Coming out of a commercial break at 8:40 AM eastern time today, during Randi Kayes shift on CNN, the network unexpectedly chose to play the refrain from the song Stupid Girls by the pop singer Pink going into a story about former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. The two word refrain repeated over and over as the camera panned past Ms. Kaye and faded into a picture of Palin visiting a Chic-fil-A restaurant. The host then went on to a fairly stock story about the recent Chic-fil-A brouhaha, including Palins visit, with no reference to the introductory tune.
For the record, its my understanding that the hosts of these shows on the 24 hour cable news channels generally have nothing to do with the selection of the bumper music. Thats usually handled by the production staff, and a specific individual is frequently assigned to do nothing but select the musical cuts. CNN can and probably will easily say that it was all a coincidence and it might be hard to prove otherwise. (EDIT: See update.)
This is, however, kind of reminiscent of that rapidly exploding moment when the house band on Jimmy Fallons show played a derogatory song clip as then presidential candidate Michele Bachmann was coming on stage. Fallon later had to apologize. It makes one wonder if these networks ever manage to learn anything from the past.

8^D
Especially a black one
Just imagine all the feigned “outrage”
I think you mean "redundancy." "Ethical Democrat" would be an oxymoron.
I guess their audience REALLY is this stupid. Besides, wasn't the song done by a group named Garbage?

Cheney’s daughter is queer. Cheney supports “queer” marriage. Since Palin does not, he “must” criticize her.
Have you not noticed that this “issue” trumps all others, even with so-called conservatives. If you don’t toe the quuer-line, you will be mocked, attacked, and insulted.
Its a queer thing!
"Comments unavailable" LOL! The libs can't take it!
CNN staffers: The reason Obama never has to wash his private parts...
How did Cheney put a dagger in her back?
Actually I think conservative media watchdogs are the only people who watch CNN anymore. Well, aside from airports and hospitals and such.
