Obama Joins Nelly for “Tip Drill” Performance

(Cross-posted on Kos — with links)

Last night Barack Obama joined Hip Hop star Nelly in a performance of Tip Drill before 50,000 screaming fans at “Ho-Fest 2008” at Detroit’s Ford Field.

The high point of the night was when Obama invited his wife Michelle onstage and re-enacted the famous Tip Drill video.  The crowd went crazy as Michelle and Barack performed the hilarious credit card move.

The performance was immediately condemned by:

NBC, ABC, CBS the NY Times, the Washington Post, MSNBC, CNN, FOX, Lifetime, Oxygen, Emily’s List, NOW, NARAL, PUMA, the Family Research Council,  the White Citizens Council, Focus on the Family, Family Circus, Planned Parenthood, NARAL and the United League of Purity Balls.

Seeking to “shore up his base” among misogynist rappers, Obama appeared at Ho-Fest 2008 along with Nelly, Ludacris, 50 Cent, Lil Wayne, Snoop Dogg and a special performance of Me So Horny by a reunited 2 Live Crew. In a nod to racial harmony, there was an appearance by Eminem doing “Kim.”

The media reaction was swift and furious.  

David Broder went into cardiac arrest.  

Rush Limbaugh swallowed his cigar.

George Stepanopolous asked Obama surrogate Cornell West “Is Obama more patriotic than Nelly?”

and Ann Coulter had multiple orgasms.

The Obama camp was taken by surprise.  David Plouffe asked, “Sheesh. Who could object to these lyrics?:”
