News and Commentary on Politics, Media and Culture

And here’s the best part—he’s there to promote his—are you ready for this?—his children’s book “Puff the Magic Dragon.” Perhaps Good Morning America is unaware that Peter Yarrow spent 3 months of a one to three year prison sentence after pleading guilty to taking “immoral and improper liberties” with a 14-year-old girl in 1970. He was pardoned in 1981 by—Drumroll, please!—Jimmy Carter.

If you’re thinking this isn’t the crime of the century, and that it happened a long time ago, I don’t disagree, but I do wonder why ABC feels the need to promote this clown’s book instead of a gazillion others that weren’t written by some disgusting hippie fossil who thought it was a good idea to answer the door naked and make sexual advances toward a teenage girl.

Could it be that they so admire his idiotic lefty “peace activist” credentials that they want to help him anyway that they can? He did campaign for John Francois Kerry in 2004, after all. Like Kerry, he is very fond of our communist North Vietnamese enemy.

So, they figure, keep the rehabilitation of this anti-American relic going. Pathetic.
