Wednesday. The black-tie dinner was the group's 63rd annual gathering of journalists, politicians and their guests, features political and topical humor. The dinner allowed members of the media to have a good laugh at the president's expense -- and also a pat on the back or two.

Comics from the TV show "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" persuaded Rove to participate in an improvised rap song.

The comic told Rove to add his rap name -- MC Rove -- to the performance. Rove obliged, chiming in when prompted with his part, "I'm MC Rove" throughout the rap.

NBC White House correspondent David Gregory joined Rove on the stage as a dancer for the performance.

And Yahoo News has even more details regarding "MC Rove's" background:

The balding, bespectacled Rove was given a standing ovation at an annual broadcast journalists' awards dinner on Wednesday night when he danced and posed with his Blackberry during an improvised rap skit.

As boss
President George W. Bush looked on, Rove gamely flapped about the stage as comedian Brad Sherwood described his favourite pastimes: "Listen up suckas, don't get the jitters, but MC Rove tears the heads off of critters."

Rove had told Sherwood that he liked to hunt, collect stamps and "tear the heads off of small animals."

But I know you readers out there are just anxious to see MC Rove's captivating performance, and I've got it right here on YouTube:



It is certainly disturbing to think that this is what the Washington establishment considers as "humorous."
