Thou Shalt Not Mock Thy Puffed Up God
This is just incredibly appalling
The fallout from a Missouri rodeo clown’s mockery of President Obama continued as the Missouri State Fair said it will force all clowns to undergo sensitivity training and the head of the state rodeo-clown organization resigned.

“They mentioned the president’s name, I don’t know, 100 times. It was sickening,” Beam told the AP. “It was feeling like some kind of Klan rally you’d see on TV.”
Yes, “like you’d see on TV”
Because in all likelihood you’d never see it in, you know, real life.

“And so was the guy wearing the mask.”
I’m very glad I had just swallowed my drink before reading that…
Ricki, you don’t have to wonder. Apparently, the Missouri State Fair HAS done this gag before with Bush 43, and nobody said boo.
