Dem Governor Tries to Act All Ghetto and Stuff About Obama in ESPN Interview
By Debbie Schlussel
You know what I really hate?
I hate it when grown adults try to act cool by invoking stupid hip-hop phrases. The people who do this are the same ones who want to be best friends to their kids and accompany them to Eminem and T.I. concerts.
And I especially despise it when this put on pseudo-hipness show comes from some pasty White aging politician. It’s so transparently desperate, so very common, so clearly an attempt to elevate your “respectability” by utilizing the lingua franca of the lowest common denominator in society.
While the fist-bump is one example, another great, cringe-worthy instance took place yesterday, when Michigan liberal Democrat Governor Jennifer Granholm, upset about Barack Obama’s Final Four NCAA Basketball Tournament picks which had Michigan State losing to Louisville (the school is now in the Final Four), told ESPN that she wanted to “be up in his grill.”
No way. Did a governor of a United State actually say she wants to “be up in [the President’s] grill”? (And does she mean she wants to be up in his bling-studded grill or the grill of his Presidential limo? That’s rhetorical. Yes, I know it’s hip-hop slang for “in your face.”)
Yup. And you wonder why Michigan fell off a cliff under her roost atop of it. The woman who’s pimped her state out on higher taxes and big spending is now officially talking like a pimp.
Gov. Jennifer Granholm was interviewed Wednesday, though she has a pretty good reason, with Michigan State in the Final Four and the Final Four in Detroit and all.
So ESPN’s Mike Hill wanted to know: “President Obama had MSU losing to Louisville in the Elite Eight, so if the Spartans go on to win it all, will you call him up and say, ‘Respectfully, sir, in your face, Mr. President!’ “?
Answered Granholm: “If he weren’t in London, we did invite him to come to the Final Four. … I would love to be up in his grill.”
Let’s forget that we wonder what this attention-seeking Governor (who recently modestly referred to herself as a “hot governor”) is doing whining over a minor sports bet when her state is collapsing economically beyond repair.
I used to call Granholm, “The Governatrix Gran-HO,” on my radio show. That’s because this woman is the biggest political prostitute on the planet and got elected head of Michigan when she secured the support of pimp daddy former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick by making race-based hiring and funding promises to him. Now, she’s prostituting herself to the hip-hop vernacular.
It’s completely annoying and speaks volumes when a nearly 50-year-old woman sounds like she’s the mom from “Leave it to Beaver” talking jive in the movie “Airplane,” only it’s not a joke.
What’s next?–a State of the State address with phrases like, “Who Dat?” and “No, You Di’int, You Bony-Assed Cracker Republicans.”
Trust me, the days of “Idiocracy”‘s President Camacho are fast approaching [mild language alert]:

BONUS: Here’s the Obama-Biden version of President Camacho:
It`s habitual with both her and Hillary. Remember Rosa Parks funeral and Granholm and Hillary all of a sudden acquired a black preachers accent? I was rolling on the floor watching them. LOL
