The big political story of the day is that Jesse Jackson was in range of a live mic while complaining about Barack Obama to a friend.

Can that possibly be true in the nation of Washington, Lincoln, and Jefferson? In a time of war, terrorism and economic crisis? On a day when core Constitutional rights were weakened by the signing of a bill which virtually eliminates the Fourth Amendment? And even if you go with the media you have, in the midst of a week when John McCain reveals he doesn't know anything about Social Security, and his top economic adviser calls the entire country a bunch of whiners for not being able to afford food and gas...



...can the BIG POLITICAL STORY OF THE DAY possibly be a guy caught on a live mic?

Isn't everybody ashamed of themselves yet?
