We live in a country where the comedians and artists are held more accountable for their actions...

than those elected to govern.

2. There is a reason for that

The comedians and artists are far better at their jobs than the politicians, for the most part. We expect more from them, and we usually get it.

8. Incompetence as an excuse. Interesting.

3. When the law-makers go after the non-law-makers

it's not too surprising that the law-makers win. (The laws ... that they've made ... are on their side)

When the public doesn't think anything's wrong with what our law-makers are banning (for others) or getting away with (themselves) that's what surprises me.

Our current office-holders stink to high heaven.

But who put them there?

And how many of those STILL approve of the results?

20+ years of Fox, hate-radio, and the mega-churches have infected the U.S. population to the core.

7. Yup - conservatism is a virus that consumes everything in its path.

And they want to destroy the only cure we have for it, which is education. We are heading for dark times.

5. Where was the outrage from these people when Sasha and Malia were potentially exposed to this

exact kind of thing for the last 8 years?? I don't agree with what Kathy Griffin did at all, but I sure as hell know these Repukes weren't feeling any type of way when it was Obama's effigy being hung...

9. And none of those burning effigies were a bad joke by a professional comedienne who went to far and

crossed a line in a shoot with an avant-garde photographer.
Nope.
They were meant as burning effigies with no apology given.

And let me tell you, great photographers can talk their models into anything, or out of anything, like their clothes...

[Duppers]

6. A.fuckin'.men!

Griffin is a shock jock type of comedian anyway. I'm surprised she's not been in trouble already.

But our lawmakers?! People have their values backwards. Who are the poor snowflakes, really?
