Fox News puts a foot wrong
We read:
"During an interview with conservative commentator Michelle Malkin on a Republican video attacking Michelle Obama, the network repeatedly flashed up a graphic describing the prospective first lady as "Obama's baby mama".
Politico cites a Fox staffer as saying that others internally were bothered by the use of the offensive epithet - derogatory hip-hop slang for "the mother of your child, whom you did not marry and with whom you are not currently involved", according to the Urban Dictionary.

That does sound a pretty foolish accusation.
You know, I once shocked the minister's wife at my wife's church by commenting that she's "the woman sleeping with our pastor."
ReplyDeleteI guess there's no room for humor....
Although I do see the humor in it, it is pretty doggone tacky. Refering to the next potential First Lady in that context is ... yes ... very tacky.
