Two Honest Women

My parents were JFK voters and I read Profiles in Courage as a kid. That was the high point for Democrats in my book. Jeff Jacoby, Boston Globe:

But if Specter is no profile in courage, there are others in the public eye who are, as two admirable American women have recently reminded us.

Carrie Prejean and Mary Ann Glendon could hardly seem more dissimilar. Prejean is a 21-year-old California beauty queen and model; Glendon is a Harvard law professor and a former US ambassador to the Vatican. What they have in common is a greater respect for honesty than for political correctness, and for the obligations of moral witness than for their own personal prestige.
