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.

"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!" And this got a laugh? That's not even funny or clever. Me thinks this liberal is obsessed with Ann. I dont even know how you get from Suri Cruise to Ann Coulter- in a rational mind those roads just do not connect.

Go easy on Olbermann. He is suffering from an infliction known as "aging hippieitis." It is known to affect the central nervous system and restrict lucidity. :-)

Can't wait for Ann's eloquent polysyllabic reply. But, unfortunately large words are wasted on Keith.

The near as I can figure (with my handy, dandy German-English dictionary) Olbermann translates as "olive man".
Now, does this imply that his brain is the size of an olive? If so, is the olive pitted? Stuffed?

I agree. I read, and then re-read his statement several times, trying to keep an open mind about it, and it is not humorous in the least. It doesn't even make sense.

the "B" comment just gives more credence to Ann's belief that liberals are Godless....

That anyone even saw his show is the most newsworthy item of all. If Big Foot doesn't want to be found, he should sit next to Olberman on his show.

Michael Musto Crowns Himself Original Snarky Gay The Gays over at Queerty have an amusing interview with the Village Voice's resident bicycle mechanic and gossip slut Michael Musto:
You are celebrating your 20th year with the Voice. What has been your biggest accomplishment?
I pioneered snark and was openly gay way before that was cool. I stuck to my guns and kept afloat and now I'm probably not snarky or gay enough!

"I came to believe that we liberals couldn't possibly be so intolerant and hateful, because our ideology was famous for ACLU-type commitments to free speech, dissent and, especially, tolerance for those who differed with us.... Now, in the closing days of the Lieberman primary campaign, I have reluctantly concluded that I was wrong.... Moreover, the support he gets from these haters should not be attributed to Mr. Lamont--nor should he be blamed for their extremism, bigotry and intolerance. But he ought to denounce them. He hasn't as yet. Mr. Lamont and all other liberal Democrats should remember the McCarthy era and not fall into the trap of the hypocrisy of the double standard...."
