Mood: smelly
Despite the inexcusably bad prose in the following Washington Post report, you can be rest assured that chickenshit has its costs:
A central player has voted with his feet in the drama over NARAL Pro-Choice America's decision to withdraw a television ad about Supreme Court nominee John G. Roberts Jr. that outraged conservatives had branded as false. Some Democrats said their side should be tougher, and one of them is David E. Seldin, who as NARAL's communications director had defended the ad's linking of Roberts to violent abortion opponents as "100 percent accurate." A day after Thursday night's announcement that the ad was being yanked, Seldin sent an e-mail to friends saying that he was leaving his job immediately.That's the lead paragraph in a news story.
No. Really.
I have yet to hear a single talking head from either side of the Roberts nomination not call this ad a bunch of dishonest chickenshit.
Once again, essential human rights are being defended by the ugliest people possible. It's funny how often that happens.
