Candy Crowley? What, Helen Thomas wasn't available?
So I'm still playing catchup after the weekend server outage from Hell, and what's everyone around here buzzing about? Three teens from Montclair High School who created a petition on Change.org asking the Commission on Presidential Debates to name a woman moderator.
Presumably because Gwen Ifill wasn't enough of an Obama stooge during the 2008 Vice Presidential debate.
Anyway, CNN's Candy Ryan-Ticket-Death-Wish Crowley is the token female this year. And unable to separate effect from cause, our three starry-eyed debutantes are just giddy over their new found fame.
"We were just jumping for joy, hugging each other, screaming. It was amazing."
Nevermind that nobody would go on record crediting them with anything.
The nonpartisan debate commission did not say whether its decision was influenced by the girls' petitions, and Executive Director Janet Brown did not return a phone message.
But it felt like a victory to the girls, who had traveled to Washington, D.C. in July to deliver the petitions to Brown, but were turned away, told she wasn't in the office and the commission no longer accepted packages.
So their precious petition wasn't even read! "But it felt like a victory" because after all, feelings are way more important than say, actual accomplishment. I think that's like the Zeroth Law Of Public Schooling, or something. Feelings, Nothing more than Feelings… Wo-o-o feelings… Or should I chant, Ooga-chaka ooga-ooga, Ooga-chaka ooga-ooga… It's the background music to "I am Woman, hear me petition."
Bard College here they come!
You know what really cracks me up? I posted some of this in the comments at
NJ.com and they deleted it. I guess Progbots don't do sarcasm.
