That Donny Deutsch and Harold Ford, Jr. would jump to defend a Democrat who made a hideously impolitic remark, whereas they would have skewered a Republican saying the same thing, is altogether predictable. What's remarkable was that Mark Halperin called them out on it.
It happened on Morning Joe today in the context of Dem PA Rep. Paul Kanjorski's comment yesterday that a housing bill he was advocating helped "good, average Americans" and not "minorities" or "defective people." Halperin was first to comment, and actually launched a pre-emptive strike against the double-standard, observing "this is one of those instances where you'll hear a lot of Republicans say if this were a Republican congressman, the outcry would be a lot greater."
That didn't prevent Ford and Deutsch from whitewashing Kanjorski's words. Ford dismissed the comments as "a complete slip of words." Despite admitting he doesn't know Kanjorski, Deutsch somehow divined that "there wasn't the malice behind those words."

Flying pig ping to Today show list.
Donny Deuetsch was hired by the White House to speak well on TV about how great the BAILOUT was!!! He’s getting paid by US...the TAXPAYERS!!! He makes me sick....he’s also got a HUGE NApoleon complex!! He’s a tiny little man child.
That was a shocker, Halperin must have a book coming out. Or he was possessed for a minute. He usually fits in so well with this far left crew.
Hmmm...watched the video. We may not be seeing much more of Halperin on that show any more.
You mean the White House has TWO people on that show (Mika being the other)?
Kanjorski is an A-hole and a thief-Lou Barletta.com!
He truly is a DISGUSTING human being!
Yes!! The White House has a HOTLINE to Mika!!
