I Laughed at Pelosi & Reid's expense:

NY Post sports pages today:

CBS TV Golf analyst David Feherety was forced to apologize for making a joke to make a point; one that nobody even heard that appeared in a local Dallas magazine.

Faherty has been to Iraq the past two Thanksgivings and he created a foundation to help woulnded soldiers.

This is what he said in the magazine:

"From my own experience visiting the troops in the Middle East I can tell you this … Despite how the conflict has been protrayed by our glorious media, if you gave any US soldier a gun with two bullets in it, and he found himself in an elevator with Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and Osama bin Laden, there’s a good chance that Nancy Pelosi would get shot twice, and Harry Reid and bin Laden would be strangled to death".

I for one think his joke was pretty darn funny !

Feherety came under criticism and came out with a real and legit apology for insulting Pelosi and Reid. Not sure it was warranted, but I guess he needed to avoid a liberal boycott of CBS golf. Golf has enough problems with the Dems questioning corporate sponsorships of events as it is.

Contrast this episode to Wanda Sykes using a national TV platform following Obama to call Rush Limbaugh a traitor and wish that he die a horrible death from kidney failure. Did anyone ask Wanda to apologize ? Will she do so on her own. Don't hold your breath.

Just another media double standard example. And Feherty's joke was actually funny. Sykes just sounded petty and stupid (some of her earlier material was funny; the Limbaugh stuff was just crass).
