Washington
(ANI):
British
comedian
Russell
Brand
took
a
shot
at
Republican
Vice-Presidential
nominee
Sarah
Palin
and
her
pregnant
daughter
while
hosting
the
MTV
Video
Music
Awards.
Brand
made
a
series
of
political,
sexual
and
off-colour
remarks
throughout
the
night,
reportedly
annoying
some
of
the
celebrities
in
attendance.
However,
his
wildest
remark
was
aimed
at
Alaska
governor
Palin.
"The
safe
sex
message
is
to
use
a
condom
or
become
a
Republican," Fox
quoted
Brand,
as
saying.
The
comedian
angered
some
in
attendance
by
repeatedly
joking
about
the
Jonas
Brothers,
who
wear
purity
rings
as
a
symbol
of
their
vow
not
to
have
premarital
sex.
The
Forgetting
Sarah
Marshall
funnyman
also
encouraged
Americans
to
vote
for
Democratic
presidential
candidate
Barack
Obama
in
the
upcoming
election,
referred
to
George
W.
Bush
as
a
'retarded
cowboy
fella'.
