R rated CNN and MSNBC?

My my what is this world coming to?
The other night while watching CNN and MSNBC I thought I picked up several more than over the top sexually R rated slurs in regards to the “tea-parties”.

My first response was NAHHHH. Must have been a slip of the brain with those who uttered them.

Apparently I was not the only one to notice. Seems like others caught the lewd joke foisted on the public by CNN’s Anderson Cooper as he insulted the grass-roots Tea Parties that blanketed the United States this week.

The comment:
“It’s hard to talk when you’re tea-bagging.”

The comment parallels the “tea-bagging” term commonly used in the homosexual community to describe a homosexual act in which testicles are inserted in someone’s mouth.

Greg Gutfeld and the Red Eye group do a great job of skewering Cooper and his ilk over the “teabagging” comments.

Imagine the weeping, wailing and absolute howls of outrage that would be coming from the left had any of this been uttered by the right about a NOW rally.
MSM hypocrisy at its finest by CNN and MSNBC and the agents that govern them.

Personally I think both Cooper and Shuster should get the Imus treatment to be “fair and balanced”.

A mini re-cap by Fox News:

CNN anchor Anderson Cooper interspersed “teabagging” references with analyst David Gergen’s more staid commentary on how Republicans are still “searching for their voice.”

“It’s hard to talk when you’re teabagging,” Cooper explained. Gergen laughed, but Cooper kept a straight face.

MSNBC’s David Shuster weaved a tapestry of “Animal House” humor Monday as he filled in for Countdown host Keith Olbermann.

The protests, he explained, amount to “Teabagging day for the right wing and they are going nuts for it.”

He described the parties as simultaneously “full-throated” and “toothless,” and continued: “They want to give President Obama a strong tongue-lashing and lick government spending.” Shuster also noted how the protesters “whipped out” the demonstrations this past weekend.
