Reply #96: Check and mate. I think Gupta's a great choice.

The dustup over Moore's documentary is a sideshow. Much ado about nothing.

If being wrong about something disqualifies you for work, nobody would be employed. Progressives are just pissed because Gupta got into a pissing contest with Michael Moore. I like Michael Moore and think he does a great service with his documentaries, but I couldn't give a shit who disagrees with him or dislikes him. As I have previously stated, progressives have been pissed about pretty-much everything Obama has done, or not done, since he was elected. This is just one more notch in their belt. Yawn.

AmericaBlog's John Aravosis is pissed, claiming that Obama's cabinet is not diverse because he didn't appoint any openly gay cabinet members. It doesn't matter than he has one, possibly 2 openly gay members on his staff and is considering an openly gay man for Secretary of the Navy (which is huge!). Nor does having women, hispanics, Asians, African Americans qualify his cabinet for diversity. Nope. Apparently, only open gay people can create diversity. What a bunch of whiny-ass crap.
