I was thinking about Chelsea Clinton. I have a feeling many of those currently crying FOUL were guilty of making jokes about Chelsea. Probably got a big yuk-yuk about it as they stood around their pick-ups adorned with mudflaps depicting an overly-endowed woman silhouette in shiny chrome.

How must that have felt to a pre-teen/teenage girl? Would you want someone to hurt your daughter like that?

A great man once called it "selective outrage."

edit: no it's not right in any case. It happens. My point is the selective outrage. Just like Palin, it only upsets you if by yelling you seem righteous and good, and your feigned anger propels your agenda.
