OMG did you hear what colored people are up to “in their churches”? Well let’s have one more moment of comic/feigned outrage over what those uppity black people are saying, as the Jeremiah Wright “scandal” will be the closest any of you white people ever get to a black church. Also, uh, this is what the fancy New York magazine Vanity Fair does these days: “Mash ups” of copyrighted video from The Simpsons and the entire two minutes of Reverend Wright’s wacky history of sermons, which so far we’ve yet to hear a single person, you know, make any sort of coherent argument against.

Second, in response to our question about the hotness of Josh McCoy, Ben Wilmoth’s unofficial campaign manager, we received a photograph of Josh. You can check it out after the jump.
Finally, even though their candidate didn’t win, we have to give a Wonkette salute to the supporters of Emily House. “Team Emily” came up with the most innovative and creative campaign by far. Check out their blog here, their new T-shirt design here, and their latest campaign video here:
