Via TPM, the Washington Post has pulled yesterday's "Mouthpiece" video in which Dana Milbank suggested Secretary of State Clinton would drink "Mad Bitch" beer.

Says Kris Coratti, Director of Communications at the Post: "The video was a satirical piece that lampooned people of all stripes. There was a section of the video that went too far, so we have removed the piece from our website."

Right. Now don't do it again...an apology doesn't get you off scot free. We're watching you, Dana Milbank.

Fun Twitter activism associated with this story: feminists on Twitter tweet-bombed the two hosts, @milbank and @thefix, reminders that sexism isn't funny.

Feminists, however, ARE funny - @MyrnatheMinx started a #milbankbeer contest to come up with a perfect beer for the offensive funnyman. Top (real beer!) picks:

1. Seriously Bad Elf
2. Pastey White Boy Prohibition Style Ale
3. Blithering Idiot Barley Wine
4. Big Jerk Stout

And, fake twitter #milbankbeer fave: Pale Male Fail Ale!
