As pretty well the whole world knows now, NBC is a corporation bursting at the seams with misogyny. So are you surprised to discover that NBC's quest to promote sexism is on display in the nation's airports?
Apparently, CNBC stores -- like this one at Reagan National Airport in Washington, DC. -- are where you need to go to purchase sexist jokes like "Hillary Nutcrackers." Is there an adult sign on this store? Because I seriously doubt that parents relish the thought of explaining the "Hillary Nutcracker" to their daughters and sons.
Can racists find their toys at NBC stores too? Is NBC an equal opportunity hater?

I just got back from a vacation, and I had a layover in Washington, DC. Across from where I sat lay the CNBC store, proudly sporting that NBC peacock we've come to know so well. . . I wandered over to grab a newspaper or a magazine, and this is what I found in the center of the store, facing outward from the cash register. Did you get it? Did you get the joke? Because strong women hate penises. Strong women want to "bust men's balls" because let's face it, they're envious of our balls. They are all, you know, menopausal and uptight. And we dudes, we're just hanging out, when they come around cracking our nuts...
Because, you know, male power is natural, but female power is a pathology. Always.
That's why a major news outlet can sell a novelty item where a female presidential candidate cracks nuts with her "stainless steel thighs". Is there some way to apply pressure to CNBC to stop selling this misogynist crap? If you have any ideas, leave them in the comments.
And check out the 'ouch' video in the comments at Mike's blog.

Meanwhile, the MSNBC crew have been taking hateful cracks at Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton all morning. Oh yeah, today is the long awaited Democratic primary in Indiana and North Carolina. Whatever will the whining Hillary Hating Network do if Hillary wins?

Update via Taylor Marsh: When asked by another audience member how he would respond to the claim that MSNBC officially supports Obama, Matthews responded with typical Hardball wit, “Well, it’s not official.”
