Oh this was the high brow kind of journalism that Dana Milbank was lecturing the Huffington Post over. Consider us all schooled.
Time for another one of those blogger ethics panels.

How about some Arrogant Bastard for Milbank?
Villagers being villagers
Milbank is on a real tear as of late when it comes to beclowning himself.
The liberal media in action.
Takes one to know one, Dana.
Oddly enough, Oliver missed three shots at Republicans in a row (Vitter, Pickering, Sanford), followed by a group shot at Republicans, then Sessions and Cornyn. Finally, some Democrats get theirs — Kucinich, Waxman, Byrd, and Rahm Emanuel. Then there’s the Hillary Clinton reference, followed by a shot at Palin.
Let’s see… six Republicans by name, plus a collective, vs. five Democrats. What’s the balance in Congress again?

Were any of those “shots” at Republicans equivalent to implying that Hillary is a “bitch,” Jay?

I don’t follow, Mr. Tea. What’s your complaint? That Oliver failed to note the naughty things an alleged mainstream political journalist said about Republicans before he called the Secretary of State a “bitch”?
Is that it?
Quaker, those slams on Republicans referred to their congressional leadership in demonic/diabolic tones. Obviously they were trying to be equal-opportunity offenders, but 1) they simply weren’t that funny; B) they shouldn’t be trying to be funny; and III) it’s obvious where Oliver’s sympathies lie.
The shot at Hillary was bad. But not really worse than the rest.
They should leave the funny to those are actually funny — such as the guys from Red State Update, or ‘zo, or Crowder, or RedEye…
