Maryland Republican official in trouble for naming family cow after TV star

Liberals have so damn many rules that it’s tough to keep track of them all, especially at the pace with which they make up new ones. Who knew you couldn’t name a cow after big, beefy woman?
NBC Washington has details of the bovine bloviating:

A political leader in Maryland is under fire because of the name of a family pet.
Diana Waterman, the newly elected First Vice Chairman of the state Republican Party, has a black Angus cow named “Oprah.”
According to the Baltimore Sun, the issue came to light on a recent Facebook posting when the cow birthed a calf.
The Sun says the posting caught the attention of Sveinn Storm, who runs a Queen Anne’s County-focused blog called “Pave Our County?”
Storm criticized Waterman’s naming the cow after the African-American talk show host who has struggled with her weight. Storm say that’s “precisely why an enormouse (sic) number of Americans view Republicans as racists.”
Waterman defends the name. In a response to the Sun she said her children named the family’s three cows. Oprah was named for a person they admire. The other two, Ferdinand and Isabella are named after the Spanish monarchs who approved Christopher Columbus’s trip to the New World.

This brings to mind, of course, the withering criticism we’ve received for naming our office cat Obama. You can read that story here.
