He is a Fool
saying poo in palins gob.


[Bashir then read vivid descriptions of
the brutal treatment of slaves from
the diary of an 18th-century
plantation overseer, Thomas Thistlewood.
The diary describes slaves being
beaten and having feces and
urine forced into their mouths.
“When Mrs Palin invokes slavery,
she doesn’t just prove her rank
ignorance," Bashir said.
"She confirms if anyone truly
qualified for a dose of discipline
from Thomas Thistlewood,

she would be the outstanding candidate.”
In his statement Wednesday,
Bashir again apologized: "I deeply regret
what was said."]

Cant stand either of them. His comments were indefensible but once again the Republicans kick up a fuss and MSNBC caves to the pressure. If Republicans lived by their own rules then Fox News would be firing staff every week. This looks like double standards.

In context, she compared the Govt shutdown to slavery so he said if she wants to compare anything to slavery then she should get a dose of what slaves had to suffer. As a comment is was undoubtedly too far but far worse has been said but the likes of O'Reilly' Hannity and Rush Limbaugh but the left never kicks up enough of a fuss as the right. The reason it took him three weeks to go is cuz he initially didnt want to and quite rightly stuck by his comment then came the fuss and then after the contract pay had been sorted out he's off to any news outlet that will take him and I doubt he'll be unemployed for long, so who really wins in this situation.
