In defense of Moonie-crowning congressmen?
From the Philadelphia Inquirer, a columnist who believes the claims of congressmen who say they had no idea they were crowning Rev. Moon the "King of Peace":
"But as for not being fully briefed in advance about the 'crowning' of a guy who claims to channel Stalin and Hitler, I believe Weldon. Attending a Moon-sponsored event is an hours-long ordeal that few people with any sense would endure to its mind-numbing conclusion. I know because I heard Moon speak at a banquet in Washington in May 2002.It was the 20th anniversary celebration of the Washington Times, for which I worked. (No, there was no shift selling flowers at the airport.) I had never seen Moon, and I persuaded my wife (no, it wasn't an arranged marriage) to come along for the same reason people drive slowly past bus accidents."
In other Moonie Times news, the discounting continues: a street vendor at Judiciary Square is selling it with the Wall Street Journal for 75 cents combined, 50 cents off the newsstand price.

Perhaps that newsvendor would do even better if he offered it in a package deal with one of the supermarket tabloids. Cat starves on "Catkins" diet! Mass weddings in a Korean sports stadium! It would be a good "fit", as business analysts like to say.
