JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — The Missouri State Fair on Monday imposed a lifetime ban on a rodeo clown whose depiction of President Barack Obama getting charged by a bull was widely criticized by Democratic and Republican officials alike.I know it's been a long time ago -- a whole four and a half years -- but I seem to remember GW Bush being regularly mocked. A couple of hack filmmakers even made movies about assassinating him. Seems to me like Halloween shops used to have entire rows of president masks. Ronald Reagan is STILL the subject of regular mocking by the left today. Even the liberals Patron Saint William Jefferson "I did not have sex with that woman" Clinton was regularly (and rightly) targeted for ridicule.
The rodeo clown won't be allowed to participate or perform at the fair again. Fair officials say they're also reviewing whether to take any action against the Missouri Rodeo Cowboy Association, the contractor responsible for Saturday's event.
The entertainment during the bull-riding contest featured a clown wearing a mask of Obama with an upside down broomstick attached to his backside. Spectators were asked if they wanted to see "Obama run down by a bull." Many in the audience responded enthusiastically.
Numerous Missouri officials denounced the act after video and photos were posted online. Some Democratic Missouri lawmakers suggested Monday that there should be financial consequences for the fair.
But don't mock King Barack.
