Breaking: WaPo pulls Mouthpiece Theater after mad bitch “joke”

From Talking Points Memo:

Remember how last week, in an episode of the much-derided web series Mouthpiece Theater, Washington Post reporters Dana Milbank and Chris Cillizza joked that “Mad Bitch” beer would be an appropriate beverage for Secretary of State Hillary Clinton? Well, after TPMDC’s initial report on the episode, the Post has killed the feature entirely.
“I don’t think the series worked as they intended,” said Post Executive Editor Marcus Brauchli. “It was meant to be funny and insightful and translate the superb journalism Chris and Dana do in print and online into a new format.”
But…it wasn’t. The Clinton joke, he said, was “a serious lapse. . . . It’s really beneath us and not something we should engage in.”

Cillizza says at the end of the day the show “wasn’t funny.” I couldn’t agree more.
