Brewer Spars With Ziegler About Palin, Shuts Off His Mike | NewsBusters.org
BREWER: Good. In this case, it’s comedy. To talk about her real itinerary in New York, kind of serious. Not really funny. Why did she take such offense? She called him “pathetic,” so she obviously took offense. Why was she so offended by David Letterman?
ZIEGLER: Well, Contessa, since you’re a female, you might be better expert on whether or not it’s appropriate to call a public figure “slutty” with, for no apparent reason, AND joke about her daughter being knocked-up in the middle of Yankee Stadium while she’s at the game…
This is simply amazing.. a journalist employee at MSNBC is interviewing John Ziegler about “why” Sara Palin is “upset” over the insult and implied threat of rape on her 14 y/o daughter that [supposed] funnyman David Letterman made – and the MSNBC employee (Contessa Brewer) doesn’t get it…..
Ok, so if I were to say that Michelle Obama looks like slutty ghetto trash, and her daughters will probably be having sex with the janitor at the WhiteHouse – it should be cool for me to make that statement based on what was said about a conservative….pfffffffffft, yeah right – I’d be slammed to hell for making a statement like that about a liberal. Apparently it can be said about a conservative and is seen as “humor”.
I am not amused.
