The Huffington Post’s Shannyn Moore has created this clever top-10 list of the worst sex jokes hurled at Sarah Palin and her daughters since last year’s presidential campaign. The list, which includes jokes made by Conan O’Brien, Saturday Night Live, and Craig Ferguson, is hard to stomach. The A Rod thing is not the first sports-team rape joke in the bunch, is what I’m saying.

Moore’s point here is that “Sarah Palin’s “Outrage” is Misplaced and A Little Late,” since she’s seemingly ignored a host of inappropriate sexual jokes about her family (and other political families) before finally speaking out against Letterman. To me, Moore’s list proves that the outrage has been a long time coming.

In Howard Kurtz‘ column today, Arianna Huffington responded to this blog’s charges of sexism over the Huffington Post’s obsessive nipple-slip coverage. Kurtz’s column was published a full week after the City Paper contacted HuffPo on the nipple issue.

Huffington Post’s Vice President for Communications, Mario Ruiz, responded to my inquiry by copy-pasting Kurtz’ column into an e-mail, adding: “There’s nothing much we can add to what she already emailed Howie.”

Huffington to Kurtz:

I don’t think much of Sarah Palin as a feminist, but the Alaska Governor has emerged as an interesting figure in the movement for one reason: she has encouraged conservatives to unwittingly defend women’s rights, and liberals to deny them. This MSNBC clip, featuring the Huffington Post’s Katharine Zaleski and the Washington Times‘ Amanda Carpenter, is a perfect example.

My beef with HuffPo’s nipple slip coverage, Huffington Post: Liberal Politics, Sexist Entertainment, inspired a range of responses this week. One commenter was peeved that I appear to “take no joy” in my work—an assertion that I roundly deny. Another sees rogue nipples throughout HuffPo’s political coverage, as well: “They couldn’t find Hillary’s nipple, but they got as close as they could.” And the Huffington Post chimed in, too—though not about the nipple thing.

The best of the rest are after the jump.

Interesting juxtaposition we have on the Huffington Post today. First we have a blog post from Amy Siskind titled, “Sexism Against Conservative Women Is Still Sexism.” Siskind’s post admonishes liberals who will bring out the sexism when attacking conservative targets. See: David Letterman on Sarah Palin; Playboy’s “hate rape” list targeted at ten conservative women; everyone on Carrie Prejean.

Right on, Siskind. I’m right with you on that one!

Let’s see what popular story HuffPo invites you to go clicky-clicky on right next to Siskind’s post:

On Tuesday, I wrote a post criticizing the Huffington Post for espousing progressivism in its political coverage while exploiting women in its entertainment pages.

I’m still waiting to hear back from HuffPo on how ritual public outings of women whose clothing accidentally slips a couple centimeters keys into their liberal political identity—though it looks like somebody over there, at least, has read the piece. In the meantime, HuffPo continues to plug away at the nipple beat. Three stories on the Entertainment page today make news out of accidental nipple:

It’s no secret that The Huffington Post fancies itself a left-leaning Web rag. Wikipedia describes Arianna Huffington’s aggregatorial monster as “an American liberal news website.” Conservapedia’s definition, however, might be more helpful: “The site is an extreme mouthpiece for liberals,” it reads. “The Huffington Post calls itself an internet newspaper of blogs, news and video but often is referred to as a hate site where its one-sided news cannot be trusted.”

But even HuffPo’s liberal readership gets tired of hating on conservatives sometimes, guys. Sometimes, they just want to sit back, relax, and look at accidentally bare nipples—just like the rest of America. This one-sided liberal hate site has one fatal weakness—boobs. Let’s check out some recent stories from the Huffington Post’s entertainment section:

Naked Wizard Tased By Reality from Tracy Anderson on Vimeo.

Since Arthur Delaney has already produced the definitive narration of the Coachella tasered wizard video (above), I will take a page from the Huffington Post manual and aggregate his brilliant retelling here:

The police officers beg and plead for the man to put on his robes, but all the Naked Wizard wants to do is be free of his wizard sleeves and hang in the breeze. He throws his colorful garb onto the grass.

It’s April 16, which means we can all resume teabagging by putting balls in our mouths instead of protesting taxes or whatever Republican dudes who are not secretly self-hating homosexuals did yesterday.

But oh, it was funny while it lasted. Let’s relive the jokes, shall we?

Anderson Cooper: “It’s hard to talk when you’re teabagging.”

Rachel Maddow and Ana Marie Cox (haha, “Cox”).

If Natalie Portman were really young, bland, and hot, she’d be a MILF in the making

Last week, “Bonnie Fuller Media” founder Bonnie Fuller wrote an essay for the Huffington Post declaring, “It’s official! Age is irrelevant… when it comes to women and beauty that is.” Fuller then proceeds to write 700 words proving that age is still very much relevant when it comes to women and beauty.

How does Fuller manage to both disprove her own thesis while simultaneously marginalizing women of all ages? Let me count the ways!
