CNN Pundit: It's Not My Fault I Have to Call Hillary Clinton a Bitch
The cable news floodgates were wide open last night, and it would have been impossible to analyze every single drop of sweet, life-sustaining punditry that flowed through our televisions.
Lucky for us, Talking Points Memo caught a choice moment on CNN in which GOP talking head Alex Castellanos took issue with Jeffery Toobin's suggestion that it's biased for the media to refer to Hillary Clinton as a bitch. Especially since "you couldn't say the equivalent thing about a black person." (What, that he's good at basketball?)
Castellanos clarified: calling a woman a bitch isn't evidence of gender bias. Many times, it's simply evidence of a commitment to accuracy. "Some women, by the way, are named that and it's accurate," he said.
Pretty impressive insight for a paunchy, pencil-dicked douchebag with a bad moustache. Hey, maybe this accuracy thing can catch on!

Oh, yes. Women are totally better than men. Women are better than men at everything except sports and figuring out how to earn more than .80 cents to each man's dollar… Oh yes – We are also not as good at being elected to run a country. We are just rock stars, ladies! Men allow us to say we are better than them and pretend to agree so we won't withhold sex.
hillary is a bitch, and if obama were acting liked a crazed, spoiled brat, he'd a be an asshole.
Toobin is right. It is difficult to call a black man a “white bitch.”
Newsflash everyone: “Bitch” is a pejorative. And while a pejorative is offensive, derogatory, and belittling, it is not the same as a racial epithet.
It would be a racial slur if you called Michelle Obama a black bitch, don't 'ya think?
So are we all saying that being black and being a woman are more or less equivalencies on the continuum of ridiculous reasons to hate a candidate? Regional anomalies aside (thank you Kunt-Uckee). This debate smells really, really funky – like it expired in the 50’s. I don’t think I’m a fan of the implications.
How I yearn for things that expired in the 1950's: Westerns. Anti-Catholic sectarianism in Australia. Tabouleh Heights. "Classic" dating experiences. Michigan Rummy.
I like Chuck Berry and stockings with the seams up the back as much as the next gal, but sooner or later these archaic arguments have got to go.
This is why you shouldn't let "political analyst" talk during election night. Go back to one "journalist' at a desk, reporting the numbers. Edward R Murrow warned us against this kind of media. If you can't see that there is a clear favorite in this race (Obama) and clear hatred for his opponent, you are dumb, deaf and blind.
If only one political analyst were allowed to speak at a time – They would all be jobless and sleeping under bridges with newspaper blankets. Media monkeys need to eat too!
I've said it for months, Hillary is not a bitch. She's a dick.
