The Roots Think Michelle Bachmann Is A Lyin’ Ass Bitch

Michelle BachmannSeems that The Roots don’t like Michelle Bachmann too much. The other morning on “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon,” presidential candidate Michelle Bachmann was on the show to be interviewed. The most talked about thing after the show was not her interview though, it was what The Roots decided to play as she walked out. As Bachmann walked out from behind the curtain The Roots distinctly broke into the classic Fishbone song, “Lyin’ Ass Bitch.”

The Roots often make sly, witty, and often pretty obscure song choices for the guests of the show. “Lyin’ Ass Bitch” is not a political song and is really about a bad relationship, but I think that this one has to be one of their best song choices yet.
