Sedition Gets More Just Desserts

Ya know, it does my heart good to see a bloated, washed-up has-been performer like Linda Ronstadt get both booed off the stage and thrown out of the Las Vegas hotel, the Aladdin, at which she was performing for defending an even more bloated traitor like Michael Moore and urging the audience to see his seditious “documentary.” Reportedly the crowd was so angry at Ronstadt’s freelance politicking that they were on the verge of rioting.

Nobody wants to see violence or destruction of property, of course, but to me it’s rather like the Vice President’s missive to Senator Pat Leahy – an incident that is not virtuous in and of itself, but becomes virtuous by, well, virtue of the evil against which it is reacting.

One can just see the Jon Fredersens warming up in the bullpen on this, but their nonsense is irrelevant by its ubiquity. The fact is that Leahy and Ronstadt and Whoopie Goldberg (who was fired by SlimFast) and, way back when, the Dixie Chicks, got exactly what they deserved. And it would appear that a substantial portion of Americans feels the same way.
