Russell Brand takes a shot at Sarah Palin

Washington (ANI): British comedian Russell Brand took a shot at Republican Vice-Presidential nominee Sarah Palin and her pregnant daughter while hosting the MTV Video Music Awards.

Brand made a series of political, sexual and off-colour remarks throughout the night, reportedly annoying some of the celebrities in attendance. However, his wildest remark was aimed at Alaska governor Palin. "The safe sex message is to use a condom or become a Republican," Fox quoted Brand, as saying.

The comedian angered some in attendance by repeatedly joking about the Jonas Brothers, who wear purity rings as a symbol of their vow not to have premarital sex. The Forgetting Sarah Marshall funnyman also encouraged Americans to vote for Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama in the upcoming election, referred to George W. Bush as a 'retarded cowboy fella'.

LOOOOOOOOOL Russell Brand was sooooo funny @ the VMA's people need to lighten up its called COMEDY! Like he's the only one to talk trash about that 'retarded cowboy fella' people in the US do it all the time oh but now its not ok for someone outside of the states to do so. The only people who are 'offended' or 'outraged' by his jokes are Jonas Brothers fans (with no sense of humor), Republicans (Republicanism is akin to evil), die hard Twilight fans & people who take themselves to seriously. Finally please on behalf of the world vote Obama & let this madness end!!!!

Why do the rest of the world have to roll over and accept everything that america wants? its about time a great british comedian was accepted in that country. im british and i think russell brand is a genius. he is not typical british comedians, and as for the person who says he has had 15 minutes of fame, he has been hosting tv shows, doing standup and radio shows since about 2000. if we had to accept the crap that comes out of your culture then you have to accept ours. and he is allowed tosay stuff about george bush, because that retard made british as well as american troops die in iraq and afganistan. as we are forced to accept your culture, you can accept ours. and america is not the most powerful nation on earth. the middle east and far east is more powerfull- america relies on them for resources. you're only powerful if you're self reliant. having sid that, i am not a patriot, britain is rubbish as well.

Who the hell does this "cheese-dick" think he is bashing our country, our singers and our leadership? His 15 mins of fame just got him 15 years of regret. We Americans will NOT forget you, trust me......

Leftist like Russell Brand think they are so smart by calling the President of the United States a retard. I guess he derived his conclusion because President Bush like the leaders of coalition countries have clear conviction of the threat coming our way by Islamic fundamentalism. Logically from a Western perspective it would be better to fight the main fight against Islamists in Iraq and Afghanistan instead of Europe. Its a damn shame Russell wasn't intertaining the poor souls at the night club in Bali when it was bombed back in 2002. Morons like Brand could have done all of us a favor by being more green and taking the train in Madrid back in 2004. The lefts mantra “George W Bush is a idiot cowboy that goes it alone” doesn't hold water. If the leader of the most powerful nation on earth is a retard than what does that make you, a Obamaton?
