Kindergate

(By Yuval Levin, National Review Online) - Given all the media outrage surrounding the McCain campaign’s “sex-ed in kindergarten” ad last week, you have to wonder why no one seemed to object when two ABC News reporters made the same point more than a year ago, and why no one in the press seems to have seen the video clip that accompanied their report.

My favorite part of the clip [above], by the way, of Obama speaking to Planned Parenthood last year, is not about the kindergarten issue but this little gem from Obama, as the audience giggles:

The one thing that I want to insist on is that, as I travel around the country, the American people are a decent people. Now they get confused sometimes. You know, they listen to the wrong talk radio shows or watch the wrong TV networks, um, but they’re, they’re basically decent, they’re basically sound.

Gee thanks.
