Rev. Wright Complains 0 'Threw Me Under the Bus'
2010-05-18
The Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Barack Obama's controversial ex-pastor, threw a hissy fit in a letter to an African aid group, claiming that the president "threw me under the bus" and the White House views him as "toxic," in a missive obtained by the Associated Press.
Couldn't have happened to a finer demagogue. Speech may be free, but it has consequences, whether the speaker likes it or not. I wonder if Wright will ever figure that one out.

#4  The O-Team was cool with all the Rev's Marxist Anti-American rants. They were a little uncomfortable with the racist stuff but were still willing to spin it off. Wright wasn't cast aside until he spoke of the One as if he were a mere mortal.

“It went down very simply. He's a politician, I'm a pastor. We speak to two different audiences. And he says what he has to say as a politician. I say what I have to say as a pastor. But they're two different worlds. I do what I do. He does what politicians do.”

The next day:
Watch out for the Drive shaft Jeremiah!

#3  White House views him as "toxic waste,"

Just thought I'd throw it in for good measure.

""I am 'radioactive,' Sir. When Obama threw me under the bus, he threw me under the bus literally! he wrote...""

a classic misuse of the word 'literally'
