Okay, it doesn't get more effective and elegant than this.
In yesterday's post, I listed some of the steps involved in Mussar, a method of confronting social wrongs that doesn't involve shame. Step number one to was to try a dignified one-on-one first.
Ellen Degeneres does just that when she places a call to Oklahoma GOP Representative Sally Kern, who went off on an anti-gay tirade that was recorded without her knowledge. This clip is all over You Tube and Alternet, but in case you've missed it, I'm embedding it here, too. BRAVO to Ellen.

wow. I'm never going to accuse Ellen on being all fluff again. THAT rocked!
That was super. Ellen does, indeed, rock. Good for her for making the call and being poised and funny and out. Thanks for posting this, Magge.
ya know, I think Ellen's really funny. Which is weird, because I never liked her sitcom. It always felt really forced and like it relied on humiliation comedy.
I think the talk show format is better, so she can just ramble and let the funny come out....
