No, I didn't say it was nothing. I believe I said it was "silly". I also didn't specify what part (or parts) of this issue I believe are silly. My use of "non-story" was a sarcastic reference regarding attempts to relegate this phenomenon to nothingness when it is in reality "something". The something is an unintended embarrassingly distracting consequence of Obama and Wright's relationship, the hubbub in the press, the racial overtones, and the continuing controversy that continues to pull the democratic primary down to the lowest denominator. Unfortunately it makes news out of media drama. Why is this so-called non-issue of the 24 hour news cycle forcing everyone (including Obama) to weigh in? It's a very silly ... almost comical ... dance that (apparently) you are also participating in.
