I Don't Know What The Point I Want To Make Is, But...

I just read a brief article (more of a blurb, really) in a newspaper from a few days ago about how some politician lady is demanding an apology because when she was a guest on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, house band The Roots played her on with the following song:



I guess Jimmy Fallon and Questlove both aplogogized when Politician Lady got offended, but she's still bitching because NBC didn't apologize to her, even though NBC wasn't told in advance it was going to happen. (It was, according to a quote from Questlove in the article, "tongue-in-cheek and spur-of-the-moment.") 'Cause, you know, when I'm pissed off about something, I demand apologies from larger authorities who have nothing to do with my complaint.
(Non-sarcastic example: When a restaurant in New Orleans Square in Disneyland stopped serving beef stew in a bread bowl, I was bummed out but I didn't demand restaurant sponsor Stouffer's apologize.)
Politician Lady is mad because she thinks it was a jab at her because she's a Conservative Politician Lady. And it probably was, but who cares? Her issue should be with The Roots (whose frontman apologized) and not with NBC (who had nothing to do with it).
Now, here is my commentary about the situation:
I don't watch Jimmy Fallon, I'm not really familiar with The Roots and have only just recently started listening to Fishbone. I'm so uninformed on politics, I can't tell you Political Lady's name (I could if I bothered to look it up, but I don't care that much).
What I wonder is, if no one in the media had made the connection and pointed out that The Roots were playing a song called Lyin'Ass Bitch when Political Lady walked on stage, would she be complaining right now?
I mean, yeah I'm stereotyping, but I have a very hard time believeing a middle aged, conservative politician is familiar with a punk-pop-ska-metal-rock-soul fusion band like Fishbone.
Maybe if everybody who recognized the song had kept their mouths shut, I wouldn't have to get annoyed reading about some politician who's throwing a tantrum because The Roots don't like her. Or whatever.
Is it a free speech issue, maybe? I think so?
At any rate, it's a catchy song. I hope if I'm ever famous enough to be a guest on Jimmy Fallon, The Roots will play Lyin'Ass Bitch when I walk onstage.

Be seeing you.
