Bernie Mac makes off-color joke at Obama event

By Paddy


Oh Noes!!! A comedian known for off color jokes made an off color joke? What will happen next? Blues singers singing the blues? Modern dance dancers dancing modern dance? Sheesh. I await the kerning to begin for Obama to condemn/reject/renounce Mr "Also Black" Mac.

CHICAGO—Comedian Bernie Mac endured some heckling and a campaign rebuke during a surprise appearance Friday night at a fundraiser for Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama.

Toward the end of a 10-minute standup routine at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in downtown Chicago, the 50-year-old star of "The Bernie Mac Show" joked about menopause, sexual infidelity and promiscuity, and used occasional crude language.
