Here is the gist of the joke according to Gawker.com ...

" ... he (Rodeo Clown) informed them on the rodeo's PA system that Playboy had offered Mitt Romney's wife Ann $250,000 'to pose in the magazine.'

But shock soon turned to horror when Hayhurst went on to say that 'the White House is upset about it because National Geographic only offered Michelle Obama $50 to pose for them.'"

Clinton Clown At first ... I thought it might have been this clown that told the "offending" joke.

I think the National Geographic reference is one of those “code words”.

“How was that joke racist?”

Because it was about EmpERROR Zero’s wife.

Natgeo magazine is known for featuring photos of naked African and aboriginal women.

Well, it’s not very nice to make sex jokes out of the two contenders for FLOTUS, but I fail to see why it is racist.

Well, its a little stretch. Think of the “naked native African villagers” pictures in National Geographic in the 1960’s-1970’s.

***...only offered Michelle Obama $50 to pose for them. ***

That is mild compared to some of the Rodeo jokes I heard 45 years ago!

I remember as a kid that National Geographic showed the breasts of black women but never white women.

Well, if they only had pics of white women wouldn't that be racist?

:-)

This clown is used to dodging the bull. But the muzzy’s in the white hut will be throwing a lot of bull his way now.

You can’t make fun of the won.

This shows how little liberals understand or support the 1st Amendment. They are now just like those terrorists who are demanding a world law that bans freedom of speech.
