Keith Olbermann Bitch-Slaps Mullah Dobson...
He was great on ESPN, but he is just phenomenal on MSNBC...
He may be the only truly moderate voice on any of the 24-hour news channels. Not to mention he often has the absolutely yummy Alison Stewart fill in for him when he takes time off...
It seems that Dr. James Dobson, American Mullah of virtues and values, is a little embarrassed at all the attention his "SpongeBob SquarePants-is-a-homosexual" conspiracy theory has garnered.
Logically, he's decided to lash out against Keith Olbermann...Hilarity ensues...
Mother used to insist that there were two things you should never talk about in public: politics and religion.
Now, of course, that’s all we talk about. But the moral guidance still rings loudly all these years later, and it always makes me a reluctant conversant, even if I apologize to Mom in advance.
However, the Three-Card Monte Players at Dr. James Dobson’s “Focus On The Family” have reopened the can of worms that is SpongeBobGate, and have focused not on the family but on me, and in so doing embarrassed themselves and undermined the validity of their own concerns.
Dobson, you will recall, joined the singularly inoffensive animated character “SpongeBob SquarePants” to his conspiracy theories of a “pro-homosexual” agenda, in order to get headlines. When he got those headlines, he promptly complained about getting them. Dobson, like many other exploiters of Amoral Values, ran immediately to the easiest way out of a stupid fix of his own creation: he blamed the big old ugly media.
UPDATE: Haloscan is behaving badly today, so please direct all comments to the smaller "comments" tab next to the time stamps at the end of each post.
2nd UPDATE: When in doubt, read the first UPDATE...
