BOB SOMERBY: Progressives of the world, unite! “Did we mention that Prejean?s position on the issue at hand resembles that of almost all major Dems? Resembles that of President Obama, to cite just one example? At any rate, the boys went on and on?and on?with their clever boob jokes. . . . Criticizing Prejean for this stance, and for her new affiliations, is perfectly OK, of course?although she simply isn?t an important public figure. But Prejean?s stance has nothing to do with her ‘boobs,’ or with Olbermann?s undying need to denigrate women?s intelligence and joke about women?s bodies. The fact that this keeps occurring on a ‘progressive’ TV show is a truly amazing fact about an amazing corporate era. Even more amazing: The fact that a screaming mess like this would then be thrown to a woman host. The fact that few progressives on the ‘liberal web’ will ever say boo about this.” Hope and change. . . .
