Joe vs. Conservative Bloggers
Posted by: Matt Lewis at 2:41 PM

Michelle Malkin takes Joe Scarborough to task for this clip: 

Is it just me or is political correctness completely amok when conservatives start buying into it?  Look, this is morning talk radio.  It's supposed to be a bit controversial.  That's the schtick.   

I honestly don't know how any host could satisfy the humorless morals police on the right -- or the politically correct whiners on the left -- and still be entertaining. 

The truth is that these shows make fun of everybody -- including Hillary.  Do they sometimes cross the line:  Of course!    I'll be the first to admit that this is tasteless schoolyard humor for political junkies (And I'm willing to bet the target audience is men ... though that may be politically incorrect to say, as well). 

Get over it ...

I don't get you people
Malkin comments on a bad joke. She suggests, rightfully might I add, that Scarborough was out of line and should apologize.

What exactly is wrong with that?

You guys act like she wants him fired, or disciplined, or hung, etc. She simply stated a belief that moral people here should agree with. What Scarborough said was uncalled for and he should apologize for making a ridiculous, disgusting assertion about someone's wife.

Its all fun and games 'till someone gets
hurt.

People only revert to that kind of low crap because nobody fights back anymore. Jokes about a man's wife are off limits. Especially in public. If I was Fred Thompson, I'd let Joe Scarborough know publicly that I was coming cross country to remove some of his teeth; and then I'd be sure to make it happen.

See how f--king funny it is then.

JOE WOULD BE AN IDIOT TO START A
scandal food fight, considering Pensacola Florida was a town of about 75,000 in the ninties, and everybody knew everybody's business! I lived there 16 years and I know!

Humor is Offensive
People don't spend much time analyzing humor, but there's no such thing as offensive humor. There's only degrees of offense. The chicken crossing the road joke is a mild insult at one's ability to know why things cross roads.

uhh, jl, tell us how you really feel
Gee wiz! What proof do you have that Malkin's husband is doing the hard work? Are you saying she isn't bright enough to do it herself?

If you have no solid, irrefutable proof, it may be you who is the hater here.

Lighten up, people. I thought it was funny.
