Awww po’ thang… As we reported earlier today, Jimmy Fallon’s house band The Roots, had a very specific song that they wanted to play as GOP Presidential candidate Michele Bachmann walked out onto the stage last night. GOP presidential candidate Michele Bachmann is lashing out at NBC for not apologizing or taking immediate disciplinary action for an off-color song played during her appearance on Jimmy Fallon’s “Late Night.” (Msnbc.com is a joint venture of Microsoft and NBC Universal.) Bachmann said Wednesday on the Fox News Channel that the Fallon show band displayed sexism and bias by playing a snippet of a 1985 Fishbone song. The title of the song is “Lyin’ Ass B—-.” Fallon has tweeted an apology to Bachmann for “the intro mess” during her appearance earlier in the week. But Bachmann expressed surprise that the TV network hasn’t apologized or disciplined the show’s Roots band. “This is clearly a form of bias on the part of the Hollywood entertainment elite,” Bachmann said. She added, “This wouldn’t be tolerated if this was Michelle Obama. It shouldn’t be tolerated if it’s a conservative woman either.” Whoa dere…first things first, just because your name is “Michele” doesn’t mean that you are ANYTHING like Michelle Obama! Furthermore, there are MANY reported discrepancies in the the stories you’ve have told about receiving gov’t funds for businesses that you own or benefit from. Let’s be clear… Not for nothin’, but Bachmann shouldn’t feel too bad, The Roots have done this same thing a several people. The Roots frequently make sly, often obscure, song choices as Fallon’s guests are introduced. When Fox Business Network’s Lou Dobbs came out, they played part of Genesis’ “Illegal Alien,” a reference to Dobbs’ frequent commentaries on the topic. Current TV host Keith Olbermann, formerly of MSNBC, heard part of Klymaxx’s “I Miss You.” Kathie Lee Gifford was saluted with UB40′s “Red Red Wine,” a reference to the drink she often shares on-air with “Today” co-host Hoda Kotb.
