Rev. Wright refuses one-way ticket to STFU-ville

Available to host your next concession speech.

Rev. Jeremiah Wright, now retired, took questions this morning at a loose, funny appearance at the National Press Club. He said black churches were "invisible to the dominant culture." Yesterday, Wright spoke to an audience of 10,000 at a NAACP event. Over the weekend, he appeared on Bill Moyer's Journal to defend himself after being reduced to inflammatory, cable news soundbites for the past month.

What is your impression of the unedited Rev. Wright?

He is probably not a Lynyrd Skynyrd fan.

Or a "Flavor of Love" fan.

Similar in cadence to my impression of Chris Rock, which is spot-on, according to my black friend.

Oh, god, my black friend secretly hates me.
