Right-Wing San Diego Radio DJ Performed In Blackface For Obama's Victory.

The clown you see above is Mark Larson, some cookie-cutter right-wing AM radio personality from San Diego. Sometime in the incredibly vague past on his part, he claims that he made a bet that there was no way this country would elect a man named Barack Hussein Obama. So much that he resolved that if Obama won, he would go on air in blackface. But it's totally not about race; he claims it's about Barack's middle name, and the fact Larson believes he's a Muslim.

But it's totally not about race. Which is why he's appearing in blackface, rather than, say, a turban or a Saddam Hussein or Osama Bin Laden mask. You know, something mildly humorous that would actually be congruent with what the fuck he said.

He then later compared the stunt to skits done by Dave Chappelle... Okay, lemme just jump across this monstrous paradigm shift and say that, sure, Dave Chappelle, the Wayans brothers and even Eddie Murphy have performed skits in whiteface. Two things though -

1) Neither Dave Chappelle, the Wayans Brothers or Eddie Murphy have maintained a three decade radio career where they claim to represent the moral character of our society. Maybe I missed something, and this is the kind of wholesome good-natured humor the average moral Republican genuinely enjoys. I sure as hell hope not, for the sake of mankind...

Also...

2) Dave Chappelle is funny (and Eddie Murphy and the Wayans brothers used to be). This is...

...well, this is pretty embarrassing.

It's like you're watching your drunk, out-of-touch uncle go into one of his off-color stories, and you realized he's forgotten the punchline, but insists on plodding on... and on... and on...

And due to a cruel slip in the time/space continuum, this horribly awkward moment lasts for the length of an entire radio show.

Meanwhile, you've long since pretended to be adopted and have taken, with zen-like focus, rapturous attention to the cream cheese dip. Wow, you can really taste the parsley!

I have no idea, you desperately want to tell everyone within earshot, who that crazy ranting man is. I'm just here for the wheat thins.
