Whatever happened to enforcing the law on these JACKHATS? Start putting them in jail and it would stop!

That says something, but still to think it took something that awful to finally cross the line... just a few years ago a Halloween mask of Obama was too much. And if you listen to Kathy's apology, she doesn't get it. She only apologized because people didn't see the humor in it, not that she felt she did anything wrong.

Agreed. I never thought she was funny even on that Seinfeld episode where she was submarining Jerry. Her "humor" always seemed mean spirited to me.
