Bashir All But Tells John Boehner to ‘Go the F*** to Sleep’

Alex Fitzsimmons at NewsBusters.org:

Bashir used “Go the F*** to Sleep,” a new children’s book written for adults about the difficulties of parenting, to set up his attack: “Mr. Boehner goes on, singing his nursery rhyme of more cuts, no taxes, of Cut, Cap, and Balance, of cut this, cut that, and don’t you dare raise revenues. I’ve been thinking, maybe it’s time for Mr. Boehner to hand over responsibility to Harry Reid and the president and for himself to go off to sleep.”

At the conclusion of his daily “Clear the Air” segment, Bashir turned the keys over to the 4 p.m. Eastern host, Dylan Ratigan, who, before starting his show, egged on the former ABC “Nightline” anchor to “just come out and say it!”

“I can’t use expletives on air, as you know,” replied Bashir.

Clearly Republican toxic rhetoric is just infecting Bashir. You can’t really blame him.
