Yesterday (November 22), Jimmy Fallon apologized to Bachmann via [URL="http://allhiphop.com/2011/11/23/presidential-hopeful-michele-bachmann-accuses-questlove-jimmy-fallon-nbc-of-sexism/#"]Twitter[IMG]http://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif[/IMG][/URL], for the show’s house band’s’ song choice. “I’m honored that @michelebachmann was on our show yesterday and I’m so sorry about the intro mess,” Jimmy Fallon tweeted yesterday. “I really hope she comes back.” While Questlove stopped short of apologizing, he stated that he was sorry if he hurt the presidential hopeful’s feelings, with [URL="http://allhiphop.com/2011/11/23/presidential-hopeful-michele-bachmann-accuses-questlove-jimmy-fallon-nbc-of-sexism/#"]the Grammy[IMG]http://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif[/IMG][/URL] Award winning group’s song choice. Questlove issued a statement over his song choice, which he labeled as “Snark” on his Twitter account in a later update. “The performance was a tongue-in-cheek and spur of the moment decision,” [URL="http://blogs.wsj.com/speakeasy/2011/11/22/questlove-says-bachmann-song-‘tongue-in-cheek’/"]Questlove told the Wall Street Journal. [/URL]“The show was not aware of it and I feel bad if her feelings were hurt. That was not my intention.” After their apologies, Michele Bachmann appeared on Fox News’ “America’s Newsroom,” and accused [URL="http://allhiphop.com/2011/11/23/presidential-hopeful-michele-bachmann-accuses-questlove-jimmy-fallon-nbc-of-sexism/#"]NBC[/URL] of operating with a double standard and not taking action. Bachmann, who was promoting her book “Core of Conviction,” also hinted that NBC should suspend, or even fire Questlove. “I think the point is, if that had been Michelle Obama who had come out on the stage, and if that song had been played for Michelle Obama, I have no doubt that NBC would have apologized to her and likely they could have fired the drummer, at least suspended him,” Michele Bachman said. “None of that happened from NBC. And this is clearly a form of bias on the part of the Hollywood entertainment elite, but it’s also, I think, sexism as well.”[/QUOTE]

Huh... Shouldn't she had payed more attention to the lyin' part?

I wouldn't be suprised if Jimmy Fallon was in on it. He's a pretty cool dude. He was a computer programmer before coming to NBC.

She doesn't seem like the type to be all that concerned about feminism to me.

And she's a homophobe.

how unprofessional of them

[QUOTE=R3N3GADE;33408883]how unprofessional of them[/QUOTE] I can't believe this, I would never expect discourtesy on a late-night comedy show. Unheard of.

Oh Bachmann, such a naïve woman...

Lying Ass Bitch she is.

[QUOTE=HawkeyeTy;33408983]I can't believe this, I would never expect discourtesy on a late-night comedy show. Unheard of.[/QUOTE] there's a difference between poking fun at them and this maliciousness. would you defend mr fallon if he called a homosexual guest a "fucking queer cunt who doesn't deserve to be around healthy straights" on the grounds that it's a comedy show?

why would they say sorry they don't have to

Uh oh this is gonna end up like that other thread with the word 'bitch' in it.

Gay people are gay people. Stop trying to tie together 2 totally different things and maybe formulate an actual argument? Better yet; stop trying to be the white knight and accept Bachmann deserves this ''humiliation'' for being the idiot she is.

Oh god, that's genius. Well played.

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OuiuolN1r4[/media] God damn its catchy.

She needs to calm down. Its not like she doesnt offend people on a regular basis.

Fuck off If it was Michelle Obama, they would have no reason to play that song. Because Obama isn't a lyin ass bitch. Deal with it Bachmann

Fishbone is cool. The Roots are cool too. Michelle Bachmann is not cool.

[QUOTE=Higginz511;33409731] God damn its catchy.[/QUOTE] Fuck yes; anyone who hasn't listened to a Fishbone album should do so immediately.

Jimmy has no balls. He shouldn't of bowed down and apologized to Michelle, and instead used the situation to turn around and call her out.

[QUOTE=dass;33408759]Huh... Shouldn't she had payed more attention to the lyin' part?[/QUOTE] Yeah, definitely an ass-bitch. I hate ass-bitches.

[QUOTE=RuinedIt;33410119]Jimmy has no balls. He shouldn't of bowed down and apologized to Michelle, and instead used the situation to turn around and call her out.[/QUOTE] He's a talentless hack. I feel bad for The Roots. They used to be at the top of their game. Instead they've become Jimmy Failon's backround music.

?uestlove kicks ass.

pretty tasteless but tasteless comedy can be funny as hell

I don't see how that's sexist. and i'd say it's very tasteful.

[QUOTE=Killer900;33408817]And she's a homophobe.[/QUOTE] No way, she loves Marcus Bachmann with all of her disgusting soul.

She's a lyin'ass bitch though.
