I’m pretty sure that every feminista within the borders of the US would pull my woman card for this. But I don’t care. Maybe it’s because I’m too old to give a rip about feminism anymore. Or maybe it’s because it was fun to see an anchor at CNN flummoxed and speechless.
But I laughed at this exchange between sports radio talker Clay Travis and a CNN anchorette. I mean I. Laughed. Hard. And then I called my husband in to watch this, and we both howled.
The topic was the controversy that erupted when ESPN announcer Jemele Hill called President Trump a “white supremacist.” However, that issue was completely lost when Clay Travis said he loved the First Amendment. And boobs. Yes, he said “boobs.” CNN anchor Brooke Baldwin gasped with horror. And Travis repeated it over, and over, and over.
But Clay Travis is shameless. He’s continuing his First A and Boobs Tour on Fox News on Saturday night, and claimed that even CNN wants him back on Monday. Maybe CNN thinks they can make ratings hay out of pearl-clutching outrage.
Meanwhile, as I write this, Twitter is trending with the hashtag #BoobASong. It’s hard to keep, uh, abreast of the newest contributions.
And poor Brooke Baldwin? Well, after recovering from the vapors, she huffed that what Clay Travis said is “never okay.”
That was… I just… it was one of those thought bubbles "did he actually say that on MY SHOW?!" Note to men — that is never okay. #smh

Hey, Brooke, spare me the outrage. Isn’t this you, Ms. Oh-So-Pure? “I love you Kathy!”
On top of that, perpetual race-baiter Tariq Nasheed claimed that Travis’s “stunt” on CNN was a racist tactic, or something.
That stunt that Clay Travis pulled on CNN is a tactic commonly used by white extremists .They will troll in order to get their numbers up

Oh please. Just stop with the horse hockey. Right now I’m playing the world’s smallest violin over this liberal indignation. We all desperately need to laugh once again. And I’m still snickering over Clay Travis. He said ‘boobs.’
I’m just an Australian spectator here, and we are neither couth nor eloquent so I thought it was bloody hilarious. I’d much rather have a beer and a laugh with him than share an angsty latte with the other two.
Boobs got my attention, I’m a guy, but horse hockey?
I’ve never heard that expression before. It’s hilarious.
Just the image of horses on skates trying to play hockey.
I’m a Canadian who grew up around both horses and hockey. It’s a keeper.
Come on , Kevin, watching reruns of MASH, you had to have that one…:)
CNN is the network that gave us “teabagging”. Stop your pearl clutching CNN. This guy has said this before – many times! I would love to hear what was being said in the control booth.
big fan of boobs since I was a baby and more every day
maybe brooke’s aren’t nice enough
The Cleavage News Network?
CNN is Fake Boobs.
With all their pearl-clutching and swooning on the fainting couch, did the spazoids ask Don for a comment on her rack?
Now as a man, i’m not sure, but it would seem to me that as a woman, (one who has boobs) would you not appreciate the fact that men / a man would like said boobs? just seems logical to me…
