It's hard to get more hypocritical for center-left commentators than what HBO's Bill Maher said about Republican Sen. Marco Rubio's presidential bid, making the liberal our pick for the Mainstream Media Scream of the week.
It came on his show, Real Time with Bill Maher, on Friday night:
"Another week another candidate. This week: Everybody ready for Marco Rubio of Florida? Oh, my gosh. Yeah, they're all saying he's fresh, he's new. I'll say. He looks like he could be Hillary Clinton's pool boy, this guy."
Media Research Center Vice President of Research Brent Baker explains our pick: "Imagine the reaction if a conservative made such a stereotypical, derogatory and racially-tinged joke about a liberal Democrat who is Hispanic. Saying it was just a joke would not allay the outrage. It sure is nice to be a liberal so you're able to get away with such things."
But when a liberal/soclialist/marxist/muslim/democrat is young and reasonably good-looking (according to the liberal psychophants, at least) - dare I say an "articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy"? - you're "fresh" and "energetic" and, blah, blah, blah.
Hypocrisy is the liberal's stock in trade.
She wouldn’t do that, Rubio might find her email server sunk in the deep end of the pool.
Rubio: “When did you stop beating Ann Coulter?”
If he really was ready for prime time...
