[Begin transcript] It is Tuesday, September 09, 2008 and this is the Brandon Windsor Program Podcast. Those of you who have been around me for a while are well aware that I do not need any more reasons to not vote for Barack Obama, but just in case there was a tiny sliver of possibility, I got another Sunday night. Now nobody over the age of seventeen watches MTV any more, so let me set this up for you. Apparently they hired a completely unknown British comedian named Russell Brand to host the MTV awards and to try and win over his young anti-Bush, pro-Obama audience he said this: [Begin audio clip] Russell Brand: As a representative of the global community…a visitor from abroad…I don’t want to come across a little bit biased, but could I please ask of you, people of America, please elect Barack Obama, please...on behalf of the world. Some people… some people, I think they’re called racists, say America is not ready for a black president, but I know America to be a forward thinking country, because otherwise would you have let that retarded thinking cowboy fellow to 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 would not be trusted with a pair of scissors. Very sweet of ya’ [End audio clip] Now this frankly pisses me off on two levels. First, when are entertainers going to realize that they are there to…oh, I don’t know…entertain! I get so sick of these morons like Barbara Streisand, The Dixie Chicks, and Sean “Puff-Puffy-P-Diddy-Daddy” Combs using their celebrity to try and tell me how to vote. This unknown and, in my opinion, untalented idiot Russell Brand was on MTV to entertain people—not to give his worthless opinion about our President or who he thinks should be the next President. Which brings me to my second point: I hate it when people from other countries try to tell us who we should elect as a leader. I mean think about it for a second. World wide the United States is hated. Why? Because our government is the greatest experiment in the history of the world and that pisses all the other countries off. In a time when most countries were bowing to someone’s throne or cowering in fear to a blood-thirsty dictator, our founding fathers were creating a country where the people were allowed to choose who would lead them. These people from other countries hate the fact that we not only threw off the shackles some of them still have, but also managed to become the most powerful country in the world. So let’s think about this. When someone from another country makes a suggestion about who should be our leader, do you honestly think they have our best interest in mind? Do you honestly think it’s because they want us to be more successful? Right! Speaking of my friend running for President Barry H. Obama, I nearly threw up my cereal this morning as I was checking out the news. I was reading the Political Punch blog which is written by ABC News campaign reporter Jake Tapper who was writing about Barack Obama’s speech in Michigan yesterday. As I was scanning down I read this quote: Barack Obama: I gotta admit these folks are shameless because the record is indisputable. I wouldn’t do that. I mean, I'm not perfect -- Woman in the Crowd: Yes, you are! Barack Obama: No, no, no, no. Talk to Michelle, she’ll tell you. Now look, I have been one of those people that have cracked joke after joke about Barack Obama as the messiah. I have been one of those people who has joked that his followers have sipped the Kool-Aid from the chalice of Barry and are permanently programmed to follow their leader off the cliff of Marxism. But, I was joking. This morning as I read the comment from the “woman in the crowd”, I realized it is all true and that reality makes me somewhere between sick and sad. Sick because any rational human being can see that Barack Obama is nothing more read less
