Jon Lovitz on Obama: Comedian Spews Profanity-Laced Tirade on Taxes
Actor and comedian Jon Lovitz is coming under fire for his profanity-laced rant during his podcast which was aimed at the President Obama and the current tax debate.
The former "Saturday Night Live" star, who came in to comedic fame for playing characters such as Hanukkah Harry and Tommy Flanagan the Pathological Liar, derided Obama on his podcast, called "The ABC's Of SNL."
"This whole thing with Obama saying the rich don't pay their taxes is f------ b-------. And I voted for the guy and I'm a Democrat. What a f------ a--h---," Lovitz said.

The show- co-hosted by filmmaker Kevin Smith, known for his work on the movie "Clerks" and as character Silent Bob- is said to be recorded "live from the Jon Lovitz Podcast Theatre."
"The rich don't pay their taxes? Let me tell you something, right," Lovitz said. "First they tell you– you're dead broke– this is the United States of America, you can do anything you want, go for it. So then you go for it, and then you make it, and everyone's like, f--- you."
The comedian went on to explain that Obama "is the perfect example. He's amazing. He had nothing. He had no father. He was, you know, of mixed race which is a burden in the United, don't kid yourself, you know, growing up like that, and no money, and the guy ends up being at Harvard. He's the President of the United States. And now he's like, f--- me!"
"If I make a dollar and out of every dollar I'm taxed at 50, half, at 50 cents, I have to give, isn't that like enough?" asked Lovitz.
"It's half. Half?!" he reiterated.
It's unclear what started the comedian on his tirade. The podcast was recorded back in January, but it was just released this past Sunday.
