Case in point: http://nymag.com/daily/intel/2007/02/a_brief_history_of_times_genit_1.html Pretty much everybody sucks, really, except us.

(What are the odds her daughter has something pierced by age 11?) Of course, this is The View - not World News Tonight...but still, it speaks to the current moral/political climate.

What's-her-face, the stupid, young blonde one, said that she ALTERS the books she reads to her 2 year old daughter. Actually takes a black Sharpie to them and changes the text. She whipped out Babar and said she wouldn't read it to her daughter because Babar marries his cousin. She was ridiculous. The rest of them, Barbara Walters included, engaged in a spirited discussion of what word would possibly be acceptable. The guy in charge of the bleep button was working overtime.
