MSNBC Talk Show Host Michael Savage on Ashleigh Banfield: “The mind-slut with a big pair of glasses that they sent to Afghanistan.”

Ashleigh Banfield: “He was so taken aback by my daring to speak to martyrs … for being prepared to sacrifice themselves, he chose to label me a slut on the air, and that’s not all, as a porn star and an accessory to the murder of Jewish children. These are the ramifications for simply bringing the message in the Arab world.”

NBC’s official response: “Ms. Banfield does not speak for NBC News. We are deeply disappointed and troubled by her remarks, and will review her comments with her. In the meantime, we want to emphasize how proud we are of the journalism produced by NBC News and of the men and women who worked around the clock, even risking their lives, to bring this story to the American public.”

Oh Snap?
