As I watched this Fox News-Chicago video report on the delay in opening the Planned Parenthood abortion clinic in Aurora, Ill., today, I thought about how PPFA has a lot in common with O.J.
(Hattip: Jill Stanek for Fox News-Chicago report.)
Once football great and later accused murderer O.J. Simpson is back in the news for allegedly barging into a hotel room with gun toting companions to retrieve sports memorabilia that he claims belongs to him. Simpson has been arrested and charged with several felonies. One of his accomplices now claims that Simpson was set up, reports the Associated Press.
In dealing with the press about his latest brush with the law, a confident Simpson comes up with all of the best lines, as the Washington Post's Op-Ed Columnist Eugene Robinson notes.
Like O.J., Planned Parenthood's Steve Trombley speaks to Fox Newsand others with assurance in stating that Aurora's city officials should have known by the design for the facility that it would be an abortion clinic, even though PPFA's paperwork for the city indicated in April that the tenant was "Unknown at this time."
With delusional arrogance, O.J. and PPFA appear to believe that laws which apply to the rest of us do not apply to them.
Getting away with murder could easily have that aftereffect.
