This is a good, relevant, thought-provoking post about why people are looking the other way, and I wonder: do they continue to look the other way about this post by not commenting? Is their 'not-commenting' a comment? <BR/><BR/>When I talk to people about McCain allegedly calling his wife a cunt they immediately jump to the conclusion that: (1) it isn't true, because nobody in the media reported on it; or (2) of utmost importance is knowing the validity of the allegation.<BR/><BR/> I agree with you that the issue at stake in the "callin-his-wife-a-cunt" story is the double standard. But it is also a question of not questioning authority (why the media didn't report on the story then; why the media is not demanding interviews with Sarah Palin, etc.).Andrea Popehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00876387331945562887noreply@blogger.com
