To anyone who has ever stood up in church and given her testimony, be afraid, be very afraid. Your story of redemption could be misconstrued to lead to your forced resignation. Because anybody who's ever sat in a pew and sung "Love lifted me" could have recognized the format and eventual conclusion of Shirley Sherrod's statement, even from the maliciously distorted Andrew Breitbart video.
White House, you looked silly and naive when Michaele and Tareq Salahi crashed the party. We questioned your ability to be objective when you quickly defended Henry Louis Gates Jr. Now we question your fitness to respond appropriately to large threats to the nation. We mourn for the death of discretion, of journalistic integrity, and of just plain old momma style common sense.
