Now that Obamacare jokes have become the norm on late night TV, it was a no brainer for the Country Music Awards to open last night’s show with a parody song from hosts Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood called “Obamacare By Morning.” But that didn’t stop The Five’s Greg Gutfeld from commending the “rare” sight of “Obama mockery” on TV.

Eric Bolling was equally impressed with the “hilarious” song, but noticed a bit of a divide in the reactions from those sitting in the live audience. “You could see the real, true Republican conservatives, heart and soul of the country, laughing,” Bolling observed. Meanwhile all the “Hollywood seat fillers who aren’t supposed to be there” were all “nervous, they’re all looking around like ‘should I laugh?’”

I posted the video on my facebook page so that my DEM “friends” would be sure to see it.

Or Faith Hill or Tim McGraw- both bigtime Obammydork supporters.

They showed both their sourpuss mugs during that.

I saw the CMA clip on The Five. I appreciate the sentiment, but it sounded awful and wasn’t particularly funny. Mockery must be better if it’s to be effective

Good for you. I looked for one of those “blank stare” photos but didn’t find one.

Who in the world is that person? The vacant stare really stood out.

It's Taylor Swift... you need to see her looking around cluelessly in that video of the CMA bit... she TOTALLY has the "b-but... Brawdo's got electrolytes" look on her face.

It’s Taylor Swift...


Oh. Thanks.

I did see the look in the CMA video and wondered then who the vapid blonde is. Now I’m going to have to rent Idiocracy again — been a long time...

Still, I wouldn’t say no if she wanted to teach me to two-step.
