Barack Obama’s Newest Global Celebrity Supporter: Russell Brand

Representative from the "global community"
Ed. note: Please welcome the newest 'Grok contributor Elise. Attending an Eastern US university, she finds herself swimming in a sea of liberals and otherwise "malleable minds" that are our up and coming generations. She will share her thoughts on campus life and whatever else comes to mind. We're always on the lookout for fresh perspectives here at the 'Grok and, well let's face it, Skip and I will have a hard time giving that of a 19 year old, because, well, Skip's not 19 anymore... Without further ado, we give you the first contribution from

MTV Video Music Awards (VMA) decided to celebrate the awards show’s 25th year by choosing British comedian Russell Brand to host the special that aired on MTV and VH-1 on Sunday September 7th.
After an exciting opening performance by pop-star Rhianna, Russell Brand welcomed everyone to the VMAs at the Paramount Lot and then proceeded to endorse Barack Obama, insult George W. Bush, degrade Sarah Palin, and make fun of the Christian rock band The Jonas Brothers.
“Now as a representative of the global community, a visitor from abroad, I don’t was to come off a little biased, but could I please ask of you people in America to please elect Barack Obama.
Please, on behalf of the world. Some people, I think they’re called racists, say that America is not ready for a black president, but I know America to be a forward thinking country because otherwise, you know, would you have let that retarded cowboy fellow be president for eight years? We were very impressed. It was nice of you to let him have a go because in England George Bush wouldn’t be trusted with a pair of scissors.”
Just when you thought that MTV had given you your dose for swimming against the sea of pop culture and not jumping right onto the liberal bandwagon, Russell Brand took things even further.
“I am required by broadcasting law to show some balance which means the Republicans might be alright. Uh, Sarah Palin she’s a VILF, a Vice President I’d like to fumble, fondle uh I dunno.”
After degrading Palin he briefly discussed her daughter’s pregnancy as a P.R. stunt, and claimed that Levi Johnston (the father of Palin’s grandchild to be) was immediately flown into the RNC when the news broke and this was his punishment for having unprotected sex.
“The whole situation in fact makes the whole fact of pledging to God to remain a virgin until marriage seem like a good idea."
[Implied: compared to becoming a Republican].
"So well done to the Jonas Brothers! God Bless those boys. In case you didn’t know, each of the Jonas Brothers does wear a tiny ring as a mark of their commitment to God. I’d take them more seriously if they wore it on their genitals.”
MTV is known for its liberal bias. The channel’s infatuation with Hollywood goes perfectly with Barack Obama’s celebrity status and their continued dribble that flows from the tube to the malleable minds of America’s next generations.
