Who tells racist Michelle Obama jokes? Rodeo clowns, apparently

Nobody was laughing when rodeo clown Mike Hayhurst took over the microphone at the Creston Rodeo Classic on Saturday and told a racist joke about first lady Michelle Obama. Hayhurst wasn’t performing at the California event because he had been tossed by a bull the day before, so we'll assume the head injuries damaged the "This is a Bad Idea" lobe of his brain. Hayhurst's "joke" was a setup about Playboy offering Ann Romney $250,000 to pose naked (WAIT, THAT'S NOT THE JOKE), even though “National Geographic only offered Michelle Obama $50 to pose for them." "Creston didn't find it funny," rodeo board member Tom Hanson said. The rodeo says it’s looking for a new clown. [Source]
