I'm probably old enough to be your father and I don't see whats so worth getting upset about. She wasn't the one wearing the dumb costume. Honestly though doesn't it get tiring having to manufacture outrage over something trivial every day of the week?

You aren't old enough to be my father, believe me.

You don't get it at all.

Well, since Prince Harry was castigated for showing up at a party as an SS Stormtrooper, I think perhaps we should hold the same standard.

Showing up as someone scary from the distant past (Ghegis Khan or Nero) or as someone mythical (vampires or ghosts) is one thing. Showing up as a murdering, anti-Jewish, anti-American murderer is beyond the pale, especially since some of the guests might have relatives who might be targets of suicide bombers.

Personally, I think that this should be publicized far and wide in Pennsylvania, and Ed Rendell should be asked what kind of people he has in his state university system.
