So there's all this angst about President Obama's acceptance of an honorary degree at the University of Notre Dame. He's pro-choice. The university is, well, Catholic. A few dozen students protested and a few thousand clerics expressed their outrage.
But here's my question: Where were the wolves in 1998, when the university's graduation speaker was Joseph Kernan, lieutenant governor of Indiana and a pro-choice guy? By 2004, Kernan had become the state's first Catholic governor, but even his own high school disowned him at graduation time because of his opinions on the issue.
The inconsistency is intriguing if nothing else. I'll have more later.
