61. If I was Mrs. Obama, I would sue the hell out of your stupid behind. Headlines like that causes some people to really pay attention to that kind of crap. You white people need to stop, now!

Sorry, but public people don't get to sue just because someone insults or makes fun of them! BTW, can we "white people" assume that you are a black racist?

62. 45. That's what's wrong with the world today. People take sensitive issues for any race and make demeaning jokes for comedy. There should be a fine against taping something as preposterous as this. It is also harmful because as the old racial epitath goes, "They all look alike to me", someone who relishes that, might actually think this is Michelle Obama. It's clear to me that it isn't her. Poor performance by everyone who chose to participate in this. IGNORANCE IS NOT BLISS! Find something tasteful to do. Go help the homeless and misfortunate.

ROGLMAO!!! According to the left having a sense of humor is now a BAD thing and should be fined? Or should you be fined only if you make fun of a black person since someone might mistake your humor for a real insult!? If Obama and his fans are screaming racism over THIS video, just wait until they real ones start showing up! No one is going to allow Obama to use the color of his skin in order to excuse or exempt his record and life from examiniation!

63. What's Cindy McCains achievements other than inheriting a beer distributorship? What kind of education and achievements does she have in her own rights? Men like Mo Rocca are afraid of strong women. Too bad wuss.
Let me call this person an idiot for you Mo!

If you really have any interest in how strong Cindy McCain is do a google search on her! She is a pretty amazing woman actually! She successfully runs a huge multi-billion dollar company. She heads several charitable organizations, has worked with a group called Halo Trust which defuses land mines and provides food and water in developing countries, she overcame prescription drug addiction and now funds a program to help others, she overcame a severe stroke and now runs marathons, she adopted a child whom Mother Teresa said would have died had she been left in the Bangladesh orphanage. The child had many medical problems, but the McCain saved her life and after numerous surgeries the girl is doing very well. Cindy also brought another child back who was adopted by friends of the McCains. And those things just brush the surface of all the Cindy McCain has done.
Michelle Obama is a corporate lawyer...yes that is quite an accomplishment for anyone, but it certainly is not a profession that gives as much to world wide needs as Cindy McCain has done!
You cannot make Michelle Obama look better by comparing her to Cindy McCain!

64. Uhhhh, Mo, how much do you actually get paid for doing this stuff!? Gimme a $20 cut, and I'll knit you a "Mo Rocca" doilie with the lint from my navel- you could use it as a hairpiece or fold it over and make a mustache! Or you could use it to roll up and ounce of gange and we could smoke it while drinking pink squirrels at your favourite haunt?

This was meant as a political farce, not a slam on ANYONE. Goodness! HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOR!!!

68.
Mr. Rocca;
I am beginning to get a bit tweaked that we (your 'audience') are being accused of being racist, among other things... Where are you???
I even heard you use the 'Whitey' jokes on WWDTM.. & I laughed, because I knew where they came from...
Now we have folks who don't understand the satire, & we are taking the bullet.
Please help.

Loved it!

70. 8. Mo Rocca takes the cake as the most stupid idiot I've ever seen. For one, it has been disproven that Michelle was not at this so-called rally. Second, if Mo Rocca has an ounce of brain in his stupid head, he would have also reported that plus the fact that this so called video is fake and had been doctored. Lastly, Machelle must be the one that McCain is running against. With all the problems facing this country, idiots like Mo Rocca are actually make a big living doing this type of rumor and fear mungering. What's Cindy McCains achievements other than inheriting a beer distributorship? What kind of education and achievements does she have in her own rights? Men like Mo Rocca are afraid of strong women. Too bad wuss.

Wow. You must have ducked pretty low to let all parody go over your head. Or, you could just be short.

71. Oh Mo, your comments about the whitey incident on Wait Wait made me giggle. I just love you.

72. I love really out there comedy. This video is funny as hell. One PROBLEM. I don't get streaming video and it takes forever to load anything on U Tube. I had started to give up on watching the whole thing and had made my mind up from the first few seconds of the video that she was a black supremisist. I had no idea who Rocca was. Luckily I watched the whole thing and realized it was comedic, otherwise...

74. What person in this country hasn't made an off color racial remark? Only ignorant self righteous bigots would hold her remark against her. I'm a white independent faily conservative person who reads a lot. There is no doubt that "whitey" has reeked havoc on the black race throughout history especially here in America, "whitey" Ku Klux Klan members groom thier children to hate innocent people, "whitey" juries have sent tens of thousands of innocent blacks to prisons and death row with phoney concocted circumstantial evidense. "Whitey" represents that evil element of American society....not all whites. So may all you IDIOTs that are doing everything you can to smear this decent, honorable, capable woman can rot in hell where you belong. This election will not be affected by "gotcha" or "swift boat" snipes or neo conservative talk show scumbags....the American public has paid dearly in lives and treasure for their stupidity. Only thr issues matter this time!!!

75. iynaroc02 takes the cake as the most stupid idiot I've ever seen. Are you unaware that this blog advertises itself as fake news? Um, why would there be a clown at the press conference?
Dumbass.
