Today in my Rocky Mountain News column, I address the latest sideshow in this three-ring circus of an election: A number of pro-choicers who don’t support the notion that Feminists for Life member Sarah Palin could choose to be against abortion thought it would be a stroke of clever irony to make donations to Planned Parenthood in her name, including the address of the McCain campaign so that Planned Parenthood would send Palin a card to let her in on the joke, basically. Call this “fiendish” stroke of “brilliance” immature at best, and incredibly callous at worst. Regardless, it takes another whack at the rapidly deteriorating level of political discourse this election season.
