WASHINGTON - Two Washington Post journalists are apologizing and their satirical online video series has been canceled following criticism of a joke they told about Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Post executive editor Marcus Brauchli killed the “Mouthpiece Theater’’ series Wednesday after pulling the latest episode from the paper’s website last Friday.
In the video, columnist Dana Milbank and White House correspondent and blogger Chris Cillizza appeared in smoking jackets to discuss the kinds of beer politicians might drink. Milbank makes a crack about a fictional brand of beer with an epithet referring to women, and the line was followed by a brief picture of Clinton. The group Women, Action and the Media complained to the Post in a letter.
“I regret that we put up that image,’’ Milbank said, “and while I highly doubt the secretary of state has seen ‘Mouthpiece Theater,’ I would be honored to have the opportunity to apologize to her over a beer.’’

See for yourself:
You know, they may have a point there.
Just wondering why they didn't criticize the shot at Sarah Palin.
Well, actually.... Slow Saturday Special: Taking Shots at Sarah
