[ Comedy Central Flash video not available. ]
She said a bad thing, the right-wing blogosphere had a field week, Craig Crawford disowned her, Walt Whitman High disinvited her as a commencement speaker, and now she’s out.

@Serolf Divad: Thank you. I figured there must be a few dozen counter-examples, but I’m not up to chasing them down. (And Beck’s too easy.)
I feel the same way about this as I did about Dan Rather: Yeah, she fucked up, but is this really going to be the defining moment of her career?
