Mark Levin uses "dwarf" to humiliate politician

 

I have been listening to radio host Mark Levin this evening on WABC 770.    He made the following comment "I have called Barbara Boxer a dwarf....Dick Durbin "little" Dick Durbin...  as a way to humiliate them because they deserve it. I don;t find them very honorable."

Is he somehow saying that calling someone a dwarf is humiliating because dwarves are somehow inferior?    If not, what else could he have meant?

I heard it and it isn't the first time this man has said it.  He doesn't seem to think little people deserve respect I guess!

CSI takes a stab at short men

   I was watching the beginning of a CSI episode tonight entitled "Wild Life" which had originally aired on November 18th, 2010.  The episode began with two girls walking down the street in Las Vegas, complaining about their love lives and how they couldn't find a good man.  As usual, they had to throw in a complaint about short men.. The tail end of their complaint is in the attached link (at the beginning of the clip).  They had a couple more derogatory words about short men before what you will see here.  Something like "What was with all the short men?"

   Why did this not surprise me?  CSI has engaged in this same short men bashing in the past when some female characters were talking about a dating service and said that "the short, fat and bald need not apply".    Here is the clip of the Nov 2010 episode....

If I were 6'4"...

If I were six feet four
I wouldn't need to have class;
I would get paid alot more
Just to sit on my ass.

I wouldn't have to work
Or do a damn thing;
I could act like a jerk
And my phone would still ring.

I would always be the flirt
And the ladies wouldn't mind
If I treated them all like dirt
Or left them far behind.

But lo, I am short in stature
And don't look quite my age;
My hard work doesn't matter,
I make a lousy wage.

The ladies won't come near me,
They say that I'm too small;
But rather they mock and jeer me,
They wouldn't if I was tall.

So, don't grade me on a curve
Or judge by the height you see;
Just give me the respect I deserve
Cause human I'll always be.
