As a public service, Blogenberg is launching The AEWP (Another Enlightened White Person) alert. One was spotted on Fox News Channel. Bob Beckel, ubiquitous Democratic strategist, was asked why it is, seemingly, that comedians, satirists, etc. are hesitant to make jokes about Barack Obama. “One, he’s black and I can say that as a liberal,” was Beckel’s response.

On the Blogenberg AEWP meter this rates a double wow, as in Wow, I didn’t realize that liberals are issued a “Free to talk about black people” card and Wow, since I tend to lean conservative on a lot of issues — and I don’t have one of those cards — I must now refer to my wife and children as, I don’t know, I guess by saying, “They are my family but I am white and they are not, and I can say that because I’m not a liberal.”
