Bennett's Abortive Attempt to Forestall Criticism

Once more into the breach.BENNETT: ABORTING TALK-SHOW HOSTS WOULD REDUCE IDIOTIC COMMENTS

Former Education Secretary Finds Himself in Middle of Controversy Again

After bring blasted for saying on his radio program that aborting all black babies would reduce crime in America, former Education Secretary Bill Bennett attempted an apology today, telling his radio audience that aborting all future talk-show hosts would dramatically reduce the number of idiotic remarks made on the radio.

“I just want to put this out there,” Mr. Bennett said on “Morning in America,” his nationally syndicated radio program. “But if we were to systematically abort every future radio talk-show host in this country, the number of idiotic remarks made in America would plummet.”

After making his latest controversial remark, however, Mr. Bennett did not leave well enough alone as he launched in a series of other potentially inflammatory abortion proposals.

“We have an enormous problem of gambling addiction in this country,” Mr. Bennett said. “It seems to me that the one surefire way to fix it would be to abort all future gambling addicts before they get the chance to hit the tables at Vegas.”

Furthermore, Mr. Bennett said, abortion could be the key to reducing the number of sanctimonious hypocrites in America today: “Let’s just abort all of those sanctimonious hypocrites before they start writing pompous books and hosting radio shows.”

I could almost see him saying this.
