A blog about television by TIME’s TV critic James Poniewozik.
Obama's Pre-View
If you can't wait for the most important interview of the 2008 election—Barack Obama, tomorrow morning on The View—preview clips have been posted on abc.com. In the three snippets, he (very briefly) discusses Rev. Jeremiah Wright, how to handle campaign attacks, and his distant relation, Brad Pitt. Not much news for politics junkies—well, I didn't know about the Pitt thing—but anything to close that gender gap.
Warning: embedded ads are involved. And if you happen to see the one for light Philadelphia cream cheese—in which a woman wearing wings in Heaven praises the reduced-fat spread—a question: why does a dead person need to worry about her fat intake?
