Dignitaries are a Who's-Who of Old Black T.V. Characters and a Sneak Preview of Obama Cabinet Appointees
11-02-2008
HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA - President elect Barack Obama and wife Michelle have just finalized the guest list for their exclusive black-tie-black-guest victory party.
The invitees Harkin us back to a simpler time when all a black character was asked to do on T.V. or in public life was come up with a catch phrase like 'Dy-No-Mite!!!' or 'What's Happening!!: Hey, Hey, Hey!' or 'What' chu talkin' bout Willis?' or 'Hymie Town'.
Barack and Michelle's victory party guest list gives us a hint as to what a soon to be inaugurated president Obama's cabinet will look like.
The plans and guest list were leaked to the press by an unidentified source within the Obama campaign who is now being seriously vetted for the position of CIA Head. (Reverend Jeremiah Wright)
Although journalistic ethics dictate that we cannot compromise security by revealing all the party details we will only publish the most embarrassing and controversial ones.
Master of ceremonies for the evening will be Jimmy J.J. Walker who will be assisted by Webster and Rerun.
The guest list for this small intimate diner party of about 2 dozen will include, Sanford and Son, Florida, Wheezy, George Jefferson (Secretary of Labor?) Richard Pryor, Amos and Andy, Gary Coleman, Fat Albert (Surgeon General) Shenenah Jenkins, (Chief of Staff) Jesse Jackson (Press Secretary), Martin Laurence (possible Secretary of State), Louis Farrakhan (tapped as Ambassador to Israel), Michael Jackson (Head of Child Welfare), Willis, The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air, Whoopi Goldberg (Attorney General), Flip Wilson, Aunt Esther, Moesha, Sidney Poitier, Cleveland, Freddie 'Boom Boom' Washington and Jamie Fox (Secretary of Homeland Security).
Although originally penciled in on the list was Tattoo, the tiny star of Fantasy Island was crossed off when Joe Biden asked Gary Coleman (promised a Supreme Court appointment), to examine the list. When Coleman came to Zee Name, Zee Name - Tattoo, the former Arnold of Different Strokes angrily exclaimed, "Tattoo????? He ain't black!!!!!"
Obama defended his proposed appointments by saying, "We will make Affirmative Action seem like child's play. Remember when they did the Wizard of Oz on Broadway with an all black cast starring Diana Ross as Dorothy and called it the 'Wiz', well when I'm President we'll have an all black cabinet and call it - Mission Accomplished Sucka."
