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.

We prefer to remember her in better times.

This is just like when the Rev. Franklin Graham resigned after calling Islam an “evil religion.”

Oh wait… he didn’t resign?

Damned… the double standard remains intact!

@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?
