Turns out Martin Bashir’s mouth has gotten him into trouble before.
Bashir resigned from MSNBC Wednesday over the sliming of Sarah Palin after meeting with the network’s president, Phil Griffin.

While working for ABC News in the summer of 2008, he was addressing an Asian American Journalists Association convention in Chicago, with his “20/20” colleague Juju Chang also on stage. He began commenting on her dress.
As New York magazine reported in a brief and little-noticed item, Bashir said that "I’m happy to be in the midst of so many Asian babes.” And, he added, “I’m happy that the podium covers me from the waist down.” He said a speech should be “like a dress on a a beautiful woman — long enough to cover the important parts and short enough to keep your interest — like my colleague Juju’s.” Some audience members booed, the magazine said.
A little digging reveals that ABC quietly suspended Bashir after the incident....

Yes. Against pigs.
Manners matter in The States, Martin, and especially towards women.
Go back home to Merry Olde England, Martin, and be your normal, rude, unhappy self.

From what ceiling?
He’s a sick freak, for sure.
