Description: Ellen Degenerate
Finally, one wonders about what all of this will mean for ED.
When I first heard the story I wondered just how quickly ED would
be held up to opprobrium.  I wondered how soon somebody would
call her "Ellen Degenerate"?  I soon got an answer because The
Rev. Jerry Falwell weighed in with that appellation.  According
to TIME, when ED was told that Jerry Falwell had called her
"Ellen Degenerate," she remembered first being called that name
by little boys when she was in fourth grade.  (Falwell watchers
are, no doubt, pleased to have this new estimate of his
developmental age.)
