Meanwhile all the criminals in (none / 0) (#168)

their coats and their ties are free to drink martinis and watch the su8nrise..

The usurpers in the Whitehouse and every knuckle dragging radio talk show host clap their hands with delight every time the discussion is diverted to the hither-to-unknown Rev Wright.

Whats happening here is that the image consultants, pollsters, and focus group researchers, in the intersts of (very) short term advantage, are, once again, pandering to the prurient, sensational, and, (one would hope), unwittingly, allowing the Rethug Right, by proxy, frame the discussion.

Meanwhile, such inconsequentialities as the country being pulled down a trillion dollar rabbit hole in the M.E, unprecedented food and gas prices, malnourished kids going to crumbling schools in warzone neighborhoods, forclosures etc etc All take second place to our preoccpation with scary, mililtant, boogiemen and who loves the flag more.
