Someone give Soledad a new factoid, please

I've been flipping among networks watching the inaugural coverage all day, and at LEAST six times that I've landed on CNN I've tuned in just as CNN's Soledad O'Brien has noted that African-Americans were counted as "3/5 of a person" in the Constitution originally.  At one point, she said it two or three times in just a few minutes. 

Other than that, I don't think she said anything all day.  Please, someone email her a new civic factoid before this observation becomes a permanent neurological tic.

It's annoying on this side of the pond too.

Hi Rita,

With CNN particularly, or with your own home-grown talking heads?
