Another Joke In The White House Tonight?

How far have we fallen since the days of Reagan?

Here’s a good indication. The “poet” Common has been invited to the White House tonight. This poet has written about killing President Bush, shooting police and even dedicated a poem (A Song for Assata), to fugitive NJ State Trooper killer Joanne Chesimard who has been a guest in Castro’s Cuba since the 1980s.

Incredibly, this “poet” is eerily similar in tone and content to Tyrone Greene, a character played as a joke by Eddie Murphy on Saturday Night Live in the 1980s.
