The entire media debacle covering Rev. Wright sickens me. I certainly think that the relationship deserves scrutiny, but the proportionality of media coverage to this event as opposed to others is staggering. Is Rev. Wright really that much more important than the economy? Iraq? The failures of the current administration?
And after the media (correctly) asserts that his remarks are ridiculous for months, they give the man an open forum to express his thoughts, and then replay the video thousands of times over. Can the agenda of the media be any more hypocritical?
And then you have Democrats lambasting Republicans for pushing the issue. Give me a break. As if the Democrats wouldn't do the same if it were McCain. I'm leaning Democrat myself, but it's clear that both parties are to blame for avoiding the tough issues.
I guess it's just easier to discuss a crazy pastor than it is the economy.
