MSNB-See no sexism

Look out, ladies. The war on conservative women has turned from ugly and vicious to downright disgusting.

MSNBC this week canceled Alec Baldwin’s little-watched talk show, “Up Late,’’ after the rage-aholic diva hurled anti-gay slurs — “c—sucking f-g’’ — at a Post photographer. Good riddance.

But as much as I hate to admit it, The Bloviator was right to whine that he’s the victim of a double-standard. Because the same network that gallantly stood up for homosexuals by canning Alec’s sorry behind has issued nothing but hugs to its despicable host Martin Bashir — who verbally mutilated Sarah Palin.

On Nov. 15, Bashir lobbed a rant so vile at the former Alaska governor and 2008 GOP vice-presidential nominee, it makes me ill even to think about it.

The British talker fantasized on air about having someone defecate and urinate in Palin’s mouth.

But if you thought this sick eruption would get Bashir fired, suspended, or banned from the best tables at Nobu, think again. An MSNBC rep said the Comcast-owned network, part of NBC, would handle the matter “internally.’’ Which is one way of timidly asking Bashir, “Would you prefer red or white wine with your meal?’’(continued)

I think the problem with this rancid toad is that he never lets an opportunity go by to say hateful things about Sarah. He’s got a major problem with her. Now whether it’s because she’s a woman, I don’t know.

Audience is small and dropping.

A young retard on Hannity last night said he’d vote for Hillary “because we elected the first black president and I’d like to see us continue to be progressive.” I wish Hannity would have asked “So, you’d vote for Palin because she’s a woman?” Why can’t these talking heads think on their feet?

Just to keep the record straight, Clayton Williams did not make any vile sexist remarks about Ann Richards. What he actually did was say to a bunch of reporters that he had taken camping that bad weather was liked being raped- can’t change it, so just lay back and enjoy it. Needless to say, this was widely reported.

Interestingly, since he was a wealthy man, they tried to skewer him for not paying any income taxes in 1986. He responded by pointing out that ‘86 was a bad year for the Texas economy, and he *lost* money- thus no income to tax. But it was the rape comment that lost the campaign for him.
