The Teflon President.2

Finding evidence for Steve Sailer's recent observation, Charles Krauthammer observes how the MSM has adopted a curious position with regard to Barack Obama's association with the Rev. Wright:

As National Review's Byron York has pointed out, when Clinton supporter Lanny Davis said on CNN that it is "legitimate" for her to have remarked "that she personally would not put up with somebody who says that 9/11 are chickens who come home to roost" or the kind of "generic comments [Wright] made about white America," Anderson Cooper, the show's host and alleged moderator, interjected that since "we all know what the [Wright] comments were," he found it "amazing" and "funny" that Davis should "feel the need to repeat them over and over again."

Davis protested, "It's appropriate." Time magazine's Joe Klein promptly smacked Davis down with "Lanny, Lanny, you're spreading the -- you're spreading the poison right now," and then suggested that an "honorable person" would "stay away from this stuff."

Amazing. We've gone beyond moral equivalence to moral inversion. It is now dishonorable to even make note of Wright's bigotry and ask how any man -- let alone a man on the threshold of the presidency -- could associate himself for 20 years with the purveyor of such hate.

This is all going to end up as somebody's doctoral thesis on the psychodynamics of the mainstream media. Anyway, this is an indication of the kind of coverage President Obama will likely receive from the MSM, on which liberal guilt will work like Kryptonite.
