      What strikes me the most about this clip is Brad Blakeman.  There is rarely a time when he sounds sensible.  He was even one of those who tried to drum up controversy around then-Senator Barack Obama visiting his sick grandmother in the middle of the campaign last year.  So when he not only sounds sensible during an interview, but is even disgusted that some people would go this far to use the Swine Flu to scare their listeners, it's very telling.
