It's Big Willy. I was born and raised listening to the guy. They knew what they were getting into when they asked him to speak. Interestingly enough, it hasn't really been a big deal here in Cincinnati because people of both parties laugh at him together but for different reasons. It's the people that don't "know" Big Willy that are all shocked/angered/annoyed by it.

Having said that, does it make what he said right? Probably not. But since it's Big Willy, you take it with a grain of salt.
