Fun With Social Justice

In the latest Entertainment Weekly The New Adventures of Old Christine star Julia Louis-Dreyfus not only cops to being a fan of Keith Olbermann--breaking news?--but goes onto explain her recent heroic off-set role helping writers defeat exploitative fat cat executives. Or, as she put it: "I dig demonstrating." She certainly wasn't alone on that count.

"It was really fun," she told the magazine. "I'll picket anybody at any time."

Really? Anybody? At any time? The possibilities are endless, but my first challenge if I had read this a couple days earlier would have been Barack Obama on the set of Ellen. Maybe it would have stopped him from creating this embarrassing spectacle.
