Oh I luv how the Liberal media is attacking Brent Musburger...But when Kathy Griffin was simulating oral sex on Anderson Cooper that was no big deal...Liberal hypocrisy and feminism gone amok

Brent was a little creepy during the game, but so what? Is that worse than Kathy Griffin? No. One was a little creepy, the other was just vulgar. Very hypocritical. But, this isn't a condition of the left or right - it is one of both as it is a human condition. People are naturally hypocrites, we just pick which areas, in our lives, we can best live with when doing so.

God forbid a man say a woman is attractive. Liberal media, who promote sex and trash, go nuts. Yet they say nothing about commercials for violent, sexual, etc shows that appear during these games.

Yhere was nothing wrong what he said and those who say they're offended or its creepy are hypocrites to put it lightly.

All he did is comment on her beauty. Nothing wrong with what he said, nothing vulgar. Imo, complainers are those who hunt for whatever can possibly be construed as politically incorrect. I doubt the woman objected to being called beautiful.

Default He spoke truth

He made an accurate comment. I do not see what is the problem.

Since when is the NYT liberal?

Musburger may be an idiot but he did nothing offensive.

How ironic that liberals are coming to the rescue of a conservative southern woman, normally she would be the focus of their bigoted attacks.

That's how the radical right wing mind works.

Anything even remotely sexual = evil! terrible! anti-jesus! get out the pitchforks and torches!

Over the top killing and violence = good wholesome family entertainment.

This country has become feminized. His comments were harmless. Before he even said anything I was like wow she's beautiful. He was just vocalizing what many men and even some women were thinking. If he made the same comments about a guy the media wouldn't say a word.
