Double Standard

Are you fed up with the double-standard whereby a black candidate has to answer for the words and deeds of all his or her past associates while white candidates get a pass? I was going to write something about the media storm surrounding Reverend Jeremiah Wright and the absence of scrutiny given to McCain associates like Reverend John Hagee. But Frank Rich beat me to it, in a Sunday column that says everything I wanted to say and more. Instead of reading a lesser-written analysis from me, I urge you to read Rich’s piece and share it broadly.
