Is Janet Jackson's Boob Akin to a Suicide Bomb?
From MSNBC's Scarborough Country last night. Congressman John Shadegg suggests that Justin Timberlake has just aided the terrorists:

RADAKOVICH: Oh, we are making such a big deal out of this. I mean, she flashed her booby for about two seconds and you‘re making the leap to pornography, which is completely ridiculous.Um, I don't know--that we deserve to be blown up?
(CROSSTALK)
SHADEGG: No, I‘m making the leap to violence against women.
RADAKOVICH: Oh, a flashing of a boob is violence against women? Most of the women who saw it thought it was funny.
(CROSSTALK)
SHADEGG: Wait. Wait. Wait. Don‘t mislead people. She did not flash her boob. She didn‘t open up the cover on her breast. He ripped it off.
And I want to make the point that this comes post-9/11, when the entire Muslim world is looking at us and saying, we degrade women, we‘re a baseless society with no morals. And we flash this not just to millions of American families who are watching and expect not to see this kind of conduct, but we flash it around the world. What kind of message do we send?
