        It's not, ergo that's why the reichpublicans do it. Their version of freedom of speech is enforcing inappropriate behavior and calling the president a n-word.

            How has he ever DONE WORSE?

            "Lighten up." Two words that invariably follow whenever a conservative says something that's both inappropriate AND not funny.

              They have different sections for a reason. There are many items here which are not about misinformation. It's how the site used to be, and that's how they've organized it once again.

        I don't see much here to condemn or praise. Hilary would never whine about this joke (unlike a previous VP candidate) because it's simply lame comedy. Who are these two ugly twins anyway? God its like bad College Cable.

      I notice the clip has been removed from YouTube. Yeah, earnest liberals like moi are known for being humorless, but this completely and utterly fails the humor test. The "mad bitch" line is only the most offensive and insulting line in it. 'Fraid this is one of those clips where I just didn't feel compelled to even crack a bit of a smile

      The Washington Post has responded, as reported by TPM:

      Says Kris Coratti, Director of Communications at the Post: "The video was a satirical piece that lampooned people of all stripes. There was a section of the video that went too far, so we have removed the piece from our website.

      No rebuke? No punishment? No firing?

      There were some funny spots, but for the most part I felt they missed the mark. The comedy was so easy to perceive here that actually making a sketch about it proved to be redundant. The snap at Clinton certainly could have been avoided, but I'd say that others (Waxman in particular) were in bad taste as well.

      Good to see the skit was removed from the website.
