Too bad for Bashir, he should have fought to stay. Palin is less than the chamber pot Bashir alluded to ---

Zero coverage of Nelson Mandela, but they did a full segment on the Martin Bashir resignation and how magnanimous Sarah Palin was for forgiving him after he apologized. Also said he had resigned three weeks after the incident. - But wasn’t it two? ---

Also said he had resigned three weeks after the incident. - But wasn’t it two? Bashir’s latest foot-in-mouth comment was commited on Nov 18th. That’s 3 weeks ago. Since I just read your comment about Fox’s Mandela coverage, I decided to turn to the FOX channel and they were discussing Mandela. ---

And he’s mentioned on the website as well, if you scroll down from the screaming headline for the press-stopping scoop that the uniforms for US Olympic snowboarders are being sewn in (gasp) \*other \*countries… ---

I’ll just turn my channel right now so I can see the anchors stand right up and sing three inspired A Capella verses of “[Look For The Union Label](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QO7VUklDlQw)”… ---

> [@DJ\_Motorbike](#): > > Bashir’s disgusting loony-leftist rant is typical treatment from the left of conservative women who, since they don’t play homage to the “war on women” meme from the Hammer & Sickle crowd, are characterized as whores or reduced to a punch line. Sara Palin is a successful politician, author, wife, mother, grandmother, businessperson & commentator for conservatism she has millions of adoring fans. She’s living the feminist dream - which is why the left has to use character assassination to discredit her. > > The left has done this to other successful conservative women: Megyn Kelly, Jan Brewer, Ann Coulter to name a few. But no it’s conservative’s who are at “war with women” because many feel that what’s her name Fluke should buy her own damn condoms. > > Oh and where the fuck is Barrack “civility” Obama on this. Dead fucking silence. That idiot should resign. Go outside and play. The adults are talking. You can come back in when we’re done. ---

Yeah, go outside and play while the grownups cheer a mainstream newsman for talking about pissing and shitting in a woman’s mouth. ---
