Remember this story the next time the rabid right wants to play the "civility" card against us
Townhall: Michelle Obama is a Bitch, Get It?

Burt Perlutsky was a TV writer a long time ago. Then he aged out of it and became a crank. This wasn't one of those major loses like Steinbeck. Now he writes a column for Townhall.com, the popular website owned by a Christian radio network.

Here's something from his current offering:

Take Michelle Obama...please. Every time I turn around, there she is on a magazine cover. Now, normally, like the Mafia, I lay off the spouses, but inasmuch as this particular spouse attended the same racist church as her hubby for 20 years, I'll make an exception in her case. After all, in spite of the fact that affirmative action got her an Ivy League degree and a $7,000-a-week salary and, moreover, has sent billions of dollars for no particularly good reason to Africa, she insists this is a mean country. The burning question in my circle is: if the First Family gets a female dog, will she be the First Bitch or will she have to settle for second place?
Get it? Because "bitch" had two meanings!

Ah, Christian-sponsored humor. That's not just funny. That's Jesus funny.

1. It's TOWNHALL. What do you expect from them?
That's like trying to find matzoh recipes at the Adolph Hitler Fan Club, to expect decency from those people.

I don't understand the outrage. It's normal to expect assholes to act like assholes. What would be surprising is if they behaved respectfully--now THAT would be a shocker.

has been becoming aware that about 1/3 of the country would be perfectly happy with an aryan, fascist dictatorship.

3. Where there's racism why not also expect sexism?
