Video: Ziegler gets his mike cut off by MS-NBC
posted at 1:15 pm on June 10, 2009 by Ed Morrissey
If you want to see irony in action, watch as the “tingle up the leg” and the “Obama is sort of like God” network challenge John Ziegler on his credibility. Contessa Brewer doesn’t want to actually talk about the subject – David Letterman’s two attacks on Palin’s 14-year-old daughter – but wants to make the interview about Ziegler instead. John has his own idea about what he wants to say, which is when Brewer demands that his mike get silenced:
RealClearPolitics reports (from John) that MS-NBC pulled a bait-and-switch on him. Norah O’Donnell was supposed to be his interviewer, who has interviewed John in the past. For some reason, they threw Brewer at him, who clearly wanted to keep John on a tight leash. Brewer had no interest in talking about the topic at hand (Letterman), but in trying to zing Palin and John’s interview of her.
I’d call this red meat for everyone. The Left can cheer Brewer for her manhandling of Ziegler, while the rest of us can point out that (a) everyone at MS-NBC knows that Ziegler criticizes their coverage every chance he gets, and (b) they invited him, and not the other way around.
Besides, MS-NBC is the absolutely last media organization that can level charges of “cheerleading” at anyone else in the industry. Have they canned Evan Thomas for calling Obama “sort of God” or Chris Matthews for his “tingle up my leg”? When they do that, then Contessa Brewer can sniff at John Ziegler for a lack of journalistic objectivity.
Update: On a related note, Tommy Christopher rips David Letterman:
There’s a whole lot of justified outrage going on about David Letterman’s recent attacks on Sarah Palin and her 14 year-old daughter. There really is no denunciation strong enough for these attacks, which are in many ways more egregious than the Guy Cimbalo “Hate F*** List” that Playboy and Politico took down.
Letterman’s attacks were made in an exponentially larger, broader forum, and included the statutory rape of a minor child. They cannot be taken down or redacted.
But he also makes a good point here:
There are some who would try to hang Letterman’s attack on “the Left.” I’ll get to “the Left” in a minute, but Letterman is no more a liberal, in the political “team sports” sense of the word, than Guy Cimbalo is. They are not conservatives, but they are also basically apolitical. Their words are owned by a popular culture that is hostile to conservatism, but also to liberal ideals (of feminism as well as others). They are a third column.
The attacks aren’t coming from “the Left”, but the silence certainly is. Read all of Tommy’s post.
Update: Like some commenters, I’m particularly amused at Brewer’s offense at Ziegler’s claims of bias, but her lack of outrage over the personal attacks on a 14-year-old girl. Stay classy, Contessa!

Uh AP, were you watching the same interview I was? Ziegler manhandled her, that’s why she cut his mic.

And this is the basis of your cognitive disconnect. You play into their game of group identity, and blaming a group for the actions of an individual.
We do not even pretend to speak for the Republican Party… so why should the Repubs be held accountable for what we say here? And why should we “edit” what we say, because some Libtard will be offended by us doing the same thing THEY do? (and somehow, they manage to not tar themselves with the group identity brush, when one of theirs says somthing objectionalbe).
Heck, I’m not even a Republican. Why would what I say put them in a bad light?
Romeo13 on June 10, 2009 at 3:09 PM
The liberal media has made Sarah Palin a target. There also is a hatred for her from the Gay community. I got into a long discussion with someone that I admire who is Gay, and he and his friends went off his lid about Sarah Palin. None of his rant was justified or even capable of a reference. He was simply joining into to the fad of trashing this woman.

The ultimate hypocrisy is when MSNBC does a story about the derogatory comments left on this board.

Come to think of it-
I feel MS-NBC has been trying to pick this fight w/ Palin all day long. The lead in to Scarbourgh’s show this morning was along the likes of -
Sarah Palin can’t take a joke, and must think she is above the late night ribbing to which others (except Obama) are subjected. Letterman made her the subject of his top 10 list, and she called him “pathetic”.
Then Condessa tries to match wits with Zeiglar. John really roasted her.
gonnjos on June 10, 2009 at 3:11 PM
He was not taking her seriously… and who would…but that hurt her widdle feelings real real bad… so she took her ball and went home.
So sweet.
Thanks for sharing this with us cause I’m guessing most, like me, can’t watch MSNBC without the a hazmat suit.

HornetSting on June 10, 2009 at 3:12 PM
I haven’t watched Letterman’s comments…
but didn’t MSNBC once care about young girls, and condemn those who unfairly bash on them? Wasn’t Imus fired from that network for picking on college basketball players? Why wouldn’t MSNBC stand up for a 14 yr.old and condemn those who would try to smear her childhood? Why?
The double standard is sickening.

SELECTIVE LIBERAL OUTRAGE:
We have had Gov. Palin subjected to shouts of gang rape from
liberal comedians.
Shirts saying she should have been aborted.
Shirts showing her being punched out.
You-tube video of her being beaten down by a man.
Comments from political pundits,politicians,and entertainers
that were sexist,bigoted,and bordered on the psychotic.
Miss California,Mrs. Bush,and many other women subjected to the hatred and bigotry of liberals simply because they have different political views.
Nothing from the feminist.
Not hardly a word.
But now we have the feminist speaking up.
Now they have found something to be upset about:
All Latinas are not Mexican
A cartoonist at the Oklahoma City newspaper The Oklahoman responds to criticism of his drawing of Judge Sotomayor as a piñata to be struck by waiting GOP elephants.
http://feministlawprofessors.com/?p=11191
Jean Warner, chair of the Oklahoma Women’s Coalition, said there was nothing funny about the image.
So that’s what it takes to be offensive.
A pinata cartoon.
I thought cartoons were considered comedy.
Lighten up feminist,it’s only words.
what’s the harm right.
I mean wouldn’t it have been funnier if all those “guys” surrounding her were yelling about “hate F******” her instead.
Where was all of this outrage during these acts of liberal tolerance and intelligence:

This is insane rage — Sandra Bernhard bashing Sarah Palin and cursing her head off with hate warping her crazed face:
This is violent escalation — Palin-hating artwork designating her an “M.I.L.P.” (Mother I’d Like to Punch).
This is insane rage and violent escalation — pointing a fake gun at the head of a Sarah Palin likeness sitting next to a cardboard cutout of her daughter in a museum display:
and much, much more super intelligent actions from the “smart ones”.
Feminism is an absolute joke.It should be called “liberalism” because there ideology is all they care about,not women and their rights.

Ok, there, Einstein. Meanwhile, no one seemed to care about The Precedent sending his CORN/SEIU thugs over to the HOMES of AIG executives, which is where their children actually live – real physical intimidation (not tomention his “I’m the only one between you and the pitchforks” comment – but you blow a gasket over someone taking a Letterman joke and changing the names.

1. Did anyone notice Brewer indicate that she has been called a slut in public and it was okay with her? She didn’t mind. “I’m still here.” As if still being here is criteria enough to allow such personal insults. Brewer has just become the poster-girl for the de-evolution of the women’s movement and for the respect of professional women.
2. A 65 year old man who tells public sex jokes about teenaged girls is a perv.

As a woman, it is embarrasing as well as insulting to have someone like this ‘news’ person speak out on any thing. Almost as bad as Nora O’donnell, these barbie doll cut outs on MSNBC all must get the same script, hairdresser and make-up person, because not one of them ever has an intelligent opinion about ANYTHING, unless of course you count mo’s great upper arms. By the way isn’t the one, with the loooong blonde hair who can’t mover her head cause she may mess it up, I think her name is Alex, getting a little long in the tooth for this bunch…Just sayin’
clinker46 on June 10, 2009 at 3:21 PM
Talk about anti-feminism, Letterman was a complete ass. The very idea that a grown man could joke about women and young girls in that vein makes him a pompous ass. There was nothing funny about his attempt at gutter humor. Feminists should be railing against this kind of garbage.
elclynn on June 10, 2009 at 3:22 PM
I pretty much agree that you win voters with substance not slime. Liz Cheney has been doing a great job of that lately, and I wish we had more of that. In fact, last week I was arguing that we should all try to do a little less ad hominem name-calling.
But I think the ANSWER to ad-hominem name calling should include a pretty healthy dose of flaming in response. Only when liberals are nervous about the repercussions will they cease in their attacks. Let them find some other mewling victim to pick on.
What I’d really love to see is Conan O’Brien put “Contessa” and “slutty” together in a joke tonight. I want to see a “slutty contessa” web site with daily updates. Maybe a list of all her past romantic relationships, plus a few imaginary ones just to spice things up. Top it off with some leaked rumors about her escapades to the tabloids. But until Breitbart makes more progress, I’ll have to be satisfied that Brewer might read these comments and cry, alone and angry, in her car.
hawksruleva on June 10, 2009 at 3:24 PM
Every happiness for you two!
HornetSting on June 10, 2009 at 3:25 PM
One thing that is being overlooked is that Letterman made another sick comment the very next night. He said that they couldn’t keep Palin’s daughter away from Eliot Spitzer.
Eliot Spitzer was the Donk GOV of NY who hired PROSTITUTES.
So we have
1. Palin is a slut.
2. A-Rod knocked up 14 year Willow with Sarah there.
3. 14 year Old Willow is a prostitute.
Nice Work Dave.
Letterman should be fired. Hillbuzz has a list of Letterman sponsers to contact and boycott.

Obama hates gay marriage and likes to take his shirt off to

That never seems to come up in the liberal rants about all the “homophobes” that liberals selectively whine about.
Baxter Greene on June 10, 2009 at 3:25 PM
I don’t care whether you are being insulting or not. You’re about as tone-deaf politically as they come. You should be in Washington with the Beltway G.O.P.-you deserve each other for the galactic stupidity you’ve shown me here.
You think I don’t know any of this stuff that you’ve mentioned above?
In no political universe is it okay to go after underage children. This is Basic Campaign School Stuff.
You are being stupid. Crying “David Gergen” to someone who is trying to tell you to be smart is banging the table.
The problem is, while you and I are on the same side, your tactics couldn’t beat Himmler in an election for Mayor of Tel Aviv.
Trading internet insults is fine, but look here, Clyde, what you’re advocating is almost surely to lose elections for us. Going after the Obama kids? Are you nuts?
You must want eight years of this guy! Because that’s what you’ll have.
Trade fire with fire, yes. Scorched earth when necessary, yes. Dominate the language, yes.
But I’m going to call out stupidity when I see it, and that was stupid. Your endorsement of it was stupid, especially in a time when we need smart.

He was dissing the Christians, and the Mormons for the Gay Marriage thing…
I asked him about the Moslems, and he got really quiet…
when I pointed out that he has been protesting people who only want to keep the status quo, while NOT protesting people who want to STONE HIM TO DEATH… because its SAFE to protest nonviolent Mormons, while you actualy have some risk if you protest against Moslems…
He got very quiet once I pointed out his cowardice…
Its easy to flame at people who will not fight back… gets harder however when they will…
Its time to fight back.

About that Letterman thing. Since when does “knocked up” mean rape?
Also, it may be no less offensive, but I’m pretty sure Letterman thought he was referring to Bristol Palin, not her 14-year-old sister.

So, liberal comedians, and I use that term loosely, are getting liberal translators now too?
Doesn’t matter, it is still out of bounds.
Remember what happened when MSNBC Teabagger David Shuster talked about Hillary ‘pimping’ out her twenty eight old daughter-David got his pee pee slapped. But, he is STILL on the same network.
The point, if you insult a liberal’s child, it is war. If you insult a conservative’s child, it is comedy and no big deal.

Women – of whatever political arena – really need to pay more attention to this because it’s a sickness. I stopped watching Letterman and Maher completely because their hate for women is so painfully intense it hurts to see it in action. Thank god most men are not like that, but the men who are – whether they use words or fists – need to be nailed up to a pillory and subjected to public censure.
.
Women like Brewer who condone it are worse than the abusers.
FerfeLaBat on June 10, 2009 at 3:43 PM
( sigh ) You People are amazing……
having sex with a 14-year-old is statutory rape
a 3–something man having sex with a 14-year-old girl he never met is almost certainly forced, and thus rape
you claim to know what Dave was actually thinking? You’re “pretty sure”, huh? Well, I’m pretty sure what you are
Janos Hunyadi on June 10, 2009 at 3:43 PM
No, not reading minds, just making an educated guess. But since Palin has one well-known daughter who was pregnant, and A-Rod is a horn dog, I think the joke referred to Bristol, not Willow.

But, since it is a conservative’s child, no matter the age, and namely, Sarah Palin’s daughter, well, it’s not big deal.
HornetSting on June 10, 2009 at 3:47 PM
Knowing that someone is lying for their political benefit is corrupt and certainly does not get liberals off the hook in their selective outrage concerning gay marriage.
As popular as Obama is,the gay marriage movement could definitely use an endorsement from Hillary,Kerry,and Biden also.
There pass on Obama and friends is because they will not expose or threaten anybody that shares their political goals,no matter how ignorant and bigoted they are.
No different than liberals having no problem with Obama using all the policies of the Bush administration that they wanted him tried for war crimes on but under Obama,are considered “smart power”.
Liberals show time and again that everything is about their ideology, politics and they will use everything they can to gain political power.
This includes their faux outrage and selective moralism of comments and events that are only offensive if it is perpetrated by Republicans or Christians.
Lying or not,it is full of sh!t and they should be slammed to the ground with it.

I’m not looking for flowery love on HA’s blog. I’ve been here long enough not to expect that. I just think it ridiculous that people complain about something Letterman does and then do the same.
No, I’m not trying to be O’Reilly and you don’t need the left leaning state on your side for a boycott, the dollar still has some clout.
And If I’m the bottom of the barrel it would be the barrel from a registration or two ago. I come often and comment rarely. Wonder why?? I think Ed, Allah, and Michelle would agree that using HA’s blog to spew hate speech onto Obama’s children is the bottom of the barrel.
And why is it that everyone who disagrees and might even have some common sense is a troll? A few people say its not a good idea to use this incident to call Contessa four letter words that denigrate women or talk like that about Obama’s kids and they’re “trolls”.

lame: The “joke” was not about ‘A-Rod’ but a thinly-disguised juvenile and sick attack on Palin AND HER FAMILY
your comment was no “educated guess”, but a morally bankrupt defense of a POS.

Yes, the racial aspect would cause an uproar. But, if you attack a white person, no biggie.
Very nice, brooks. Good point.

If she’s “slutty”, why involve her child at all? It was a smear against her, and her entire family. He’s down in the ratings and needs some controversy. Imagine, a scumbag like that exploiting a decent woman and her children for mere money. Naw, I’m sure it was all a mistake.
littleguy on June 10, 2009 at 3:49 PM
You’re probably right. And if that were the case, many people here would be saying that Letterman didn’t intend to tell a “rape” joke.

Tell ya what…..don’t be telling people here what they would or would not say. YOU don’t know, you can’t know, so don’t presume to.

Something to add to that also is the fact that Palin was in NY to help with fighting autism.
liberals response to someone trying to help fight a major health problem is to call them “sluts” and joke about their children being “raped”.
How progressive!!!!!!!!!

I’m glad you have a direct mind link to what Letterman ‘meant’ to say, YYZ. Must be a boring, if not stupid, pipeline.
Letterman knew what he was saying, he is just a liberal pig that knows he will not be attacked for his stupidity.
HornetSting on June 10, 2009 at 3:57 PM
He wouldn’t, but let’s play along. Suppose he said those things about Obama’s wife and children — he’d be fired… and possibly murdered.
littleguy on June 10, 2009 at 3:58 PM
well, I guess it’s an improvement over “storming their houses, dragging them into the streets and stoning them to death”(don’t have the exact quote)
Fighton03 on June 10, 2009 at 3:58 PM
I believe that was Alec Baldwin talking about killing Republicans.
Baxter Greene on June 10, 2009 at 4:01 PM
She was ready to cry! Whaaaaaaaa!!!! LOL!!!!!

Libs can’t stand it when you don’t play the game by their rules. Contessa didn’t get her way so she took the ball and went home. ROTFLMAO
diogenes on June 10, 2009 at 4:02 PM
I was honestly shocked when she asked Ziegler what it was that Letterman had said that bothered Palin…….like she needed an explanation??????? Sheesh! How did she keep a straight face when she asked him that question???
gocatholic on June 10, 2009 at 4:03 PM
I was just mentioning a typical progressive response to the GOP, not commenting on the irony you noted.
Fighton03 on June 10, 2009 at 4:04 PM
Don Imus called out Contessa Brewer some years ago on his televised radio program, recognizing her as the humorless empty skirt she actually is. He did it on the air when he was on MNSBC, and she left in a huff and never came back. No loss, as far as he was concerned, or anyone else. Nice that she’s buried on the least-watched cable network in television, which is the perfect place for idiocy.

Your right. It was Alec Baldwin, he could have been talking about his daughter or Republicans its hard to tell.
portlandon on June 10, 2009 at 4:05 PM
The term c*nt comes to mind.
Talk about hostile!
gdonovan on June 10, 2009 at 4:06 PM
Let me get this right, Letterman joked about Palin’s 14 year old daughter getting knocked up at the baseball game by one of the adult players? Why wouldn’t it be ok to make that same joke about BO’s daughters? I mean, “…it’s just a joke”

Any validity to your points is completely lost in your smug, superior attitude. But thanks for presenting yourself as the conscience of HotAir. I didn’t even know they were hiring.
SKYFOX on June 10, 2009 at 4:07 PM
Who the hell is Contessa Brewer?
d1carter on June 10, 2009 at 4:07 PM
He was talking about GOP supporters of the impeachment, and I believe part of the rant included dragging daughters(at least families) into the street…..
Fighton03 on June 10, 2009 at 4:11 PM
ok no kids this time…yet another teachable mpoment…
It was reported Michelle Obama was late for dinner last night with French President and Madame SarkoZEEE because she’d gotten confused by the bidet in her room. Secret Service agents worked an hour and a half to “de-booty” her!
HA, GET IT?!
See it’s not funny if you have a bellyfull of Obama-Aid..
max1 on June 10, 2009 at 4:11 PM
Sarah Palin doesn’t need anyone to stand up to these people for her. The GOP should, but she doesn’t need them too. She has more courage in her little toe then any male politician in Washington DC has in their whole body.
Susanboo on June 10, 2009 at 4:12 PM
LOL… thanks…
Now… getting Stoned with Gays…
(I’m a Libertarian…. LOL)
Romeo13 on June 10, 2009 at 4:12 PM
If this network had “any” viewers this would be worse. Letterman is a complete ass and the babe is also. I think the problem is that the libs are totally afraid of Palin and will go to any length to minimize her. That being said, Letterman should be fired. His stuff was much worse than anything Imus said.
duff65 on June 10, 2009 at 4:12 PM
Dang right, what we want here is an echo chamber just like the lefty’s have. Chastising those who act just like the lefty’s will not be tolerated. So, even though you agree with all conservative ideas, you must be berated until you leave by those who have been here longer and have earned their chops, just like a union.
But you see, uncouth righty’s have the right-away here. Its our version of the Obama way. Or is that the Chicago way? I have trouble telling the difference.
Love it, or leave it. Lord knows they have been going after Allah for quite a while now.
cozmo on June 10, 2009 at 4:12 PM
normally I would suggest that there is nothing funny about MO, but I’m still smirking.
