The checks will come slow now for Barstow, CA rodeo clown Mike Hayhurst. During Saturday's 17th annual Creston Classic Rodeo, he unleashed an incredibly racist joke about FLOTUS Michelle Obama. Hayhurst, who prides himself in "good clean family comedy always," said that Playboy had offered Ann Romney $250,000 to appear in the magazine. He followed that up by saying  "the White House is upset about it because National Geographic only offered Michelle Obama $50 to pose for them." People in attendance were not amused.

Creston Classic Rodeo board member Mike Barrett said the they "probably won't be using his services in the future." Hayhurst wasn't available to comment on the matter because he was in the hospital; apparently he was thrown from a bull during the rodeo. Call it karma.
