Just For a Minute, Let's All Do the Bump
Posted by: Mary Katharine Ham at 11:28 AM

Santorum: Gangsta is creepin'

George Allen apologizes for the fact that a bunch of people took a made-up word, Googled it, and managed to turn it into an obscure racial slur and were subsequently outraged. Whew, thank goodness.

RI: The Laff meets the Chafe in battle

Bush "revamps" message on Iraq War, AP says. Bowing to political pressure he changes from "Iraq is a central battleground in the War on Terror, and if we don't fight terrorists there, we will have to fight them here" to "Iraq is a central battleground in the War on Terror, and if we don't fight terrorists there, we will have to fight them here." Um, okay.

Lieberman gets on ballot. CNN gets even.I

It suits my political purposes to blame this loss on pork, and so I shall. It was the pork that done him in, I say!

Def Republican Jam in Maryland

And since we're on old-school hip-hop, "just for a minute, let's all do the bump. Bump, bump, bump."

"That's right. Ice...Man. I am dangerous." (Too obvious? Probably, but I got to throw in the teeth-snap, and that's my favorite.)

Exactly
A bunch of fuss over a very small, maybe-offensive thing...It's taken a week-long news cycle to convince everyone it was even offensive in the first place. Everyone was just walking around scratching their heads at first.

Google...
MKH, I like your summary of the manufactured hysteria regarding Senator Allen---especially the part about his opponents having to Google the word prior to determining that they were outraged.

It's like a tree falling in a forest with no one to hear it.

If a person is insulted, but isn't quite sure what the insulting word means---do they still feel insulted ?
