This weekend was the annual joke edition on Prairie Home Companion with uber liberal, Garrison Keillor. On the show, they ripped blondes, Catholics, Lutherans, priests, alcoholics, the disabled and just about everyone else except Muslims.
Now, if a conservative, such as Rush Limbaugh, Rick Santorum, George W. Bush, Bill O'Reilley or myself told these jokes, we would have been ripped (yeah, I'm thinking of one blogger who rips me).
If a television show would have run these jokes, the television show producers would have been forced to apologize.
But because Keillor is a liberal, he is given a pass.
What a bunch of liberal hypocrisy. But yes, most of the jokes were quite funny, especially the blonde and nun jokes.

A lot of it has to do with a perceived absence of malice fro PHC. It's gentle, nudge-nudge, wink-wink humor. Rush comes off as mean. Big difference.
