Washington Post’s Milbank Says Hillary Clinton Should Drink “Mad Bitch” Beer

This is the kind of garbage that has permeated media coverage of Hillary Clinton for years. Relevant segment at about 2:35. (h/t Brian Beutler).


UPDATE:
The Post responds: “The video was a satirical piece that lampooned people of all stripes. There was a section of the video that went too far, so we have removed the piece from our website.”

 

Topics: washington-post, hillary-clinton, milbank

Good thing Milbank didn’t call her a “jungle monkey” or he would have been fired.

Racism is bad, but sexism is funny.

Did anyone catch Dylan Ratigan this morning on ‘Morning Meeting”?

Dylan Ratigan was interviewing a corporate trainer about Obama’s cabinet retreat. (around 9:30am into his program).

They were discussing possible exercises that some in the cabinet might do, and the first cabinet official they discussed was Clinton.

Ratigan said; “Ok, what about Hillary Clinton. She’s loud and obnoxious just like me.”

Too bad for Milbank that he didn’t catch Penn Jillette bomb on Morning Joe during the primaries.

Jillette told Mika and Joe about a joke that was working well for him in his standup routine. In his routine, Jillette joked about how well Obama did during February, cause it was Black History month, and Hillary did well in March cause it was “White Bitch month”

Neither Mika nor Joe were amused and Mika condemned Jillette by saying; “I didn’t think it was funny, and I gotta tell you, with all the work Hillary Clinton is doing, I’m insulted, actually.”

The first rule of comedy is BE FUNNY! Come to think of it, it’s also the second and third rule!

It’s more of the same.  WaPo should be ashamed of themselves but, of course, they’re entertainers and cheerleaders, not journalists anymore.

It seems to me that part of the problem here is that two white men so similar that they could be the same man with different makeup - these two men think they’re funny, and many white men agree with them.  Even if they’re not funny, at least seeing them on television is like seeing your white brother or one of your white frat friends.

If you look at the late night talk shows and now these two cable guys, what you perceive is an almost total white male monopoly of commentary.  (But, if anyone can point me toward an exception, it would be greatly appreciated.) 

Here’s a secret:  much is said that is funny and interesting that is not said by white men.  Nevertheless, the monopoly is maintained because . . . it benefits the white men who control the media, newspapers, the US Congress and most of the rest of American institutions.

Comedy is hard.  They make it look impossible.

Those hacks need firing and the Washington Post needs to apologize to Hillary.

Based on the Washington DC law,
D.C.‘s disorderly conduct statute bars citizens from breaching the peace by doing anything “in such a manner as to annoy, disturb, interfere with, obstruct, or be offensive to others” or by shouting or making noise “either outside or inside a building during the nighttime to the annoyance or disturbance of any considerable number of persons.”

Why do only things offensive to police have this statute enforced?

Either pair back and limit this law (across the country in all locals)or have this guy arrested because a couple (or a couple hundred million!) people think this was offensive.

Or at least amend it to reflect the two faced police state we live in that allows everyone else to be offensive and be offended except the police.

at least it would reflect the reality of our times if they amended the law to end offensive “to the police”

So there would be no ambiguity for the rest of us.

why am I not surprised? Once again, smart women scare insecure little men. It wasn’t enough to trash her day in and our during the primaries?

We will never forget.

I suppose nobody has a sense of humor anymore.  In the context of using beer labels, they lampooned everybody.  I have no problems for what they did.

TO Karen Murphy :


Dear Mrs. Murphy,


FREE SPEECH is a constitutional right.

We can say what we want….

Obama hasn’t destroyed our Constitution yet.

Maybe you could move to Cuba with your girlfriends. Please, take Mrs. Pelosi and Mrs. Feinstein with you.

We had a very serious politician : Bella Abzug. She is dead , and Democratic Party became a…

So glad you still have Hillary’s back- Hope there is someone at State that will do the same-  We know she is and always will be vulnerable- A woman of substance is a scary thing to some folks in this administration- gosh- there can only be one person from whom all power and brilliance emanates in this White House-right?
