Duke lacrosse case flashback: Shameless protest moments
A little trip down memory lane (some links via Liestoppers):
Looks like I hit a little too close to home (MORE: LIKE, REALLY TOO CLOSE TO HOME)
It appears that my post yesterday about on the story about the possibility that female sperm could one day be created from women’s bone marrow, which would allow them to produce female offspring, ruffled the feathers of the Grand Dragon of Feministahood herself, Amanda Marcotte – she of Bloggergate infamy, who apparently has taken issue (ahem) with my description of lefty feminists as man-haters.
VIDEO: More from KC Star columnist Jason Whitlock on the Imus ‘scandal’ (ADDED:THE LATEST WHITLOCK COLUMN)
Yesterday in my general commentary post on the Imus scandal and the dropped charges against the Duke lacrosse players, I referenced a column from Jason Whitlock, who writes for the Kansas City Star, who I think nailed the REAL problem that has come out of the Imus/Rutgers ‘controversy’, and that is, that the real bad guy in all this isn’t Don Imus but instead “gangster culture.”
Keith Olbermann – Outta control
In his continuing successful efforts to pander to the Nutroots for ratings (something he hilariously denies doing), Keith Olbermann’s latest target is – like most of the people he picks on – an undeserving one, but the significance of his latest target is that she’s not a pundit, but a mainstream media reporter for Time magazine. Specifically, she’s Time’s National Political Correspondent and her name is Karen Tumulty. What was her sin? Criticizing Hillary Clinton’s lame attempt at pandering to the black vote during the Imus/Rutgers hysteria. Tumulty writes:
Well wishes to NJ Gov. Jon Corzine
He’s in critical condition after he was injued in a hit and run accident last night while on his way to the Governor’s mansion to attend the meeting between Don Imus and the Rutgers women’s basketball team.
