It’s been more than a week since right-wing radio host Mark Levin ranted at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce for its endorsement of Democratic Sen. Mary Landrieu: “You lie down with whores like this and you become one.” That means he was effectively calling Landrieu a whore as well.
You’d think that the Media Research Center, which has a business relationship with Levin, would say something. But it hasn’t — just like it didn’t when Levin went on a bizarre rant against Jon Stewart, declaring that “I don’t trust Jews who change their names.”
Perhaps that business relationship has a clause in which the MRC is to ignore Levin’s rants, no matter how offensive. After all, this is the same organization that reacted to Rush Limbaugh’s misogynistic tirade against Sandra Fluke by starting an “I Stand With Rush” fan page and calling Limbaugh’s denigration of Fluke as a “slut” and “prostitute” merely a “regrettable blunder.”
Perhaps Brent Bozell and the crew really do believe Landrieu is a whore. After all, they had no problem believing Fluke was a slut.
