Dirt Off the Shoulders

Washington Post staff writer Teresa Wiltz, in Obama Has Jay-Z on his IPod and the Moves To Prove It, writes of Obama's hip-hop acumen with his adept shoulder brush in fending off the nonsense perpetrated last Thursday in Philadelphia by Charlie Gibson and George Stephanopoulos. Wiltz also points out the cultural ignorance of numbnuts MSNBC host Joe Scarborough and Washington Post columnist Richard Cohen. The clueless Scarborough said: "We looked at each other and said, 'What's he doing?" Cohen termed the gesture "contemptuous and aloof." Both are sorely in need of late passes.
