Well, it seems others are having more fun than I did with Margaret Spellings.

Susan Ohanian, winner of the 2003 NCTE Orwell Award for Distinguished Contribution to Honesty and Clarity in Public Language, has posted a satire piece by Michael Berube on the torid Bunnylovegate.

Here's a tease of the satire...

Washington, January 31- Following on her protest last week against a PBS cartoon character's visit to Vermont, where he encounters a lesbian couple, Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings announced at a press conference today that her department was not engaged in a "trivial" or "merely symbolic" campaign against a children's television program.

"Buster Bunny is not the problem," said Spellings. "Though I note with some dismay that Buster travels the country accompanied only by his father because his parents are divorced, and I do not see why our children should be subjected to yet another glamorization of the divorce lifestyle. No, the problem is Vermont itself. It is Vermont to which I object. Christians everywhere should be outraged that it was represented in this children's program."
