In Beer Summit "Spoof" Milbank Suggests Hillary Drink "Mad Bitch" Beer

By Brian Beutler - July 31, 2009

If I were on the board of directors of the Kaplan test prep company, and discovered that the people running a money-losing Kaplan subsidiary affiliate (better known as the Washington Post) had greenlighted a feature called "Mouthpiece Theater," I would demand that either they be fired, or that the Post itself be liquidated.

1. I think in the context of the whole piece

It's not that bad, but they should have known better. It was a stupid mistake on a touchy subject.

I still wonder why they never used "Arrogant Bastard Ale" in that skit.

3. I've seen the video right here and in other blogs.

People seemed to have complained enough that the Post pulled the video, although it can still be found at Youtube.

Personally, I think that Hillary would have laughed. She's heard far worse and doesn't let it affect her. Little men and boys who fear powerful women are of no concern to her.

6. Little men and boys who fear powerful women are of no concern to anyone

7. Anyone who is a Hillary supporter has grown a thick skin.

Reading the rabid sexism on the internet is a reminder that most users are men. Far too many of those little guys ARE in power, whether in politics, business or the media. Not until women obtain equal representation in the halls of power will sexism be minimized (I don't think that it will ever truly end).
