CNN Reporter Dana Bash Laughs as Kathy Griffin Calls Scott Brown's Daughters 'Prostitutes'

Newsbusters has the story:

On her Bravo TV show Tuesday night, left-wing comedian Kathy Griffin referred to Sen. Scott Brown’s two daughters as “prostitutes,” and a CNN reporter apparently thought it hysterical. [Audio available here.]

Griffin, who was readying herself for a trip to Washington, DC to rally and drum up support for a repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” brought CNN reporters (husband and wife) Dana Bash and John King onto the show to “coach” her for handling Washington. Bash is a congressional correspondent for CNN, while King anchors the news hour “John King, USA.”

When the couple showed Griffin a picture of Sen. Scott Brown and asked her to identify the figure, she responded “Scott Brown – who is a senator from Massachusetts, and has two daughters that are prostitutes.”

Bash erupted with laughter, while King grimaced.

This is who we are fighting, and this is how they fight.

Unfunny celebrities (Scott Brown’s daughters are prostitutes! Har har har!) are taken seriously and granted credibility by members of the mainstream media. When the celebrity, who has had a career resurgence doubling as an activist, ridicules a sitting Republican Senator with a sexual joke at the expense of his family, the media personalities not only affirm that the joke is kosher, but that it’s flat out hilarious! Now the celebrity/activist’s hate is validated with CNN’s seal of approval and the journalists punch their Cool Kid Tickets.

Alinsky said “ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. It is almost impossible to counteract ridicule. ” You see how this works?
