Touré (@Toure) February 26, 2013Wait, don’t answer Touré just yet. MSNBC contributor Goldie Taylor had her hand up first.
@Toure She's, um, Black.—

Judges? Can we accept that answer? Yes? Yes! Ding, ding, ding! Correct, Goldie! RT @goldietaylor: @Toure She's, um, Black.—

Racism? Wait a minute, Touré. We know it’s intellectual contortion time, but you yourself said the correct answer was that she’s a Democrat.
(The correct answer to the question in the previous tweet is: "Because Reagan & Laura Bush are Republicans & Michelle is a Democrat.")—

The judge is feeling extraordinarily generous tonight. Everyone’s answer is correct!
The judges will accept that answer! RT @mwk89: because something something benghazi something something drones something something benghazi—

@Toure (The correct answer…is: "Because Reagan & Laura Bush are Republicans & Michelle is a Democrat.")// + also: Nixon on Laugh-In!—

@LarkinWarren Exactly. Nixon on Laugh-In = dignity. Reagan & Laura on Oscars = class. Michelle = Fail because, well, um, Benghazi!!!—
Touré (@Toure) February 26, 2013
Yes, thanks for bringing up candidate Richard Nixon’s four-second cameo on “Laugh-In” in 1968 — certainly the proudest moment in Republican history.
Every answer is correct except this one, that is. Touré fires back with his patented triple-question-mark “I don’t know what you’re talking about” response.
Oh. Wait. How??? #SplittinAtoms RT @GOPBlackChick: Being "part of Oscars" @Toure is very different than @flotus announcing an Oscar from WH.—

Touré might want to be on the lookout for more racist Republicans among his fellow “journalists,” who reportedly groaned at the first lady’s surprise appearance.
