Wow. ECB is taking her marching orders from Sean Hannity now? http://www.breitbart.tv/html/61534.html

ECB has become increasingly shrill and bitter, now resorting to bald-faced lies and misdirection in an effort to justify her unwavering support for this ticket. At what point does she cease to be a journalist and become just another noisemaker on a blog?

Why is Erica so desperately lashing out for Hillary? This is worse than her Stephanie Pure crush. Her credibility is in tatters.

Obama does have more Jebus than Clinton. And, he did get his Jebus from Wright. To wit:

"You need to come to church precisely because you are of this world, not apart from it; you need to embrace Christ precisely because you have sins to wash away - because you are human and need an ally in your difficult journey.

It was because of these newfound understandings that I was finally able to walk down the aisle of Trinity United Church of Christ one day and affirm my Christian faith. It came about as a choice, and not an epiphany; the questions I had did not magically disappear. But kneeling beneath that cross on the South Side of Chicago, I felt I heard God's spirit beckoning me. I submitted myself to his will, and dedicated myself to discovering His truth."

I can understand a Stephanie Pure crush!

Erica knows she exaggerates, but once we have a nominee, she is going to unite with the rest of the party. Even if she finds herself supporting a guy who doesn't meet the minimum threshold to be president. I'm sure her explanation for why she likes the unqualified guy will be as logical as ever.

Alternatively, couldn't Obama just go on and on running against both Hillary and McCain? Since it's basically working? He could run as the man best able to save America from Hillary. And then Erica could keep doing what she does best.

So let me get this straight - Obama is trying to distance himself from his own Pastor? The one who's on his own African American Religious Leadership Committee?

What kind of fucked up narrative is that?

@7 - Yes, ECB will come up with a convoluted rationalization for why she supports Obama, but hey ... perhaps, if she restricts her Obama advocacy to crowds of other Clinton supporters similarly seeking to be talked into supporting the guy they happily piss on now, some good will come out of the whole affair. There will be a place for her brand of delusion.

@6 - well, Stephanie is hot, but ECB ain't sliced bread either ... even if she's mean and spiteful nowadays ...

@10: re ECB, beauty is only skin-deep.

Don't pay attention to those haters, Erica. You are totally right on. Thanks for reporting on something that otherwise would've been passed by.

The only reason Erica is in the position she's in is because she's black.

I'm sorry, alan and elenchos, what did ECB exaggerate or lie about?

Senetor Obama better not start reaching out more for the Jewish vote, his pastor would not like it!
