In our latest podcast, downloadable from iTunes here, you can listen as Marc Ambinder and I discuss the great "cling" controversy.

Please tell the powers that be that the shift away from offering a direct MP3 link is really quite irritating. I would strongly prefer not to use iTunes and do not have access to it at work.

Judging from the polls, there's at least some possibility that the whole controversy over Obama's comments will remain an elite phenomenon. It's still early, but it looks like the voters have thus far refused to take instruction from their media betters and get offended over this kerfuffle.

So it's bizarre to me that you and Ambinder are still so cocksure about the potential implications here.

Thank you, John.

Ross, don't take this personally, but if Peter Beinart at TNR sounds like "Kermit the Frog" or "Bert from Sesame Street", then you're channelling Tom Lehrer.
