Thinking about the Sherrod affair




I'm going to stick my nose into an issue that never should have been an issue to begin with,  Like it or not, and I don't,  I need to comment about it now, more about that a little later.

I forget where and when I saw the first headline about Shirley Sherrod.  I remember that by the second paragraph I'd decided the entire thing was absurd. In a speech a few months ago a woman mentions she acted in a way some folks might consider insensitive.. a generation ago.. and suddenly it's a headline.  What the ------?  I didn't finish the story.. I didn't watch the video clip.. I didn't even notice that Andew Brietbart's Big Journalism was behind it.
