Quick, somebody get this clip to McCain campaign adviser Carly Fiorina, who just last month claimed that John "How do we beat the bitch?" McCain and his conservative cronies never subjected Hillary Clinton to sexism.

As you can see, the Fox and Friends crew is more than happy to air controversial Reuters photos of Sarah Palin's legs, while debating whether or not the images are inappropriate.  (News flash: FOX's Michelle Malkin says they're more "cliched" than inappropriate  -- big surprise, given FOX's low low low standards of decency.)   But then, FOX stooge Greg Gutfeld uses this opportunity to attack Hillary Clinton: "Now if this was Hillary Clinton, you wouldn’t be able to see the guy’s face...I couldn’t resist it!” 

Gutfeld puts the "ass" back in "classy."
