Rumor has it that the Clintons have something to do with the erratic behavior of Reverend Wright. Of course The Daily Show has the most entertaining view of Reverend Wright’s behavior:
Errol Louis at the New York Daily News points out that his appearance at the Press Club was orchestrated by avid Clinton supporter, Barbara Reynolds. In fact at this link to his article Barbara Reynolds is shown sitting next to Reverend Wright and speaking to him just before he rose to speak.
In addition, on Morning Joe today Joe Scarborough said to his sidekick Mika Brzezinski something like, “You think the Clintons paid him off don’t you?” Her response was, “Don’t put words in my mouth.”
In light of the unpredictable nature of Jeremiah Wright’s recent comments and the fact that he basically threw long time parishioner Barack Obama under the bus his motivation is certainly in question.
Barack Obama responded today:

Not sure what is problem is. He seems inconsistent. Still, has anyone looked at John McCain’s ‘pastor’ problem in the form of John Hagee? He believes that New Orleans deserved it’s destruction by Hurricane Katrina because a gay pride rally was schedule on the Monday after the hurricane hit.

I have the dial up blues….
What has Rev Wright done?

Now, let’s see just how long the MSM keeps this story going.

As long as the “New Britney Spears” Jeremiah Wright can command the media attention, the less the media will focus on the shady dealings of the Clintons and the incompetencies of John McCain.

Maybe this is why such a young man is retiring? I’ll check the link soon — studying now.

This was another set-up just like the PA debate. This media is nothing but “yellow” journalism.
April 29, 2008 at 2:58 pm
Exactly, and everything the Clintons say is off topic is dropped and somebody gets fired but they rail over and over about Obama.

Clinton is going on O’Reilly tonight.
Which one of you brave souls is going to report on that. I would but I don’t think my stomach could handle it…I would be puking bile for weeks to come.
THIS is to be a democratic nominee? Just say you’re a fucking gooper and be done with it.
I. Am. Disgusted.

Whoops, that would be TOMORROW night. My bad.
This is Fox’s schedule tonight:

MsJ – See… Rev Wright is the “New Britney Spears”.
April 29, 2008 at 3:41 pm
Lady Z, sent you an email….Blessings
April 29, 2008 at 3:57 pm
Sorry MJ, I can’t break my record of having never watched one episode of O’Reilly. It will be on You Tube the next day though.
April 29, 2008 at 4:17 pm
OT, again.
How about the difference between Clinton and Obama on Child Care?
A good read.
April 29, 2008 at 4:28 pm
OT, sorry……It’s hailing here again….Crap I choose this long damn winter to go away…..Hope you all are warm and dry…The Bear and I are soaked and frozen…Gonna climb under the quilt’s and read a book…Blessings and sunshine…
April 29, 2008 at 4:37 pm
Here’s one from the New York Times
April 29, 2008 at 4:45 pm
Somehow I doubt the Bear is as cold as you are #1. But I bet he’s really good at warming you up!
April 29, 2008 at 5:04 pm
He’s to big for my bed Shayne, he get’s the 6ft. couch instead…LOL..Blessings all
April 29, 2008 at 5:30 pm
My 20 lb. Jack Russell is too big for the bed because he has to sleep on my legs all the time so I understand what you mean.

I do think this is hurting Obama, but he says it’s fair game.
Can you imagine if ANYTHING like this was coming at Hillary? Bill would be crying foul, jacking up the refs, wailing and gnashing teeth.
Obama is just going to keep pushing it away with dignity and aplomb. I hope the voters see that.
April 29, 2008 at 5:52 pm
Today on MSNBC they were talking about how Hillary gets away with saying that’s unfair every time they mention some subject she doesn’t like and they drop it. It must be good to be the Queen.
April 29, 2008 at 5:55 pm
In 2004, we learned that the Vietnam War was still being fought
In 2008, it looks like the Civil War is still being fought…..

While I am in an off topic mood…
Hey, how about a musical parody on foreclosures? Glad you asked!
Yahoo reports that one in 56 homes in Nevada have received foreclosure notices.

When Hillary starts shouting “not fair” she sounds like Dick Cheney.
