locker-room language is still rampant on our airwaves and elsewhere but should never be allowed to go unchecked. I was watching Bill Maher the other night and P. J. O'Rourke said something to the effect that what Ann Coulter says at 3 in the afternoon on TV, piped into millions of viewers living rooms, is language I (O'Rourke) would use in the middle of the night, at 3am, while I was roaring drunk.
In other words, this pattern of inconsiderate thought should be kept to one's self. This type of bad behavior by anchors, writers, pundits or any, who supposedly represent segments of we-the-people, should never be deemed as normal conduct.
 DAVID SHUSTER, should have known better when that misogynist thought popped into his locker-room head. The fact that he ran with it, speaks volumes about our society's inability to consider all people equal, regardless of their political, racial, gender, sexual or religious differences from ourselves.

I was personally surprised when Shuster came out with this ridiculous comment. He is generally a very good reporter, and he has been very supportive of the Clinton campaign. I do not believe he deliberately meant to demean anyone, but it is just another example of how lax the media, and society in general, have become in not thinking before they speak.
