BuzzFlash gets it wrong
Posted by McQ

In commenting upon Margaret Cho being "uninvited" from performing at the premier Gay, Lesbian and Transgender event being thrown at the time of the Democratic Convention on Monday night its apparent Buzzflash doesn't understand the difference at work here:

Apparently, some Democrats got skittish because the Republicans made their usual double standard whines about a raunchy Whoopi Goldberg riff at a New York Kerry fundraiser. As we noted just on Saturday, the media and the Republicans have an inexplicable hypocrisy when it comes to comic values. Dennis Miller can imply that Kerry and Edwards are gay (not that it would matter, right), but let a Democrat go down and dirty on Bush and we have a moral values crisis! Hey, Dennis, was that Wayne Newton we saw you pawing?

Gee maybe I just missed it, but I don't recall George Bush wandering on to Dennis Miller's show and saying that he "conveyed to you the heart and soul of our country", ala John Kerry at WhoopiFest.

Do you?
