Monday Morning Rant

Here's something I wanted to rant about last week but it got totally side-tracked by the John Edwards bloggers debacle [1]. Especially since it is a perfect follow-up to the hypocrisy surrounding that debacle. A hypocrisy based on how a certain kind of woman [2] uses language.

I was told by a party insider they could not link to this blog because I used the word "panties" in one of my posts.

Yes people. Like 9 year-olds, Democrats are skittish of the word used for a girls' cootie catcher.

Do I have to be a multi-millinaire political socialite [3] or a couple of guys dressed in blog drag [4] for it to be acceptable? What of the DNC linking to the aforementioned blog back in 2004 when it had a media dilettante who's shitck at said blog was to endlessly pepper her posts with sodomy jokes [5]?

Does choosing not to link to this blog have something to do with common decency [6] or is it just out right censorship [7]?
