The Democrats thought they had a great distraction from the economic issues that bedevil most Americans in the form of 30-year-old activist Sandra Fluke. Rush Limbaugh foolishly (as he later acknowledged) called her a slut and a prostitute in the course of ridiculing, entirely properly, her very silly claim that the federal government should force all employers to pay for their female employees contraceptionI never did figure out whether the plan extended to buying male employees condoms and vasectomiesregardless of whether either the employers or employees prefer such benefits to cash compensation. Ms. Flukes theory, really, was so stupid as to be a ripe target for ridicule.
The Democrats went crazy in the aftermath of Rushs error, posturing themselves as the upholders of civility. Barack Obama got into the act, calling Ms. Fluke to congratulate her on her demand for free goods and services, and to ask how her delicate psyche was a holding up. Obama later explained that he did it for his daughters, Sasha and Malia, whom he would never want to hear coarse language.
Well. There was a basic problem with the Democrats strategy; namely, that pretty much everyone knows that when a Democrat talks about a Republican woman, slut or prostitute would be considered a compliment. So it was no surprise when conservatives pointed out that Bill Maher, who contributed $1 million to Obamas re-election campaign, has called Sarah Palin a c*** and a dumb t***, along with other, sometimes worse, epithets. When asked about Mahers disgusting attacks, Presidents Obamas press secretary explained that Obama is not a speech policeman. So evidently Sasha and Malia will have to hear some crude talk after allfrom Democrats, anyway.
Of course, Bill Maher is just one of many. Democrats, in general, are cruder and more vitriolic than Republicans. So it didnt take more than 24 hours or so for Greta van Susteren to point out that someone named Louis C.K.it is highly unlikely that you have heard of himwas scheduled to host the 68th Annual Radio & Television Congressional Correspondents Dinner on June 8. Those correspondents, of course, are some of the very people who had been excoriating Limbaugh for calling Ms. Fluke a slut. CNNs Jay McMichael headed the committee that was in charge of the program:
Were very excited about having Louis C.K. at the dinner, said Jay McMichael of CNN, who chairs the RTCAs executive committee. This is an evening youll want to experience. Were shaking things up, showcasing the unexpected, and delivering lots of laughs.
Lots of laughs, indeed: Mr. C.K., it turns out, is foul-mouthed even for a Democrat. Ms. van Susteren collected some of his comments about Sarah Palin. Feel free to skip ahead if you have a weak stomach or are easily offended:
Louis C.K. says of Palin: her f*** retard making c*** and the baby that just came out of her f**** disgusting c***.
To Palin: just stick your t** in its mouth and shut up.
And here is more: her f***** retard making c****.
Need more to convince you? Here is what he says on twitter:
I want to rub my fathers c*** all over Sarah Palins fat t***
By the way, there is more, lots more.
That, however, is plenty. Even for a liberal, Mr. C.K. is disgusting.
So tonight Glenn Reynolds reported that the Congressional Correspondents (Democrats all, no doubt) have decided to forgo the pleasure of hearing Sarah Palins c*** and t*** ridiculed, along with her young sonhow funny is that!and have discreetly canceled Mr. C.K.s appearance.
This civility thing could be tough on the Democrats. What are they going to do for entertainment?

I wish this was as true with Republican Party leaders as it is with the base.
I know Obamas media surrogates called members of the tea party teabaggers, but I wasn’t aware he used the term itself. Are you certain?
Just trying to keep everybody currently living in Obamaville smiling. There is hope outside the wire.
