Hilary Rosen is now at the center of a firestorm after commenting on CNN last night that Ann Romney, "never worked a day in her life." On Twitter last night,Rosen doubled down on her attacks even as key members of the Obama campaign asked her to apologize.
After combing through her history of political punditry, however, it appears that Rosen rarely thinks that any attack made by a liberal or a Democrat is unfair - not even a tasteless joke from liberal comedian Wanda Sykes.
Sykes suggested that Rush Limbaugh was the "20th hijacker" on 9/11 but missed the plane because he was "just so strung out on Oxycontin, he missed his flight."
Rosen was asked about the joke by Larry King on a CNN slot that aired May 10, 2009.
KING: Hilary Rosen, I know you're not a fan of Rush Limbaugh, but was that over the line?
ROSEN: You know, Rush Limbaugh gets by on theater, and when anyone holds him accountable for his words, when he says things like "I want this administration to fail and I'm proud of it," when he makes money of politicians, his defense is always, "Listen, you know, I'm as much entertainment as I am substance." Wanda Sykes, hitting right back in entertainment. I think it's fair game.
