Axis of Right

People say stupid things all the time. I’ve done it. You’ve done it. Everyone has done it at one time or another. The latest fad in our society when someone says something stupid is to get worked up and/or sanctimonious, demand an apology, debate whether the apology was good enough, and then finally move on when something else distracts us. For the love of God people, they’re only words.

Admittedly, some people step in it more often than others. Take Rosie O’Donnell for example. O’Donnell, who ironically enough is one of those people who tends to blow other peoples’ words completely out of proportion, recently offended Asian Americans with her impersonation of a Chinese newscast. How should people respond to O’Donnell? Should she receive the John Rocker/Michael Richards treatment? Probably not. But her hypocrisy is certainly fair game. Let’s leave the response to Michelle Malkin.
