GOODY TWO SHOES: The Five Stages Of Political Correctness
In her 1969 book, "On Death and Dying," psychiatrist Elsabeth Kubler-Ross defined the five stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. Writing about the Imus imbroglio, columnist Jonah Goldberg describes the five stages of "political correctness Kabuki theater":
† "white guys get beat up for things others are allowed";
† liberals call for "a frank dialogue";
† liberals "bludgeon any conservative stupid enough to take them up on their offer";
† the target of the PC crowd "apologize[s] for being so frank"; and
† "the left insists on smuggling larger agendas into what should be a polite conversation about what constitutes politeness."
