 When importing an RSS feed that uses the <description> tag as opposed to
 <content:encoded>, I noticed that WP's RSS import doesn't strip the CDATA
 tags as it does for the <content:encoded>.

 =========Code Lines (83-87)===============
 {{{
 if (!$post_content) {
 // This is for feeds that put content in description
 preg_match('|<description>(.*?)</description>|is', $post, $post_content);
 $post_content =
 $wpdb->escape($this->unhtmlentities(trim($post_content[1])));
 }
 }}}
 =====================================

 I tweaked the code to solve the problem (see below)

 ==========Tweaked Code===============

 {{{
 if (!$post_content) {
 // This is for feeds that put content in description
 preg_match('|<description>(.*?)</description>|is', $post, $post_content);
 $post_content = str_replace(array ('<![CDATA[', ']]>'),
 '',$wpdb->escape($this->unhtmlentities(trim($post_content[1]))));
 }
 }}}

 ======================================

 I'd be happy to submit a patch, except I'm not quite that savvy yet. It
 would be great it someone could incorporate it. Thanks.
