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.

No, I don't watch tv, but I'm not surprised at how any of these people act!

[null and void]

How so?

[Graybeard58]

What's the word for a male child borne by a bitch Musto ?

[WideGlide]

Olbermann and Musto? Something smells like poo in there.

[RinaseaofDs]

You don't have to worry about him reproducing. Musto is a homosexual.

[null and void]

Bless you too!

That's the best photo of Her I've seen in a while!

[Suzy Quzy]

He's as gay as they come, he's NOT going to reproduce.

[null and void]

Thank God for that!

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.

Wow! What a rezoomay Mikey.

Who's Keith Olberman and what is Countdown?

KO is a failed sports commentator and 'Countdown' is the nightly lottery to guess how many more shows MSNBC will finance before pulling the plug on this buffoon.

[RSmithOpt]

Olebrmann is one of those metrosexuals that is extremely offended and intimidated by a woman who is more intelligent, smarter and successful than himself.

Therefore, atypical of liberal trash, he finds himself to respond with no other option than to involuntarily (mental aspects) attack personally cause he simply can handle the truth.

This type of preprogrammed mental response is on of the best known side effects of liberal brainwashing.

[Tzimisce]

Ann Coulter shouldn't be allowed to make rude comments - we reserve that right only for ourselves....

[OPS4]

The Village Voice is a 90% gay readership. It covers mostly the Gay Agenda.

To wit, any conservative women is a Bastard.

So, Ms. Coulter,is just the one taking the brunt of the feelings the village voice readership, has towards Conservative American Women.

What a gas bag.

[PissAndVinegar]

Why do we expect the media to acually understand the words they use?

[ItsForTheChildren]

I wonder if all six of his viewers saw it.
