Well said

In Andrew Sullivan's absence this week, Walter Kirn has addressed the poor child that had the misfortune of being born to the only folks who can even be considered for the title Weird Public Couple of the New Millenium. To quote:

If unborn children really had rights, the infant daughter of the actress Katie Holmes and the temporarily-humanoid immortal starseed that styles itself 'Tom Cruise' would have been delivered by a lawyer. Breaking the absolute silence of the delivery room, the lawyer, on the infant's behalf, would have sued for spiritual guardianship and demanded that all profits earned from sale of the child's story and image-- including 'virtual' profits in the form of publicity for its parents -- be deposited in a trust account to fund its lifelong psychotherapy needs.

That poor child will need more help than any of us can give her.
