Obama said that he is cutting all ties with Wright because it's just a distraction, and Wright is making a spectacle of himself and creating the distraction now, rather than the pundits turning him into a distraction.
Can we get a vow that we don't have to hear about it anymore, so we are no longer distracted? I believe the empire is crumbling.

I've listened to several of Pat Condell's rants on YouTube.
They're amusing.
I would compare him to Christopher Hitchens, both in the sense that he has a great way with words and an amusingly relentless manner of delivering them. But unfortunately also like Hitshens, if you're the kind that bothers to actually analyze the reasoning behind the words, you'll find that a great deal of it is crap, of the AM radio variety. You might agree with his conclusions, but the line of reason he takes to get there is shotty.
It's a fun ride all the same for those who enjoy letting go of their critical facilities in order to be immersed in the music of choir.

Three Rev Wright stories?
Beating a dead horse much?
If Obama is Schultz, then which Nazi is Hillary? Col. Klink perhaps? ANd given his time in captivity, McCain is hogan of course.

New sunglasses notwithstanding, Mr. Condell isn't nearly as clever as people have apparently been telling him. I read more interesting posts on OGM on a regular basis.
