'Slut': What's in a name?

By Thomas Lifson

I love it when media leftists make themselves look ridiculous defending their own, caught in misbehavior. The latest example, CNN's Randi Kaye, actually defending Ed Schultz's vile slander of Laura Ingraham as a "slut." She actually defended him by saying, "...there are mixed interpretations about the word."

Really? Outside of drunken fraternity boys, I can't think of many people who hold positive interpretations of the word.

CNN's Howard Kurtz is to be congratulated for his handling of this interview, though an outright burst into laughter might have been appropriate. The invaluable Media Research Center has the details here. You can w atch the encounter there, while you try to think of "mixed interpretations" for other terms, such as "jerk," "idiot," and "ridiculous."
