Will They Get the Imus Treatment?

By Paul Chesser on 8.6.09 @ 1:07PM

Two of the Washington Post's hotshot political reporters had a little fun with a video camera, posted the results on the newspaper's Web site, and got promptly shut down.

Two of the Washington Post's hotshot political reporters had a little fun with a video camera, posted the results on the newspaper's Web site, and got promptly shut down:

In the video, columnist Dana Milbank and White House correspondent and blogger Chris Cillizza appeared in smoking jackets to discuss the kinds of beer politicians might drink. Milbank said he couldn't reveal to whom President Barack Obama would serve a drink called "Mad B---- Beer." That line was followed by a brief picture of Clinton.

The group Women, Action and the Media complained to the Post in a letter signed by 32 women. They called the video "sexist" and "tasteless."

Does WAM have an Al Sharpton equivalent who will harp on this transgression until the Post cans the reporters? Milbank, at least, appears more flippant than remorseful:

"I regret that we put up that image," Milbank said, "and while I highly doubt the secretary of state has seen 'Mouthpiece Theater,' I would be honored to have the opportunity to apologize to her over a beer."

Or perhaps Mrs. Clinton will get all Palinesque on 'em.

This incident proves that feminists only speak for LIBERAL women. They don't care about gender, they only care about ideology; hence the name FemiNazi. It's always all about the ideology with them

Milbank and Cillizza are the real Mad B-----s. Ugh! Liberal men are so disgusting: Beta males, all.

Milbank is a d-bag, so is Cillizza. These morons appear on MSNBC all of the time with that slimebucket, Keith Overbite.

Last year, David Shuster, another MSNBC miscreant, claimed that the Clintons were pimping Chelsea out during the campaign and was rewarded with his own show.

Not a lot of love between NBC and Hillary. The clowns better hope she's never elected president; Fort Marcy Park could be up close and personal in their future. lol
