But it goes both ways.
I think anyone would have a hard time arguing that Bill Clinton was not the most joked about president in recent history.
Monica... Hillary... Jennifer Flowers... his real estate deals, his sexual conquests.
I totally agree (and never contested) that the media tends to have a liberal viewpoint.
But even that fact, BY ITSELF, is not a reason to shut it down or silence it.
After all, all the great generals from history will tell you the same thing: You need to know your enemy. You need to know what he is thinking.
Jokes about Palin and her children are slander and libel, and spurious allegations of pedophilia (Willow / A-Rod) or wishes for rape (Sandra Bernhard's comments about blacks in Manhattan gang-raping Sarah, the Playboy "Hate-F*ck" article -- which was a theme on the left going back to the Vice Presidential debates).
Equating that to jokes about a sitting president receiving oral sodomy *IN THE OVAL OFFICE* (+) and then suborning perjury to cover it up, is beyond the pale.
(+)...oh, and if you dig around, I think you can find mention of Clinton performing anilingus on Monica Lewinsky. If just *one* comedian had mentioned that, and then said, "That's where he got his sh*t-eating grin", Clinton's career would have been OVER.
Cheers!
