Sarah Palin comments and resignation from MSNBC
On November 15, 2013, Bashir criticized Sarah Palin for comments that she made comparing the Federal debt to slavery.[13] Bashir attempted to counter Palin's comparison by referencing the cruel and barbaric punishment of slaves described by slave overseer Thomas Thistlewood, specifically a punishment called "Derby's dose" which involved forcing slaves to defecate or urinate into the mouth of another slave as punishment. Bashir then concluded by saying "When Mrs. Palin invokes slavery, she doesn’t just prove her rank ignorance. She confirms if anyone truly qualified for a dose of discipline from Thomas Thistlewood, she would be the outstanding candidate."
It is said Thistle invented this form of punishment...sick.
