Komen Foundation makes major blunder in joining abortion fight | Jay Bookman

The big update today is that the Stingy Goon Komen for the Crass people are "giving in" to their plan to defund Planned Parenthood. First, they haven't. They have decided they'll still open their mail when they ask for money. Which is like me telling the Klan/GOP I won't immediately burn their mail on receipt. In short, it means nothing.

Second, an outfit with huge admin costs who went all in for the Galtists/Talibangelicals just wants to sweep their hatred under the rug. Those a-holes have got another thing coming if they think any pink item ends up in our shopping carts. Screw them.

Third, this is another of those damned non-apologies. Stop pretending they are.

Fourth, they swear they won't give money to outfits under criminal investigation. So how did Penn State get $70-odd million dollars? Hmmm.

Anyway, here is some earlier reporting, starting off with this critique of the politics of the decision.

MaddowBlog reporting from the beginning, yesterday, and this morning.

Here is that deleted retweet you may have heard of from Komen's VP of Bigotry Karen Handel.

Last but not least is this Joan Walsh article on the practice or GOP religious bullying and bigotry across the board.
