Comedian David Alan Grier, Host of 'Chocolate News' Parodies Dr. Maya Angelou Rehearsing Her Draft Obama Inauguration Poem

According to conservative blogger Michelle Malkin, poet Maya Angelou’s hyper-stylized prose and diction are almost beyond parody. But the "brilliant comedian" David Alan Grier pulls it off. This skit of Grier-as-Angelou rehearsing her draft Obama inauguration poem will bring tears to your eyes — and you may even need a change of clothes. So, Michelle Malkin finds it funny when Angelou is parodied but despicable when Sarah Palin is criticized for her obvious lack of experience.

What are your thoughts on this video? Don't get me wrong David Alan Grier is a fine comedian and is quite tame, compared to D. L. Hughley.
