This really isn't about the Rev., pro or con. I guess that Rev. Wright is Obama's Swiftboat.  I'm sure that we've all reached the saturation point with regard to the good Rev.  I don't find anything Wright has said to be all that surprising, but I understand why people might be offended, blah, blah, blah, blah.  This means that we'll be hearing about Rev. Wright from now until November.  And if Obama is elected President, we could be hearing about Rev. Wright for five or even nine more years.  The good Rev. Wright (and Hillary's Excellent Bosnian Adventure) are why we aren't discussing the issues: Iraq, the foreclosure crisis, job outsourcing, etc., etc.  What are good liberals to do? Here are a few suggestions:    

My hometown NPR station in DC is WAMU, which features a local reporting outfit known as the Capitol News Connection.  Who is behind it, I know not.  Every weekday morning, during 'Morning Edition,' WAMU includes CNC's 'Power Breakfast' which features a snotty, snarky guy, who sounds like a pimply teenager, named something like 'Todd Zoellick.' I think that this is WAMU's attempt to sound 'hip' and 'relevant' to 'them young people'.  Generally, Power Breakfast Todd's snarky comments generally are directed at Democrats and-- (a term which infuriates me) 'The Democrat Party.'  Young Todd must have been drinking Jack Daniels' shots with Mitch McConnell last night.  Todd baby was practically crowing about how the 'Democrat Congress had done nothing' in 2007 and how it will do less next year, since 2008 is an election year.        

Christy Matthews had a panel discussion with some other blowhards tonight, Chuck Todd, undercover GOP establishment figure Howard Kurtz, and some dame from New York Magazine named Jennifer Senior.  This small establishment blowhards' convention wished out loud that some of the lower tier candidates would be kept of out the GOP and Democratic debates.  Senior went so far as to call Ron Paul a 'deadbeat' because this so-called minor candidate was getting free coverage by being included in the debates.  I tuned in during the middle of this East Coast establishment gabfest, which I assume was precipitated by Sen. Brownback's withdrawal from the Presidential sweepstakes.  No doubt this group of New York City and Washington, DC pundits wish for a subway series Presidential election starring Hilary and Rudy, and screw the rest of them.

I just heard about The Mr. Brown Show which emanates from Singapore.  Apparently these goofy folks, who put together a daily podcast, have gotten in trouble with Singapore authorities for their off-kilter satire.  Yet some of The Mr. Brown Show's podcasts have gotten downloads of 60,000 or more.
