Rangel's dazed and on the ropes. Will something sensible happen? Cause you know what, Charlie gotta go.




WINNERS

Whoopie, Sherri and The View (WSTV) 2.13 +1.88 +88.26%

Ignore what you're hearing about Obama's appearing on the morning talks show being "un-presidential", that's just sexism. We give it up to The View for asking in the kind of questions we'd expect from the news media -- well, most of the questions at least (Snookie?... c'mon).




LOSERS

Black Media (AAM) 22.69 -5.1 -18.35%

Essence magazine hires a white editor and people lose their shit. Oddly, it's the most relevant thing to happen to the magazine, or black media in general, in what seems like a long while.

Wow. So Wyclef Jean is thinking of taking a page out of Manny Pacquiao's book by considering a run of public office, in Jean's case President. We tried to be cynical, but how could he be worse than the guys who've run the island nation before?

While The Playlist may have approached the news with the general Internet snark, we're looking forward to director Barry Jenkins' take on the Will Eisner classic "A Contract With God.

If you need any more indication that the political right is willing to stoop to about anything to make Shirley Sherrod seem like a liar, we point you to an article that wrongly makes the argument that the former USDA official misrepresented her father's murder when she called it a "lynching".

Russia elected a black guy to office. Russia -- where there are like, eight black people. The world is changing.
