Congratulations to Jonathan Alter, he wins the Lighten Up Francis award for the week:
Jonathan Alter: Unleashing the furies of the dark side of American politics, perhaps risking some peoples lives if things get out of control. All of that is out the window in the service of winning an election.
Tried to embed the video, perhaps someone can do it, video at the link.
In this regard, the most egregious comment of all was uttered by Governor of Kansas Kathleen Sebelius, who when asked why Sen. Obama was trailing in the polls, stated: “have any of you noticed that Barack Obama is part African-American?” (here )
Such a remark is reprehensible coming from a public official responsible for the welfare of her state. Would she incite racial antagonism in her state in order that a fellow Democrat could achieve high office? How about racial conflict if that candidate were to lose the election? In my view, such remarks are a dereliction of duty and the basis of impeachment. One can only hope that in the future, Ms. Sebelius is opposed in a primary election by a Black candidate; whereupon, one would presume she would automatically concede defeat, unless she is, of course, a racist.

I wonder how many people actually subscribe to or buy Newsweak. I’d be willing to bet their reader base is comprised mainly of drive by media types and doctor’s offices.
