Oh no, she di'int! (or, "Why I like Lisa de Moraes")

I had no idea who Lisa de Moraes was, until I started listening to Mr Tony. Now she's one of my favourite columnists. Not because she writes about television; but rather, because she is one of the wittiest prickly pens without mercy I know of. Viz:
And nothing says "founding fathers" like a 17-hour MSNBC "To Catch a Predator" marathon, including two blocks of extra-special "Predator Raw: The Unseen Tapes." God bless America.

Now, I do think there's something creepy, vile, and criminal about sexual abuse. And I also am saddened and mystified by what must be broken in the brains of those who compulsively lust after children.

But I cannot help but wonder how many notches up the pr0n scale from the criminality it purports to despise we find the natural home of voyeuristic pap like "To Catch a Predator".

Go Lisa.
