Great stuff from Matt Taibbi in Rolling Stone.
(T)he very first response of the entire national media apparatus was to denounce (Rev.) Wright as a kind of living disease and shriekingly demand that Obama do the same.
These controversial occasions, it should be said, are favorites of the national punditry. They offer an opportunity for slothlike, couchbound columnists everywhere to dress themselves up in white-hot outrage and to pen long accusatory columns in a tone suggesting that all contentment and happiness in their lives will henceforth be impossible until the offending agent is fully and completely shunned by society.
Taibbi's right; the next thing we know Obama will be accused of ... never mind.
