Questlove Sort Of Apologizes For Calling Michele Bachmann A ‘Lyin Ass Bitch’
When The Roots‘ Questlove first started getting serious backlash for calling Michele Bachmann a “lyin’ ass bitch” via her walk on music, he was faced with a few different choices: dig his heels in, possibly putting his job in jeopardy, or issue the kind of lukewarm apology that people often make when their jobs are threatened.

The Roots Express Their Distaste For Michele Bachmann In Song

Amy Winehouse And ?uestlove Collaborating Over Skype
