We likeInstant CongressUpcoming eventsWords to live byBecause our cultural mirror is cruel: "Maybe this all seems funny, or trivial, but it's really not. It's about what girls want to be, what they're told they should be, and how they feel about who they are. . . I don't want them to be empty-headed, self-obsessed, emaciated clones; I'd rather they be independent, interesting, idealistic, kind, opinionated, original, funny -- a thousand things before 'thin.' I'd rather they didn't give a gust of stinking chihuahua flatulence whether the woman standing next to them has fleshier knees than they do. Let my girls be Hermiones, rather than Pansy Parkinsons.

Great catch on this, Liza!
Great catch on this, Liza! I've been bothered by this -- and by Gergen, too, by the way -- back when the Wright "issue" came out, and how Obama was going to have to "address" it. "We're shocked -- shocked! -- that Barack Obama is black and goes to a black church! He's going to have to explain this!"
Similarly hateful remarks by other preachers, including Falwell, have been ignored in the press. A different standard? Hard to doubt.
