Turn the volume down on the whining please.

What's up with the "I'm a victim" whining from the left this last week? Can we turn it down a bit?

example 1: Omarosa (black woman) gets "fired" as an intern on Donald Trump's hit reality show "The Apprentice". Why? Trump "fired" her for being a slacker (she wanted to take a long lunch when there was work to do), a complainer (she milked a small bump on the head as a major concussion to get out of doing things), and for "making excuses" every week.

On the loser ride out in the taxi during the credits Omarosa said she wished her peers would be open to learning new things like "diversity".

Say what? How does that track? What does getting canned for being a slacker and a whiner have to do with diversity? Are we supposed to, for diversity's sake, be tolerant of the effort-challenged?

Wait a minute, of course that's not what she meant by diversity. On the morning talks the next day she said it was because she was a black woman. Please. Enough already.

example 2: Martha Stewart gets convicted on all 4 counts for lying to federal investigators about insider trading. She was once a professional trader. She knew better. She did it. And she lied to cover it up. And she was convicted by a jury on all counts.

Immediately Hillary Clinton and MS. magazine start clamoring that Martha was prosecuted or convicted because she was a "strong woman".

Say what? What does committing crimes have to do with being a "strong woman"?

I think the lefties have the "I'm a victim" whining turned up to 11.
