Eminem Sleeping with Michelle Obama in New Video

Wow! Anyone see this one yet? Eminem, after a decade long hiatus is back bigger than ever, and even satirizing the Messiah's wife. Michelle, in the video, is depicted either as prostitute or a porn star - either fits. While Eminem is challenging the traditional boundaries, on the other hand, this is just a rapper doing what he's normally doing, spoofing on cops or calling women "Hos" or whatever. I'm sure hollywood, the media, and the like can understand this. I'm sure we won't hear anything from Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, or other actors or politicians.

RELAX! I'm just making this up. The video does not depict Michelle Obama in this way. Nor does he go after the Obama daughters. It's actually Sarah Palin. So that's ok. But imagine if it were Michelle Obama. Would there be outrage? I'll let you decide.

Kudos to Greg Gutfeld for picking up the story on Redeye on Fox News. One comment which I agree with (and I'm paraphrasing a little): If he's really looking for shock value, picking Sarah Palin is a poor choice. Picking on a conservative politican? C'mon - been there, done that. Going after Michelle would really have achieved shock value, but that would require real "guts" which Eminem obviously doesn't have.
