With the notable exceptions of Bill O'Reilly and Nancy Grace, most in the media are treating child molester Debra Lafave as more of a dirty joke than as a child molester. Hello, Keith Olbermann's "Hot for Teacher" jokes are not journalism, they're just not funny.
But here's the thing. The media crowned Lafave as a kind of felonious Miss America when the story broke, a kind of girl-next-door gone really bad, so they could get a lot of mileage from the whole Miss-America-gone-bad angle. Which, I'm sorry, is as sick as she is.
