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.

Olbermann is a troglodyte.

Surely any idiot can see that Ann Coulter is definitely NOT a bastard!

Hey Olbermann, your ratings still stink.
All them Madonna "shock" tactics are still not working.

Careful, you don't want to be paying for roast duck with mango salsa, do you?
Troglodytes have feelings, too.

Newsflash to mediots
Calling Coulter a "bastard" IS POLITICALLY CORRECT.
Insulting conservatives is politically correct.
Insulting looney leftists like Keith Olberman (he is still on the air? what time?) is politically forbidden.

Pretty lame, being an attempt to verbally connect the subjects not related and not connectable. It's an idiocy, not wit.

Who's Keith Olberman and what is Countdown?
To: governsleastgovernsbest
Olbermann is simply desperate.
To: governsleastgovernsbest
Anybody who goes around and does the Hitler salute to try to attack the people who are beating him in the ratings by 10 to 1 margin is such a big loser not even to worry about.
To: governsleastgovernsbest
Soon MSNBC will have to pay people to watch Countdown.
