#2 Still, the GOP leaders prefer to go against Hillary.

#3 This kind of maneuver worked for Hillary. She was taking lots of heat going in to the South Carolina primary. She didn't have a prayer of winning that election. So, Bill went in and made some incredibly stupid remarks in the hopes that it would take the harsh glaring media attention off her and on to good old Bill. It worked very nicely for her. She lost South Carolina as expected but was able to restart her engine in later state primaries. Could Rev. Wright be attempting the same sort of manipulation for Obama? If he is, it doesn't seem to be working as well. Too much of the critical attention is staying stuck on Obama. Nobody has a teflon suit like Bill.

#4 I read it here. It's all part of a plan Karl Rove would admire. rev. Wrong goes over the top, B.O. sez "We're finished", and he looks more like a heroic, principled, unifier again.

#5 Wright has, unquestionably, been caricatured and vilified unfairly. The feeding programs, prison outreach and other social services he has built over more than 30 years are commendable

And the Hitler Youth had great outreach programs for German children.

#6 I'm sure Strength through Joy had a lot to commend it.

#8 Is Jeremiah Wright a colossal disaster for Barack Obama or a press trick?

The Rev. Jeremiah Wright's Poop is way Sticky and is Klinging to BO.

I don't think even Karl could Scrub the Stink Off BO in Time....

#10 The first sentence is misleading: he couldn't have done more damage to Obama because he did as much damage as he possibly could.

Grape jello today - with fruit bits. After that, you can play shuffleboard.

#13 if it was a press trick, it was a pretty impressive smoke and mirrors to deflect from the revelation that hillary is such a psychotic, compulsive liar that she actually believed that she could lie about landing in sniper fire and that no one would think that was just too creepy to eliminate you for the most powerful position in the world.
