Missouri NAACP Chapter Calls For Federal Probe of Rodeo Clown Who Donned Obama Mask
WTF
Calls by the Missouri chapter of the NAACP for a federal investigation into a rodeo clown who donned a President Obama mask at the state fair last week are misguided and hypocritical, a Texas Republican congressman told FoxNews.com on Thursday.
U.S. Rep. Steve Stockman, who has invited the clown who wore the mask to perform in Texas, said the request for probes into the incident by the Justice Department and Secret Service are "silly" and should be ignored.

He at least deserves an IRS audit for mocking He who will not be mocked.
Pharoah?
It must really bust his chops every time he sees one of the political cartoons with the flop-ears.
During the first campaign he complained to Maureen Dowd that she made fun of them in one of her columns. His face is actually amazingly round, but the ears distort his symmetry to such a degree he could fill in for an Easter Island statue.
It's a good thing that the current president isn't George Bush. Otherwise, he would accused of being a fascist who violates the first amendment rights of a patriotic dissenter. Thank goodness.
