Nicki Minaj just gave Mitt Romney a dose of his own flip-flopping bad medicine.
Recently the rapper/singer made waves by rapping this line in a song: "I'm a Republican, voting for Mitt Romney/You lazy bitches is fuckin' up the economy."
Publicity hog that she is I'm not really shocked by anything Minaj says or does, but I must admit that line took me by surprise. Did you see the outfit she wore to the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards? Anyway, I just can't see how anybody female, black, Muslim, Hispanic, gay, etc. can support Mitt Romney.
Just when Team Mitt was probably readying a TV spot touting her support, Minaj came out saying it was all a gag. She'd just played the okee-doke on Willard. Here's an excerpt from a report on Rollingstone.Com (http://www.rollingstone.com/...):
"Ha! Thank you for understanding my creative humor & sarcasm Mr. President, the smart ones always do. sends love & support @BarackObama," wrote Minaj on Twitter, responding to an interview on Monday when the President himself addressed the lyrics in question.
"Yeah, I'm not sure that's actually what happened," said Obama, offering his own interpretation to Orlando radio station power 95.3. "I think she had a song on there, a little rap that said that. But she likes to play different characters. So I don't know what's going on there."
Sorry about that Mitt. I guess it's like Batman said in the Dark Knight Rises when Catwoman literally vanished on him: "So that's how that feels."
