MSNBC prides itself as being the place for politics, the seemingly clever marketing slogan could be used to describe the network as the place where hosts try to use dirty humor about important political events.
David Shuster, filling in for MSNBC loose-cannon Keith Olbermann on his April 13 broadcast, and his writers probably thought they were pretty clever when they pieced an item denigrating the tax protests by using the sexual term teabagging. Urbandictionary.com, cited multiple times by one MSNBC guest, describes it as when a man places his testicles onto someones face, or into their mouth.
For most Americans, Wednesday, April 15th will be Tax Day, Shuster said as he began a soliloquy with about a dozen separate oral sex puns. But in our fourth story tonight: Its going to be teabagging day for the right-wing and theyre going nuts for it. Thousands of them whipped out the festivities early this past weekend, and while the parties are officially toothless, the teabaggers are full-throated about their goals.

FCC doesn’t have jurisdiction over cable.
Boycott their advertisers and NBC altogether.

I hadn't even heard of "teabagging" until I saw this. The ooh la la gay crowd would be expected to know this kind of thing, I suppose. I've seen hints of vulgarity on recent late night TV shows, but nothing express like this. And they have the nerve to lecture us about being intolerant.

What is funny is that their own tea bag protests from the past are documented
here,
here,
here, and
here.
But it was a great idea when they did it, LOL! Pure hypocrisy.
