2008 Will We Ever Be Rid of This Meddlesome Priest?
posted by August 13 at 9:54 AM
onJeremiah Wright is a pastor, technically, and not a priest. But still:
The reigning cliché of this election year—that we are in uncharted waters here, without either map or compass—has never been more apt than when it comes to the question of race. In October, Obama’s former pastor, Wright, will publish a new book and hit the road to promote it, an occasion that might well place the topic of Obama’s blackness (along with his patriotism and his candor about what he heard in the pews in all those years at Trinity Church) squarely at the center of the national debate. How Obama handles that moment may determine whether he becomes the next occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
Ugh. More at New York.

Supposedly, he isn't:

I plead the fifth on where the link originated.
whatta dick. He's so greedy he can't wait to publish on 11/5?
Is Wright trying to get more people to say how right he is about everything, or is he out to do another "Jackson Live Mic" and say how bad Obama's been towards Black People? To Be a dick or Not Be a dick, that is the question.
We won't support spine-less NO-Bama and will re-defeat him in November!!! Go Hillary 2012.
Some people are all about themselves.
Which, as you can expect, I have empathy for.
But this is almost as sad as the clueless clintonssouthernarmy.
Google "clintonsarmy" and "-slog". Slog's spam filters won't let me post the results.
Suffice it to say they make the word "we" in @4 seem, well, a stretch. Army of one?
Yeah. Damn that Wright, for not appreciating all Obama's done for him! What a turncoat. Doesn't Wright know the value of loyalty??
OK, let me be more clear in regard to @1, since no one will probably follow my link anyway. Wright's daughter, speaking on behalf of Wright who is in an African country with spotty internet access, says she spoke with her father and he denies that he's publishing a book in October. Wright will issue a denial when he has better internet access.
@7: Somehow I imagine a similar book by, say, Patti Solis-Doyle would have you singing a different, yet equally self-serving and annoying tune.
the swift boat fucks just published their book of bullshit on BHO. and it will be at #1 on the NYT bestseller list this sunday.
they just pugged their bullshit machine back in and flipped the switch. this country is a disgrace to the Enlightenment.
Thank you, PopTart! Now, let us see if anyone will pay attention.
Gosh I hope you're right Poptart. 'Cause if not, well, what an ass. Couldn't he keep it in his pants for like two months?
