Reporter "accidentally" calls Hillary Clinton a dirty word.
I heard the audio of this on Howard Stern's show this morning. I didn't catch the name of the reporter or the station, and sadly I have yet to find a link (I'm still searching, maybe one of you can help me). Anyway, in a story on campaign fundraising, she referred to Senator Clinton as "Senator C---on." Plain as day. Like I need to tell you this, but the word I blocked out rhymes with "runt." Howard and the gang where aghast. There's no way that could have been an accident.

4. probably a dumb bimbo who just put the L and I together
and thought that's what it said

news-readers just read what they're told to, comprehension is entirely different matter

7. She probably calls her that off the air and got too comfortable and said
it by accident on air. I'm sure she has actually pronounced it that way in private.

8. That's what I'm thinking.

Still, how dumb can you get?

edit- my initial reaction was that she sounded a little too comfy saying it for it to be a complete accident.

9. Sexism happens. Misogyny happens. I bet Chris Dodd is never
called the equivalent male slang throughout this campaign.

I'm supporting another Democrat in the primary and any Democrat at all in the general. But it is disturbing to see intelligent, successful women belittled in the media.

Senator Clinton should not have to be victimized by others' xenophobia.

10. Oddly enough, it was a female reporter.
And I completely agree with you.

12. Yep. I've bumped into many women who are not fond of Senator
Clinton.

I wonder if that reporter would like being called that name herself.

I'm guessing she wouldn't.

I love your avatar.

My god that is beautiful.

16. Well they fined all the other reporters
why don't they go after her. Remember I think it was the other word for crap some body in the crowd said and they fined CBS. Of course, CBS at the time did report so of the republicans negativity, guess that's why.

18. And what might said "reporter " accidentally call Obama?
Nevermind. I don't want to know.

If they say it in public, they use it in private
