Political Commentary

My two-year-old niece played pleasantly, happily with her toys in front of the television while waiting for her parents to take her to school.

On the television, the Today show presented a panel discussing the Larry Craig situation. A clip of Craig would run, then the panel would discuss. Another clip of Craig would play, followed by more discussion. And so on.

Every time Craig’s clip ran, my niece would frown up at the screen, pigtails shaking, and shout, “Be quiet!”

She returned to playtime during the moderator's discussion, but when Craig came up again, she repeated her request: “Be quiet!”

"Be quiet!"

"Be quiet!"

And then went back to her toys.
