Gates Reluctant to Attend Obama Beer Party

While I cannot vouch for the accuracy of the following transcript, it was supposedly taken from a conversation this week between President Obama and Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates.

"This is Henry Louis Gates, a black man living in America."

"Relax, Henry, it's me, Barack. We're on for Thursday night -- a picnic table outside the Oval Office."

"Be there or be square."

"Right on. Now, what kind of beer do you want, Henry?"

"What's that Irish redneck Crowley drinking? Wait, let me guess: Bud Light."

"No, I'm drinking Bud Light, Henry. Sgt. Crowley ordered Blue Moon."

"I'll blue moon his mama!"

"Henry, please, just tell what you're drinking."

"A nice 40-ounce bottle of malt liquor. Isn't that what we black men living in America drink?"

"Why not consider a Jamaican Red Stripe, Henry, or a Beck's beer from Germany?"

"I'll moon a German's mama!"

"Red Stripe it is. And Henry, I really need you to dial it down a little when we meet with Sgt. Crowley."

"Oh, yessa, boss, the black man living in America will be ever so polite to the nice White poh-leese officer. We don't want no trouble with da man, now do we?"

Thursday night, Henry, I'll meet you outside."

"I'll meet your mama outside!"
