"Wright and Ridiculous"

Tomorrow's Indiana and North Carolina primaries will provide some indication as to whether the amoral "glue-Obama-to-Wright" alliance between the Clinton campaign, Rethug pols, and the media is having traction among the voters. Superficial indications would seem to indicate that it is, given the incessant focus on what could be the most trivial "issue" in a major campaign since the foofaw over whether Chester A. Arthur used beeswax in his "burnsides." Sebastian Mallaby has this op/ed in today's WaPo, once more putting into perspective what the amoralist alliance would like to make this campaign about: not the economy, not Iraq, not fighting terrorism, not global climate change, not energy independence, not immigration policy, not the make-up of the Supreme Court.

As the "Wizard of Oz" said, "Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!"
