"Gates-Gate"?!

Of all of the opining about this infamous incident, Robin Wells' op-ed piece in the Huffington Post seems, to me, to hit the nail sqarely on the head.

It's not so much her opinion -- although I like that too -- it's her reasoning process! She likens this drama to a family psycho-drama being dealt with by a wise counselor. [Not necessarily a "wise Latina"!].

It's not often I find an argument by analogy to be worth a "pitcher of warm spit" [it's a famous quote by a rather unknown VP about his VP job with a rather more well-known P -- look it up!].

Here's the article:

One major caveat -- her detestable use [and the similar odious use by others] of the phrase, "teachable moment"!!

In my former "life" as a college/university professor, I'd this bit of tripe oh sooooooo often -- as if it had any meaning. Just try to define it and you'll see what I mean -- you can't....you betcha you can't!

But back to Wells on Gates-gate: Read it!
