The somnambulist media took guest star Tracy Morgan's "defense" of Senator Barack Obama last night as an equal time gesture on the part of Saturday Night Live after Tina Fey's defiant "bitch is the new black" stand on behalf of Hillary Clinton. Not shockingly, they've missed the story. Ya see, Morgan's a comedian, fellas. He didn't come to praise the campaign of Senator Obama - he was openly mocking some of his supporters. Take his now-famous "bitch may be the new black, but black is the new president, bitch" line. The right-wing Chicago Tribune called it "a blistering (and funny) response to Geraldine Ferraro's comments about Barack Obama." Uh fellas, Morgan was satirizing some of the blatant sexism that suffuses much of Clinton's opposition - and quite brilliantly. You see, by referring to a still-revered female septuagenarian Democratic pioneer as "bitch" - by pretending to be an angry anti-feminist on SNL - Tracy Morgan was holding up a mirror to the hate, and he was nailing so many of the misogynists to the wall with the simple hammer of humor. Morgan took down some of the iron-my-shirt, likeable-enough, she-sipped-tea woman-haters in the crowd - and hard - while joining his good pal Tina in battling sexism. The great ones can do that. The Lenny Bruces and the George Carlins. But so many missed the message. Dudes, you ever hear of satire?
