The Mayoral Pander-Fest: The Video

I wrote earlier about the Democratic Mayoral forum before the Washington Interfaith Network - well here's the video from the Post.

WARNING: This video contains graphic displays of truly pathetic, mindless pandering. Viewer discretion is advised.

UPDATE (10:37 am) - Apparently this moment was too disturbing even for The Post to show:

There's one last admonition for the candidates from the Rev. Christine Wiley, a fiery speaker from Covenant Baptist Church: "Don't try to figure out if there's money left over to do the things we want you to do. Take the money from the top."

The candidates see the crowd rise as one, chanting, "Take the money from the top! Take the money from the top!" And then congregants and candidates alike are swaying to a hymn that almost everyone seems to know, "We Have Come This Far by Faith."
