WASHINGTON – Speaking in front of thousands of supporters, President Abraham Lincoln today took time off his efforts to re-unite the nation, end the Civil War and slavery to berate a street performer that made off-color jokes about his wife, Mary Todd Lincoln.
"That he could call her ‘crazy’ is a kick in the gut," said Lincoln of street performer Seth McFarlane. "This type of ugliness from the Left continues to destroy the very fabric of American Society."
McFarlane was working on a Washington street corner, performing his sketch "Mary Lincoln, Damn She’s Crazy," when he was noticed by Lincoln colleague E.B. Webb. Webb then told Lincoln about the insulting street play – which earned several coins from passersby. Lincoln immediately stopped his business of saving the nation to address the issue.
"It’s balderdash," said Lincoln. "Just balderdash."
For his part, McFarlane said he would try not to make fun of Mary Lincoln any longer, and focus primarily on rape jokes, which he finds disturbingly funny.
