what if a conservative said these thing sns. you re absolutely right. if we were in a rational world, sean, you and i would be talking about a company that s subjected to a cyber attack. but we don t live in a rational world. we live in a world where donald sterling was taped making private conversations not dissimilar to the remarks that amy pascal has made and he lost his team. i m not sure why the same thing ought not apply here. you have a woman who s not only ridiculing the president, she s ridiculing important black movies like 12 years a slave, like the butler, like the help, why isn t that deemed racist? why isn t she losing her job? if this were a fair world and if amy pascal were a republican, she couldn t leave her house. would larry lose his job? would rush and glenn and mark lose their jobs? would don imus lose his job if it was him that said something similar? i don t think so. oh, wrong. something similar about some

rubbing elbows with president obama for years, making millions in fundraising dollars for him. now, a major plot twist. one of hollywood s biggest players, sony exec amy pascal forced to apologize for racially charged jokes she wrote about the president, e-mails made public by hackers. in one e-mail to producer scott rudin, despite being a prominent obama supporter, insinuates obama only likes films with black actors, like django unchained. pascal, shortly before attending an event with the president wrote, should i ask him if he liked django and rudin wrote 12 years and she wrote back, the butler ? she takes full
