It's comon place but on a 'reputable' news station is not the place for that type of comment. Save that for out and about with your friends.


Hmmmm...sounds like a setup for When "Keepin' it real" Goes Wrong.

From one of the linked news stories:
"Politico cites a Fox staffer as saying that others internally were bothered by the use of the offensive epithet - derogatory hip-hop slang for "the mother of your child(ren), whom you did not marry and with whom you are not currently involved", according to the Urban Dictionary."

And it seems as if this is just the start of what maybe multi-pronged effort by the GOP, and operatives, against the Obama's:
Michelle Obama becomes GOP target
