Fleeing Thoughts: The Overexposed

-The Reverend Jeremiah Wright, Jr, (you know who he is, you haven't been sleeping through this election cycle, as much as you may have wanted to) appeared on PBS to have an hour long chat with Bill Moyers. While it did have it's interesting moments, such as when Moyers and Wrights previously crossed paths in the '60s while waiting for President Johnson's anesthetic to wear off (long story...see, Wright was in the Army and...oh, just find out for yourself...), Wright, like a good politician, was evasive with some answers, or perhaps just didn't have a good answer to some questions. Either way, while he has every right to do explain what he's all about, it didn't necessarily do the Presidential contender from the South Side any favors to have the issue of the "controversial pastor" brought to light again. The Rev may be overexposing himself.

-Drew Peterson, suspected of killing not one, but two wives, was on yet another TV show the other week, trying to influence the potential jury pool that may one day decide whether he's guilty of not one, but two capital offenses. Me thinks he doth protest too much. Peterson has been on too many "news" programs for me to remember how many appearances he's made (and I'll readily admit I haven't the stomach to watch him on any of them), yet on this last outing he claimed his children are sick and bored with the media invasion. Well, then stop acting bizarrely around the media when they come calling and for God's sake, stop showing up on every program that will have you. The man suspected of murdering not one, but two wives, is overexposed.
