Thanks And Praise

I tried to avoid too much news last week but should say I found the Blagoyevich story as rich as most people seemed to. I will not, however, express shock, for that would be silly. And frankly, I don't see the connection to Obama or the inevitable "distraction" not being guilty of anything requires in media-land. Meanwhile, Christopher Buckley captures the core truth:

Thank heavens Mr. Fitzgerald has given us another juicy political crisis to keep our mind off bailouts, the greatest economic crisis since the depression, and our wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. For a minute there, it looked we were might have to concentrate on The Big Picture. How much more diverting to focus on the villainy of a potty-mouthed Illinois pol. He manages to make Rahm Emmanuel sound like an altar boy.
