Anita Dunn: Can I have some Mao ? [UPDATE by Dan]

Some film surfaced of White House mouthpiece Anita Dunn, who recently accused Fox news of being the propaganda arm of the Republican party, addressing some high school students.  During the address she tells the audience that her favorite philosophers are Mother Theresa and...Chairman Mao?  She contends it was wry humor, a la Lee Atwater, but if you listen to the clip it doesn't sound to me like she's joking at all-especially when talking about the chairman; a man who destroyed the economy, society, and culture of China and was responsible for the deaths of tens of millions of people during his tenure.

This explains a lot really.  I mean, most astute folks realized that her rant about Fox was really a combination of frustration over the plan to demonize Fox backfiring, and projection of the avowed role the majority of the legacy media regularly fill for Democrats; the party voice must be unified and strong, after all.  And, it explains how she could be so comfortable working amongst all the other Marxists, crypto and overt, in the administration.  But most of all, it explains her ease with making an ass of herself during a 9 minute rant on national television; after all, it was in the name of the cult of dear leader...

I think that we should refer to her as Anita Dung.
