GOP Operative Alex Castellanos: It’s OK to Call Some Women Bitches - Crooks and Liars



If anyone wonders why Hillary supporters are upset over the coverage on TV and in the media just check out Alex.

CASTELLANOS: “Her problem is she’s Hillary Clinton. And some women, by the way, are named that [bitches] and it’s accurate.”

During CNN’s primary coverage last night, a segment was about Sen. Clinton discussing the media’s acceptance of misogyny into their coverage. Wolf called her words “provocative” as the panel begins to debate it. Later he says it’s a little more difficult to discern than racism. Jeffrey Toobin makes some valid points about a NY Times article which referred to her as a “white bitch,” (hello Wolf) saying that you can’t say something like that about an African American. Not so for Republican Alex Castellanos, who not only disagrees, but thinks she is a “bitch” and says so with smile in his heart. Why does he have a seat with “the best political team” in America? Because he makes disgusting Republican attack ads. Being a distributor of slime in American politics really pays off. I’m sorry, he should be fired on the spot by CNN. What can I call John McCain now? Is it OK to call him pr*&k on TV? Is that OK? “Hi, I’m Wolf Blitzer and John McCain is a pr*&k. We’ll have that scoop and much, much more as the best political team in America continues right after the break.

And to see Borger and Brazile—sitting there trying to have a rational discussion after he says the things that he does is just as ludicrous. Borger’s retort is to say that a lot of voters don’t feel that way and Donna mildly says Alex has a problem with her. I mean, really. What does he have to do to offend them?
