Buster Bunny and Hot Lesbian Action

You know, sometimes this country literally turns my stomach. I'd like to take a moment to thank the radical right for trying to drag my country back into the 19th century.

The head of PBS has ordered an internal review of the children's show "Postcards From Buster" after Education Secretary Margaret Spellings and other critics attacked an episode that featured real-life lesbian mothers.

Pat Mitchell, president and chief executive of the Public Broadcasting Service, said in an interview Thursday that she had asked an internal team to analyze events leading up to the controversial "Buster" episode. The team will outline the chronology and seek input from the series' producers at Boston public television station WGBH, Mitchell said.

PBS is taking the steps because it "wants to avoid confusion and controversy," she told the Los Angeles Times. Mitchell also left open the possibility of an external review of "Buster" if the team were to find that further study was needed.

"Buster" features an animated rabbit that travels the world, learning about various people and cultures. In the criticized episode, the title character travels to a farm in Vermont to study how maple sugar is made. Among those encountered are two lesbian couples, although they are never identified as such on-screen.

Oh, and PBS should be ashamed of itself for folding so easily in the face of this nonsense.
