I tend to avoid embroilment in comment fights. But Sunday was an exception.<\/p>\n
Over at Facebook (I’m at facebook.com\/madkane<\/a>, should you wish to befriend me) a George Stephanopoulos post<\/a> had drawn some really crazed comments. The topic was the Sarah Palin \/ David Letterman brouhaha, and I couldn’t resist chiming in with this comment:<\/p>\n He was clearly referring to Palin’s unwed-mother\/18 year old daughter, who apparently has become a spokesperson for abstinence and is in the public eye thanks to Palin’s actions. He apologized. Palin, instead of accepting his apology in a classy fashion, continues to distort and exploit what he said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Nine minutes later an outraged woman named (I kid you not) Belle Blessing posted this over-the-top response:<\/p>\n Madelin, maybe you like perverts hanging out their tongues at your daughter or maybe you even offer her up to them. The majority of this American nation who still have their moral values in tack…don’t want the perverts giving second glance. The foundation that this country was founded on had higher moral values than letting the dirt bag over 50 population treat women and girls like sex slaves. The perverts should stick to passing toilet paper under the wall and picking up on other perverted men.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n In an exercise of extreme self-control, I posted just this in response:<\/p>\n Dear Belle, I hope you and Sarah Palin will be very happy together. :)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Aren’t you impressed with my self-control?<\/p>\n Not so fast! <\/p>\n Twenty minutes later I just couldn’t help myself. Ms. Belle deserved a limerick, so I posted this:<\/p>\n There once was a woman named Belle, I feel much better now. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I tend to avoid embroilment in comment fights.

\nWho believed I was destined for hell.
\nSo self-righteous was she,
\nShe condemned me with glee
\nAnd an arrogance no one could quell.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
