While I was (and am) all in favor of getting rid of that old corrupt format, I surely miss the likes Brown who always provided plenty and more for political junkies like me and for comedians. Want evidence? Read this excerpt from his Willie's World at the SF Chronicle:
Thanks to Sarah Palin, this is no longer a contest between Barack Obama and John McCain - it's between Brother Barack and Sistah Sarah.
Rock star vs. rock star.
Inexperienced vs. inexperienced.
Newcomer vs. newcomer.
Change vs. change.
His "change" is East Coast intellectual. Her "change" is NASCAR.
His change is wine and cheese. Her change is mayonnaise by the gallon.
And notice how everyone is calling her Sarah Palin - not Gov. Palin. That's not good for the Democrats. It shows a certain familiarity that goes beyond just issues or her knowledge of the "Bush Doctrine."
Heck, even I didn't know what the Bush Doctrine was when Charlie Gibson asked her about it the other night on her first national TV interview.
