After Martin Bashir said someone should defecate in Sarah Palin’s mouth, he was even too toxic for MSNBC. Not CBS apparently, as Martin Bashir appeared on liberal propaganda show Madame Secretary.
Martin Bashir, infamous for charging that Sarah Palin deserved to be punished by having someone defecate into her mouth, a vile diatribe which forced him off of MSNBC in late 2013, popped up — for a mere three seconds — on this past Sunday’s episode of CBS’s Madame Secretary. His role didn’t take much of a stretch: He played a cable TV news host whose show could be seen on a wall-mounted television in the background during a scene set in a restaurant.
The CBS series revolves around Tèa Leoni as “Secretary of State Elizabeth McCord.” In the scene which included Bashir, Tim Daly, the Secretary’s husband “Henry McCord,” a religion professor at Georgetown University, is meeting their teen daughter, Wallis Currie-Wood as college drop-out “Stephanie ‘Stevie’ McCord.” You can hear Bashir ask on the March 1 prime time program: “The micro-loans program should actually be canceled?” That’s a reference to the episode’s main plot about the fall-out caused by a State Department official embezzling from the program championed by the Secretary of State.
