The comments by 'Jay Blanc' have to constitute one of the most stupendously ignorant posts I have ever read. First, one wonders on what basis does he assert that the story is '... phoney ...'? We no more know that it is phony than we know it is correct. Second, how does the story relate only to '... the [b]lack candidate ...'; I thought the story was that both Cheney and Obama were related. Third, how, by any bizarre stretch of anyone's imagination, does anything about this story constitute '... unthinking racism ...'? Jay Blanc should grow up.
