Singleton Reference in Osmond Piece

I found the analogies used by Jim Washburn in his review of Marie Osmond’s performance to be tasteless and vulgar. I have followed the story of Mary Vincent since the tragedy, and I am no less appalled today by Lawrence Singleton’s heinous crime than I was when it happened.

I find it very difficult to believe that Mr. Washburn could not have found a more appropriate way to convey his point. What is next? A reference to David Rothenberg?

It’s a shame that Mr. Washburn could not display some of the feeling and sensitivity that he felt was lacking in Marie Osmond’s performance.
