Al Sharpton Slams Michelle Obama: ‘You Cock-Blocked the President!’
By Mark Donahue
KAILUA, Hawaii – The White House was so impressed with Michelle Obama’s guest spot on Al Sharpton’s afternoon radio show a few weeks ago that the first lady agreed to appear on Sharpton’s MSNBC cable news show tonight. The interview was taped this morning in Hawaii where the Obama’s are vacationing for the holidays. Following is a transcript of that interview which airs on Sharpton’s show, PoliticsNation, at 6:00 tonight on MSNBC.

AL SHARPTON: My special show tonight on MSNBC is being broadcasted from sunny and warm Hawaiian. My guest is Mrs. President Obama. (Looks at Mrs. Obama) Welcome to my own news show on MSNBC, Mrs. President.

MICHELLE OBAMA: Please Al, call me Michelle.

AL SHARPTON: And I would refer you call me Reverend.

MICHELLE OBAMA: Of course, Reverend.

AL SHARPTON: I just want to let you know I’ve procreated you a copy of my new book which I will sign before you dismount from the studio today.

MICHELLE OBAMA: Why thank you, Reverend.

AL SHARPTON: My indeeded pleasure, Mrs. President.

MICHELLE OBAMA: Please, call me Michelle.

AL SHARPTON: In all due regrets, do you think Mrs. Reagan would ask me to call her Betty?

MICHELLE OBAMA: She’d probably ask you to call her Nancy.

AL SHARPTON: Why would she do that?

MICHELLE OBAMA: Because that’s her name.

AL SHARPTON: (chuckles) Well, she is a Republican!

(Michelle Obama looks confused)

AL SHARPTON: Your husband is the Commander of the Chiefs. He is also an African American man of color as are you.

MICHELLE OBAMA: Well, I’m an African American woman.

AL SHARPTON: My bad, Mrs. Michelle.

MICHELLE OBAMA: (smiles)

AL SHARPTON: Do you believe that in this age of stripe and inoperance there is still hope for change?

MICHELLE OBAMA: Oh, of course, Reverend.

AL SHARPTON: Let us start with the imported matters of the day. The president’s healthcare plantation is falling apart at the sleeves. Russian leader Prutin demasculated President Obama in front of the world stage and windmills are decapritating the bald heads off eagles. What say you, Madam leader?

MICHELLE OBAMA: Well, uh, I really don’t know where to start.

AL SHARPTON: Let’s ignitiate our start with the funeral of Nelsen Mandela, an African American who was a real African.

MICHELLE OBAMA: Actually, he wasn’t African American, Reverend.

AL SHARPTON: (does an exaggerated double-take) You gonna tell me Nelsen Mandela wasn’t an African American man of color from Africa?

MICHELLE OBAMA: Yes, he was an African man, uh, of color, as you say. But he wasn’t an American.

AL SHARPTON: Of course he wasn’t American. That’s why I said he was a real African American.

MICHELLE OBAMA: (smiles)

AL SHARPTON: During Mandela’s funeral your husband was coming on pretty heavy to a white woman in the stands and that obviously bothered you.

MICHELLE OBAMA: (laughs) Well, first of all my husband wasn’t coming-on to anyone at the memorial, Reverend.

AL SHARPTON: (snickering) If he wasn’t coming on to the white lady he was chattin’ up, why’d you get all Housewives of Atlanta and cock-block him?

MICHELLE OBAMA: (wide-eyed) Excuse me?

AL SHARPTON: You cock-blocked the commander of the chiefs. You sat between him and that white lady. I saw it on TV with my eyes!

MICHELLE OBAMA: Mr. Sharpton, have you forgotten who you’re talking to.

AL SHARPTON: You’re Michelle, the first African American lady in America.

MICHELLE OBAMA: I think I’d prefer it if you addressed me as Mrs. Obama, or better yet, Madam First Lady.

AL SHARPTON: When I initialized the show I called you Mrs. Obama and you desisted that I call you Michelle.

MICHELLE OBAMA: Well, that was before this interview became objectionable.

AL SHARPTON: I’m the host of my own news show on MSNBC, Mrs. First Madam. I’m expectant to ask the tough questions.

MICHELLE OBAMA: I’m sorry, but I think you’ve been quite discourteous to the First Lady of the United States.

AL SHARPTON: (Puts his hands in the air) OK, OK! We don’t need to dwell on the cock-block. That’s between you and the commander. What happens in Abraham Lincoln’s bedroom stays in Las Vegas.

MICHELLE OBAMA: Are we almost done here, Reverend?

AL SHARPTON: One final question. You are on vacation in Hawaii. After what happened at the Mandela funeral, will you let President Obama follicle in the ocean this year without his shirt on?

MICHELLE OBAMA: Why are you asking me that?

AL SHARPTON: What if a wet white lady in a bikini starts taking shelfies with the commander? That could have devastating consequencials. I mean, the president’s approval ratings are already plummering. If he’s seen chatting up half-naked white women on the beach it could embroider the Tea Baggers to gain momentous.

(Michelle Obama impatiently pulls at the microphone on her lapel)

AL SHARPTON: What are you doing, Mrs. Madam Michelle?

(The first lady glares at Sharpton as she stomps off the set)

AL SHARPTON: (yelling) Mrs. Michelle, wait! I didn’t autograph my new book for you!

Chris Christie’s Staff Blames Bridge Closing on Anti-Islam Video
By Mark Donahue
TRENTON – This afternoon loyal staff members for New Jersey Governor Chris Christie alleged the September closing of traffic lanes leading to the George Washington bridge was the result of a spontaneous reaction to an anti-Islam Youtube video. Although Gov. Christie has apologized for “unwittingly” misleading the public, calling the bridge closing “embarrassing and humiliating,” his staffers have nevertheless filed a complaint with the justice department, calling for an FBI investigation. Christie spokesman Collin Reed read a brief statement to reporters.

“The information, the best information and the best assessment we have today is that in fact these were not preplanned, premeditated lane closings. That what happened was a spontaneous reaction to a vile and despicable film that pokes fun at the prophet Mohammad. Let me state very clearly and I hope it is obvious, that the New Jersey Governor’s office had absolutely nothing to do with this insensitive video. We absolutely reject its content and message and call for the immediate investigation of its filmmaker.”

After attending a fundraiser at Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein’s Malibu home today, President Obama was asked by reporters to comment on the bridge closing

“I want to personally extend my heartfelt sympathies to the victims of the lane closings,” Obama said. “If I had family members who commuted from New Jersey to New York, some of them would look like the folks stuck on the George Washington bridge. Now, it seems highly implausible that the horrifying chaos so many of us watched unfold on the George Washington bridge was a spontaneous reaction to a silly Youtube video. But I find it even harder to believe the American people are gullible enough to accept such a ludicrous story. The American people aren’t stupid.”

Vice President Biden was cajoling seniors to purchase shotguns at the End of the Linenursing home in Baltimore when a resident asked him about the Youtube video story.

“It’s down right embarrassing Governor Christie’s people have decided to blame the closing of that bridge on a harmless video in order to cover their own butts,” Biden told the seniors. “The American people aren’t stupid, folks. I can tell that just just by looking at ya’ll. Now, how many of you are gonna believe a video nobody has seen triggered the carnage on the George Washington bridge?” Biden smiled and winked at the seniors. “See, I knew you were a smart bunch. Now, who wants to buy a double barrel shotgun?”

Just minutes after news of the bridge closing developments began circulating, MSNBC’s Chris Matthews received a phone call from former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton during the taping of his show, Hardball.

CHRIS MATTHEWS: I’m on the phone live with former Secretary of State Clinton. Thank you for calling, Madam Secretary.

HILLARY: Oh, my pleasure Chris.

CHRIS MATTHEWS: Madam Secretary, what was your initial reaction when you heard the Christie people are blaming a Youtube video for the George Washington bridge lane closings?

HILLARY: Oh gosh, Chris. Not only is it shameful to blame a harmless video that nobody has seen for the massacre on that bridge, but to hide behind a lie in order to avoid responsibility is … well, it’s unconscionable.

CHRIS MATTHEWS: Amazing isn’t it, Madam Secretary?

HILLARY: What kind of people are capable of such acts of cowardice, Chris? It’s deplorable, inexcusable and frankly, it’s un- American.

CHRIS MATTHEWS: You hit the nail on the head, Madam President. Ha! It is un-American! Look, I know you have to go but I have to ask, are you running for president in 2016?

HILLARY: (laughing loudly) Oh gosh, Chris, the last thing on my mind right now is running for president!

CHRIS MATTHEWS: Thank you for calling, Madam President. I’m back with my guest, African American journalist, Eugene Robinson. (Looks at Robinson) What the heck is going on in New Jersey, my African American friend? Is this Chris Christie’s dress stain? His illegitimate love-child? His toe-tap in the airport men’s room?

EUGENE ROBINSON: Well I ….

CHRIS MATTHEWS: And my God, what about the covert racism? Are Republicans ever going to evolve from the Jim Crow era? Did you happen to notice how many times Gov. Christie said bridge during his mea culpa?

EUGENE ROBINSON: Uh, another racial code word?

CHRIS MATTHEWS: Ha! Look at you, Eugene, playing naive! Ha! Why doesn’t Christie just wear his white hood to press conferences?

EUGENE ROBINSON: I think …

CHRIS MATTHEWS: But the gall, Eugene … laying the blame for the lane closings on a video nobody’s seen? Is that the best they can do? How stupid do these white men think we are? Is it any wonder Republicans have alienated women and Hispanics? Huh? Talk to me my African American friend.

EUGENE ROBINSON: Well, what I think ….

CHRIS MATTHEWS: Hold on, Eugene. (listens to earpiece) Looks like they need to wipe the spittle off the camera lens again. Let’s take a commercial break and when we come back, MSNBC lesbian Rachel Maddow will tell us about the devastating effects Christie’s bridge closing had on the LGBT community. You’re watching Hardball!

I know it may be a surprise to you, but there are an awful lot of conservatives like me who don't care a whit about Chris Christie. In my view he betrayed Lonegan, a conservative tea party candidate, to help his buddy, Cory Booker, get in the Senate. That was nuts.

The only mystery is why your thought leaders whipped liberals up against Christie NOW, instead of helping him get the nomination and THEN unleashing the media mob.

Calling Maddow a journalist is no different than calling Limbaugh one. They are both entertainers. In fact, MSNBC has admitted it is no longer in the news business. Fox is the only cable news outlet remaining.
