Keith Olbermann's regular media critic guest, Michael Musto of the Village Voice, called Ann Coulter a 'bastard' on last night's Countdown.
The topic was the news that Vanity Fair has picked celeb photographer Annie Liebovitz to snap the first pics of Suri, newborn daughter of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes. There is controversy as to whether Suri actually exists, given that, months after her announced birth, there have been no photos or viewings of the child.
Musto is clearly a skeptic on the subject. When Olbermann asked him what we should expect from Liebovitz's images of Suri, Musto responded with malicious glee:
"We should expect an image of a pillow. An illegitimate pillow, mind you. A bastard pillow. What's the word for a female bastard? Ann Coulter! An Ann Coulter pillow!"
Olbermann could be heard giggling in the background.
My, my! The verbal nastiness aside, what a stunning lapse in PC-speak by a Village Voice writer. 'Bastard'? Surely Musto knows we don't have bastards anymore. Just children born to single mothers. But the left-wing media will apparently sacrifice even political correctness for the greater cause of 'lam-bastardizing' a favorite target.
You will be sued by all troglodyte citizens [who form a numerous and vitally useful and necessary contingent] for gross defamation.
I've got a few names I could call Musto.
Does he know what it means?
um...Do you recall that Keith committed Ann Coulter doll abuse on his show a while ago? This is standard behaviour for him given what we know of him (too much already imho). Sean Penn admitted joining that strange behaviour group subsequently.
I'll have the roast duck with the mango salsa...
Michael Musto is an Italian-American Manhattan-based writer who began his career at The Village Voice, where he writes the weekly ([1]) La Dolce Musto celebrity and gossip column. He has since become somewhat of a media gadfly.
He has appeared numerous times on shows such as Countdown with Keith Olbermann and the E! channel. He is openly gay and is published regularly in various gay publications such as Out Magazine and ShowPeople. He appeared as a drag queen in the music video for Cyndi Lauper's single "Hey Now (Girls Just Want To Have Fun)", as a reporter in the film Garbo Talks, and as a zombie in the film Day of the Dead.
Bless you, my son...
I thought so too, and done with such obvious malice aforethought.
Many Democrats don't need neutering to avoid reproduction (gay, too dorky to get a date, abortion).
Oh, gimme a break. There's never been any "PC" when it comes to conservatives. The libs call us every name in the book and always have. These folks are idiots.

| I would have never known about this episode had it not been for this post. Come to think of it 99 and 44/100th of the nation wouldn't have known about it either. You are inadvertently promoting this dork. |
I once met the movie critic of "The Village Voice" years ago. His name was Andrew Sarris. And he was just as impressed with himself as is Mr. Musto.
Nothing to see here folks. It's par for the course at the "Voice."
BTW, the "Voice's" circulation is probably as strong as is the viewership of MSNBC.
I'm sure Ann wears Untermann's contempt and childish namecalling like a badge of honor. I would. Untermann is just a frustrated little geek who can't get his ratings up, a dork who was picked on all throughout his childhood who know wants to pretend he's the TV neighborhood bully, when all he really is is a massive geek.
Your brain's null and void !!!
