National Review Crazies

Apparently when a pro-choice person speaks at a Catholic university commencement a baby angel gets its wings ripped off and is thrown in a tank full of rabid sharks infected with Hepatitis - or at least Kathryn Jean Lopez would want you to think so. She's all up in arms that President Obama was asked to speak at Georgetown University:

"

Saint Patrick’s Cathedral, New York City — On Tuesday the president of the United States gave a much-anticipated economic address at Georgetown University. While speaking there, a usually impossible-to-miss “IHS” — a common monogram for Jesus Christ — was missing from its perch at the center of the auditorium stage.

Georgetown is, of course, a Catholic university, and the fact that Jesus Christ is represented prominently in the school’s much-used auditorium is no surprise. And it wouldn’t come as a shock if someone from the school — perhaps aware that a defender of infanticide was coming to speak — attempted to remove any sense that Jesus might be endorsing the president (or his Sermon on the Mount-metaphor speech).

That the president’s people might have asked the school to remove the IHS wouldn’t come as a shock either. After all, a speech on the economy is no Passover Seder at the White House, and who knows who might be offended. As it happens, the White House did request that the IHS be hidden during the president’s appearance. But Georgetown officials should have reacted immediately by asking that the speech be delivered elsewhere — anything to avoid obscuring the school’s reason for being.

"


Seriously K-Lo? Seriously? Can someone get me Chris Brown's # please? I have a job for him.
