Arianna, AOL, and Al: 'Punk Faggot' Scandal Spreads

AOL, Huffington dumped Rush but act as radio content provider for controversial Sharpton.

They're tighter than a tied turkey.

Did you know that?

Arianna Huffington.

AOL.

The Reverend Al Sharpton.

The first two partner with a third. Radio One, which owns NewsOne. NewsOne, being home base for the Reverend Al's radio show. Which in turn… ahhhh, patience.

Safe to say between the three -- AOL, Arianna, and Al --there's enough hypocrisy to choke the entire field of horses in the next Kentucky Derby.

You saw all this foo-foo, right?

The haughty statement on Rush Limbaugh issued by AOL and published by its partner in the AOL Huffington Post Media Group? This statement:

"At AOL one of our core values is that we act with integrity," said Maureen Sullivan, an AOL spokeswoman who confirmed the decision. "We have monitored the unfolding events and have determined that Mr. Limbaugh's comments are not in line with our values. As a result we have made the decision to suspend advertising on The Rush Limbaugh Radio show."

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh really?

AOL's "core values" were at stake. AOL must "act with integrity." AOL has determined that a poor choice of words by Rush Limbaugh, his apology notwithstanding, "are not in line with our values."

And so, with as much ostentatious banging of the media drums as they could muster, AOL "made the decision to suspend advertising on The Rush Limbaugh Radio show."

Core values? Integrity?

Seriously?
