Late Breaking Margaret Spellings Lesbian Update!
Earlier we noted that fast on the heels of the SpongeBob controversy, Education Secretary Margaret Spellings had come out swinging against another well-known cartoon character (Buster the Rabbit) for associating with lesbians.
In our earlier post, however, we incorrectly stated that she was attacking “lesbian cartoon characters.” Not so. In fact, I’m told now by several TPM readers, the lesbians with whom cartoon character ‘Buster’ met were living, breathing, human lesbians.
Apropos of this point, the topic of cartoon-human interaction itself appears now to be emerging as a source of some controversy and press attention. Here, for instance, is a photograph of a recent meeting between SpongeBob and The Rev. John H. Thomas, general minister and president of the United Church of Christ at the Church’s world headquarters in Cleveland.
