Joan Rivers: Obama is gay and Michelle is transgender

Off-the-cuff comments made by Joan Rivers earlier this week are making the rounds today.

A reporter asked Joan if America would see it's first gay or woman president first. These were Joan's thoughts on the subject:

"We already have that with Obama," Rivers responded, before turning and offering an unsolicited remark about the First Lady.

"You know Michelle is a tranny... A transgender. We all know. It's okay."

As the Advocate points out, it's unusual that Rivers, an openly liberal comedian, would poke fun at a Dem president, but also odd that she would make a joke about a "tranny" knowing what a huge fan base she has in the LGBT community.  Just a bit off-base.
