CLEAR CHANNEL LOVES OBAMA

This item from Robert Feder is much more disturbing than any of Lynn Sweet's travelgate stories:

Three Clear Channel Radio stations are sending U.S. Senator-elect Barack Obama off to Washington with a party fit for a political rock star. WGCI-FM (107.5), WVAZ-FM (102.7) and WGRB-AM (1390) will sponsor the star-studded celebration from 5:30 to 8 p.m. Dec. 30 in the grand ballroom of the Hyatt Regency Chicago.

Hosting the bash will be WGCI's "Crazy" Howard McGee; V-103's Ramonski Luv, Joe Soto and Roy "Tornado" Little, and Gospel Radio 1390's John Hannah. All three stations will broadcast live from the site, starting at 2 p.m.

"As a U.S. senator, Mr. Obama will be at the forefront of issues affecting African Americans in this country [and] more importantly, issues affecting African Americans in Illinois," said Angela Ingram, the three outlets' station manager.

Of course, if I should receive an invite to this shindig, my faith could be restored.
