Rapper Common's White House invitation makes Sarah Palin, Fox News go crazy
by Kyle Anderson

Common is about the least controversial rapper in the business. He’s
roughly as edgy as LeVar Burton. He’s the rap version of Wayne Brady.
He’s a friendly, easy-going, cross-cultural musician and actor who stars
in easygoing rom-coms with Queen Latifah, only appears menacing to Tina
Fey and Steve Carrell on celluloid, and is typically the first person
mentioned whenever anybody brings up the concept of a “conscious” MC.

But don’t tell that to FOX News and Sarah Palin.

They and other conservative outlets are expressing outrage today that
the Chicago-born artist (born Lonnie Rashid Lynn, Jr.) will be a guest
at the White House tonight as part of an evening celebrating poetry,
hosted by Michelle Obama.

Anything that ****es off the moron Palin and the news network of the
birthers is worth doing.
