Reply #14: "Phony outrage" is all it is [View All]

[gratuitous]

Odd, though, that they're getting less and less bang for their phony buck on this kind of crap. Remember how distressed everyone was in 2004 when Jon Edwards had the audacity to mention Dick Cheney's lesbian daughter during the vice presidential debate? Cheney murmured his appreciation for Edwards' sensitivity, but boy oh boy did the right wing get all up in there manufacturing outrage like cheap t-shirts in Saipan.

Nowadays, the popular media seem just a smidgen more discerning (Faux notwithstanding), and the Mighty Republican Wurlitzer doesn't have quite so many voices in the chorus.
