Classy: MTV Tool Wanted to Use 'Joke' About Palin Executing Her Daughter

Apparently the folks at MTV saved this douchebag from total career suicide. Maybe those brainiacs at the Obama campaign can bring him out on the trail to help fire up the dwindling crowds.

The British comedian appeared to annoy celebrities and some fans when he made a series of risque political and sexual jokes hosting the 25th anniversary show.

But Brand, who called for Americans to vote for Democratic nominee Barack Obama in the presidential elections, claimed censors at the channel had already toned down his routine and vetoed several jokes.

He said: "I had John McCain gags pulled. And they asked me to tone down the gags about Sarah Palin. I wanted to say she was forcing her teenage daughter to have a baby because she is so anti-abortion.

"But also, as a Republican she is pro-execution so she is going to give her the electric chair for being a little slut.

"They weren't keen on that one."

Gee, I wonder why?
