On Friday, Philadelphia Phillies second baseman Chase Utley told 100,000 people attending a celebration for the team that the Philles are "World Fucking Champions". This revelation was legal, shocked approximately three people in the audience of 100,000, and was not an abuse of power in any way.

On Friday, an anonymous employee of the US federal government told Ruper Murdoch's Times of London that Barack Obama's half-aunt Zeituni Onyango is under investigation for living and working in the United States illegally. This revelation, unlike Utley's, is a violation of federal law and was undoubtedly intended to sway the election against Obama.

Which one of these utterances had you heard any outrage about?

Outrage, none. I had heard that the leak about Ms. Onyango was illegal and being investigated; I hadn't even heard about Utley. But the only radio we listen to is WFUV and WNYC [1], and not huge amounts of those right now.

[1] Fordham's radio station, mostly for music and Vin Scelsa's mix of that, books, and anything else he feels like, and the city-run NPR station, where [livejournal.com profile] cattitude is getting Morning Edition, Garrison Keillor, and sometimes Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me and Car Talk.
