This was inevitable.  I would say it’s about time, but that would imply that Barack Obama spent the last 20 years at Trinity and didn’t know it was a showcase for black-power, white-conspiracy rhetoric.  (Cue Claude Rains shouting “I’m shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!”) 

I don’t blame Jeremiah Wright for the controversy - I blame Barack Obama.  As much of a pinhead as he is, Jeremiah Wright does what he does and makes no excuses.  It’s Obama who’s now running from the consequences of his actions.

Let’s hope that between this and the somewhat overlooked McCain/Hagee brouhaha that our presidential candidates will start to focus on the issues and quit trying to impress us with their “I’m a church-goin’ man (or woman)” baloney.  Say what you will about Hillary’s mistakes, at least she’s only made watery, vague pronouncements about her “faith walk” and hasn’t dredged up some sectarian grandee who’s bound to start pissing people off.
