After all these years, it's still the case that random right wing nutcases on the internets just have to bring something up and the press will decide that there's "buzz" about something that we must spend
2 weeks talking about. So if there's a new "controversy" about whether Barack Obama once used a highway rest stop that four years earlier had been used by some convicted black murderer, we'll spend a couple of weeks discussing whether this new "Reverend Wright" is Obama's Katrina. Or whatever.
