FLASHPOINT for Sep 16, 2007

Sunday, Sept. 16, 2007 | 1:28 a.m.

The candidates are making it hard to take the presidential race seriously just yet. The battle over who is the change agent in the Democratic primary is quite a spectacle but hardly illuminating. And the entrance of an actor into the GOP primary is exciting only because the race so far has been exquisitely uninteresting. Iraq posturing, health care plan evanescence and economic blather. It's so exciting! But wait. Substance has arrived in the form of Democratic hopeful Bill Richardson, who managed to achieve the most ridiculous news release in a season of them by comparing the New England Patriots spying scandal to the warrantless wiretapping debate. I would like to tell you that I am kidding. But, alas, I am not.
