Two Whores

On his new CNN gig last night with Anderson Cooper, David Gergen -- the ultimate political whore -- lashed out at McCain for not outright apologizing to the American people for the few "opinionated" folks in his rallies. No, all he did was snatch the microphone from one of them and practically endorse Obama himself. In the interest of fairness and balance (oops, wrong network), perhaps Mr. Gergen will prevail upon his latest pimp, Senator Obama, to repudiate one of his supporters -- Madonna, the ultimate whore whore -- for juxtaposing McCain and Hitler on her hideous concert video.

But wait, let's analyze this. In one case, you have a bunch of illiterate yahoos spewing irrational hatred toward a Presidential candidate in a public forum. In the other case, you have a deified "entertainment" figure using her inalienable free speech right to justifiably associate a Presidential candidate with the worst fiend the world has ever known. I'd say that's a wash; no harm, no foul.
