I would love to here how this conversation would go if Mitch McConnel had said it "in context"

Howard Stern does it all of the time. However, Howard Stern has way more street cred than Mitch McConnell so I doubt Mitch could get away with it in any context.

Apples and oranges. Howard Stern is a huge liberal, and not a politician. He gets paid to say inappropriate things.

 

Let me change that from Mitch to any conservative.

I'll disagree slightly with my man. I'd let Sen McConnell say it the exact same way as the President did. If he is not saying it with the intent of demeaning one or hurting one then he, too, gets a pass.
