Freak Of The Week

The president of the Catholic League, William Donohue says on the radio (7:34):
"Just imagine if a white guy is performing oral sex on a statue of Martin Luther King with an erection. Do you need to see it to know it's ugly?"
This is the man who the American media invited all over television and on to the pages of the major newspapers yesterday to breathlessly complain about the offensive, bigoted language of the Edwards bloggers.
Is it really too much to ask that when the media gets a nasty, tabloid tid-bit from the rightwing character assisins that they at least find a religious spokesperson who isn't guilty of the thing of which they are accusing Democrats?
Why is it that so many of the rightwing scolds turn out to be closeted gays, or crooks or vulgar racial bigots themselves? Maybe the media ought to take it on faith that when one of these accusers turns up feverishly clutching his pearls about the offensivness of liberals that they should investigate them for the real story. It's always much juicier.
