1. Ugly, but predictable..

When "girls" get out of line.."Boys" can be counted on to bring on unrelated, but oh-so-"funny" demeaning sexual comments.

It's an opportunity to let out their pent-up mysogyny.

Kudos to Cenk for mentioning it.

2. I haven't watched Cenk's take on this but

I will admit the first thing I thought of was the scene from There's Something about Mary where this still came from.

and in the movie it was semen.
FWIW I am a female.
Just a first impression of the photo...

4. Right, that's essentially what the joke was. But here's the difference between Halperin & Beck

I disagree with the logic and find it offensive, but there is at least a discernible train of logic running from Landrieu trading her vote to secure funding for federal programs in Louisiana and Beck & Limbaugh calling her a prostitute. In the case of Halperin, there's no actual argument behind his lurid sexual insult. The image of a US Senator with hair frizzed up from semen has no political meaning. He's just fantasizing about sexually demeaning a leading politician.

He's pathetic.

3. they better watch it, or they'll really tick her off and she'll vote for reform

'Beck attacked Landrieu first, as “a high-class prostitute.” And he later said, “…we know you’re ‘hookin’, but you’re just not cheap.”

Limbaugh, not to be outdone, attacked the female Senator as “the most expensive prostitute in the history of prostitution.” All of this odious vitriol is the result of Landrieu voting in favor of allowing the Democratic Senate health care reform bill to proceed to the Senate floor for debate. Because the bill contained $300 million in expanded Medicaid aid for her state, which is still suffering economically from the ravages of Hurricane Katrina, she’s being portrayed, as a whore.'




disgusting.
