Curious.

From the Associated Press:
Former KKK member endorses Obama

WASHINGTON - Senator Robert Byrd, a former member of the Ku Klux Klan and a one-time opponent of civil rights legislation, is endorsing Barack Obama for the Democratic presidential nomination.

Not that I find it particularly noteworthy that Senator Robert "Sheets" Byrd endorsed Obama. What I find completely jaw-dropping is that a member of the drive-by media actually acknowledged democrat Robert Byrd's past stint as a KKK Kleagle.

What this unprecedented Hillary-Obama hatchet fight has allowed us to witness is the drive-by media's uncomfortable situation of having to pick sides between two liberal democrats; forcing them to inevitably eat their own in the process.

If nothing else, this current election cycle is making for some grand and glorious theatre.
