Is Cedric The Entertainer a rethug?
Did anyone catch the performance he gave for Bush & Co? I caught a glimpse of him making a fool of himself. I'm sure Bush & Co. didn't understand the jokes. Worse yet, he was allegedly upstaged by Laura Bush.

The roasting continued as comedian Cedric the Entertainer took the stage, even though he conceded that "I thought I could follow the president. The first lady is something different."

1. Sad, but I'm afraid he is drinking the kool-aid.
I hope I'm proving wrong. I hope.

2. I hope it's for the money
and not because he's a rethug. I know that some of those celebs in the audience are not rethugs.

Laura said that Condi has a street cred side? Like SHE knows. :eyes: I think this is what Laura meant:

3. Laura is taking an activist role on street gangs. Perhaps she wants to
make the role-model connection more plausible.

4. No!
it was just a job, plus it was a very bipartisan audience. Did you see the American Idols rejects and Al Franken?

The dinner was for the correspondents that was hosted at the White House. I am sure that the White House chose Cedric to show how inclusive they are.

Especially since bush is starting to go to working class Blacks to push his SS bill.

5. The Republicans and religious reich are also courting
blacks on the issue of homosexuality.

6. Unfortunately it seems to be working a little
The black-led Walmart megachurches tend to be in lockstep with the Fristians on GLBT rights and choice issues, from what I've seen. My mom's pastor even spoke about both at Promise Keeper rallies. :puke:

So sad they don't realize how bad they're being played.

7. They don't realize how bad they're being played.......
Oh, I'm sure they are told that they are being played, they're just in denial.

I read in one of the forums that Colin Powell was warned (by Harry Belafonte, perhaps?)that the repukes were just going to use him to pacify minority America while furthering their agenda. I'm sure Colin's a believer now - but the damage has been done!
