'WASHINGTON (AP) - A longtime advocate for victims of domestic violence and sexual assault has been named to a new post advising the White House on those issues.

Vice President Joe Biden announced the appointment Friday of Lynn Rosenthal, an expert in domestic violence policy. The White House said she will advise President Barack Obama and work with government agencies to ensure that violence against women isn't ignored and the perpetrators are held accountable.

A former director of a women's shelter, Rosenthal was executive director of the National Network to End Domestic Violence from 2000 to 2006. And she worked as director of the Florida Coalition Against Domestic Violence.'

I wonder if the new Czar of domestic Violence will follow Biden's lead and ignore male victims. The 2010 reauthorization of the VAWA should be very interesting. I really think Biden seems himself as the knight in shinning armor coming to the aid of the defenseless woman. He is the embodiment of chilvary run amuck.
