Joker of the Week Nods

It appears that Michelle Malkin will edge out the security guard and the L.A. Lakers and take the Joker of the Week crown for last week. But who pray tell will dethrone nutty Malkin to take the crown this week? I don't know....So many contenders, so little time.

Ralph Nader - For saying of Barack Obama recently, "There's only one thing different about Barack Obama when it comes to being a Democratic presidential candidate. He's half African-American. Whether that will make any difference, I don't know. I haven't heard him have a strong crackdown on economic exploitation in the ghettos. Payday loans, predatory lending, asbestos, lead. What's keeping him from doing that? Is it because he wants to talk white? He doesn't want to appear like Jesse Jackson? We'll see all that play out in the next few months and if he gets elected afterwards." He went on to say, "I mean, first of all, the number one thing that a black American politician aspiring to the presidency should be is to candidly describe the plight of the poor, especially in the inner cities and the rural areas, and have a very detailed platform about how the poor is going to be defended by the law, is going to be protected by the law, and is going to be liberated by the law. Haven't heard a thing." Wow. Nader's comments are so unbelievably patronizing, insulting and based on such generalizations that I don't know where to begin. Obama is talking white because he's articulate? Because he's running a national campaign and has to appeal to all voters? All black people are poor? All black politicians have an obligation to speak exactly the same? Nader is irrelevant and ridiculous at this point.

Maria Sharapova - For losing in the second round of Wimbeldon to a player ranked 154th in the world and then for being insulted by the player after she lost. After beating Sharapova, Alla Kudryavtseva said, "I don't like her outfit. It's a little too much of everything. ... It was one of the motivations to beat her." HAAAA!

Keyshia Cole, Her Mama and Her Sister - For Coles' craptastic BET Awards performance, her mother's general demeanor, and her sister's ill-fitting dress.

Shaq - For being stripped of his sheriff's badge after insulting Kobe in a freestyle rhyme. Shaq rapped - "You know how I be, Last week Kobe couldn't do without me...I'm a horse,Kobe ratted me out, That's why I'm getting divorced." Now, the basketball jab was funny, but I hardly think Kobe is the reason Shaq is getting divorced. Try fidelity Shaq.

Don Imus - See previous post.

Honorable Mentions:

Kanye West - For his rant against the Bonnaroo folks. He's the king alright--the king of hyperbole. He said, "This Bonnaroo thing is the worst insult I've ever had in my life. This is the most offended I've ever been ... this is the maddest I ever will be." Geez, didn't he say the same thing about the MTV video awards last year when they had him performing in the suites instead of on the main stage. I mean, "Stronger" was made for stadiums people. STADIUMS!!!!!!

Rick Ross's belly - No explanation needed.

Random Thoughts On The BET Awards

THOUGHTS

• Highlight - Al Green's performance and the audience enjoying Al Green. It looked like a real party and that was one moment I really wanted to be there and sing, "Why do people break up, turn around and make up? I just can't seeeee."

• Lowlight - Rick Ross's belly. Any euphoria that I had from seeing a fit and still sexy LL evaporated on seeing Ross's dancing tattooed belly through his open velour jacket.

• Highlight - A Keys bringing out SWV, En Vogue and TLC. Even some of the missed notes didn't tamp down my excitement.

• Lowlight - Keyshia Cole's performance and her sister's boobs about to pop out of her dress--leftie was making a real run for the border.

• Highlight - Marvin Sapp's performance.

• Lowlight - D.L. Hughley calling him "Warren" Sapp. HAAAAAAAAAAAA!

• Highlight - The rain special effects during Chris Brown's performance and the plastered smile on Rihanna's face while Ciara was puttin' it on her man.

• Lowlight - Seeing lil' Chrissy Brown's pelvic thrusts on the floor. He's trying so hard to be a man.

• Highlight - Usher's choreography

• Lowlight - Usher. I don't know, he just was not as hot looking as he used to be and there was something tired about him.

• Highlight - Niecy Nash's adopting white children bit.

QUESTIONS

Why was Lisa Lisa there? Head to Toe was 20 years ago!

Why would anybody give Diddy vodka and a microphone? He was running all around the after party!

Why must Kanye insert how great he is into everything? Even when he was complimenting T-Pain, he said, he was one of the kings of the game and his opinion matters. Isn't he like a child standing on a chair saying, "I'm a big boy. I demand you to listen to me. Tell me how great I am. Please....."?

Didn't Tyrese look underwhelmed by T-Pain when the camera cut to him during the performance?

T-Pain and a circus makes perfect sense doesn't it?

Didn't Ludacris look fresh and clean when he came through for "I'm so hood"?

Why is Cuba Gooding, Jr. so corny?

Don't all musical tributes on BET pale in comparison to when Yolanda Adams, Prince, Stevie Wonder and India Arie did a tribute to Chaka Khan?

Don Imus - Early Contender?

Fellow blogger Lily alerted me to this new story on shock jock Don Imus. Apparently, when discussing a Dallas Cowboy who was recently arrested, Imus had the following dialogue:

Warner Wolf: "He's been arrested six times since being drafted by Tennessee in 2005,"

Imus: "What color is he?"

Wolf: "He's African-American,"

Imus: "Well, there you go. Now we know."

Imus said he was defending African Americans because they get arrested in disproportionate numbers. Now without seeing the transcript I can't say, but given his past history, his excuse is suspect...
