Digby delivers a big fat kick in the pants this morning and he's got a hugely valid point, which is: all the trumpeting about how 'moral' the Red States are is plain old hypocracy. We should not pander to it.
the fact is that somebody in the red states is watching Will and Grace and somebody is watching Girls Gone Wild and a whole bunch of somebodies are downloading pornography. I'm sure they tut-tut those terrible liberals while they pass the popcorn and laugh over The Bachelor's latest catfight.The biggest hit of the TV season is the sexually adventurous Desperate Housewives and it ain't just because people in New York and LA are watching it. The National Enquirer and the Globe are hugely popular in Middle America with their fascination with Hollywood dirt.This is mass consumer culture and it plays very successfully all across that great swathe of red. Somebody's watching all this stuff and buying all this stuff and consuming all this stuff.
I could quote the whole thing becasue it's all good, but that's the gist. Enjoy.
