The so-called “liberal” media (owned by conservatives) had a hissy fit when Michele Obama mentioned her husband’s morning breath and body odor.  They wanted her handlers to tape her mouth with duct tape, then bring out the Right Guard for hubby.  Now French president Nickolas “Sarko” Sarkozy gets the green weenie for walking out of a 60 Minutes segment when the media rock star reporter wanted Monsieur le President to talk about his wife, a subject he considers out of bounds.  And Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, the new president of Argentina, is being tagged as a leftist tyro-symp in the camp of Fidel Castro and Venezuela’s American trained leader Hugo Chavez… all because she won, and wore a red beret at a few campaign events en route to victory.   If “we’re global” like Senator Obama says, perhaps we ought to be reporting from the perspective of global values, not recycled Cold War perspectives.  The Cold War stuff might play in Peoria just fine.  On the other hand, Larry Craig’s foot tapping in the Minneapolis airport won’t bring safer toys (made in China and purchased at Wal-Mart) around the Christmas trees of working American families. It won’t bring cheap medicine for the more than 200 million diabetics in India who go untreated.  Should Michael Bloomberg ask New Yorkers to rename Times Square to Global Square.  The people of Madras, India voted to change their city name to Chennai… global is relative, innit?
