Evidence scant that Wright hurt Obama much in Ind., N.C.

AP   |  ALAN FRAM   |   May 8, 2008


WASHINGTON — The reaction _ or lack of it _ by Indiana and North Carolina voters to the Rev. Jeremiah Wright's incendiary comments emphasizes how deeply entrenched the racial lines of support are for the two Democratic presidential rivals. It...

The Stupidest Man in America

Robert J. Elisberg | Posted May 8, 2008 | Politics


Robert J. Elisberg

For the past week, I'm been trying to come up with a topper, but I haven't been able to. The competition for "Most Stupid" is fierce, but after Tuesday #1 remains untouched.

No, George Bush doesn't make that lofty height. Sure, appearing on TV game shows, dancing and doing comedy...

Hillary's $6.4 Million is a Wise Investment, for 2012

Richard Gizbert | Posted May 7, 2008 | Politics


Richard Gizbert

This is not really a case, as some have suggested, of throwing good money after bad.

Hillary Clinton's decision to dump another $6.4 million into her lifeless campaign actually makes an odd and devious kind of sense. Because for her the end game is no longer November, it's 2012....

Study: Media Covered Wright More Than Clinton Last Week

Politico   |  Michael Calderone   |   May 6, 2008 02:48 PM


Rev. Jeremiah Wright's appearance at the National Press Club last week definitely pushed him back into the spotlight. Last week he "generated more news than both Hillary Clinton and John McCain," according to a new study by the Project for...

Who Are You Calling a Tabloid?

Lara Cohen

Working at Us Weekly, I've become accustomed to accusations of sensationalism in celebrity journalism - some of which are not entirely untrue. Sure, we "flooded the zone" with Britney's breakdown, our Hills coverage has been prolific, and we do treat most flash-in-the-pan Hollywood hookups with breathless gusto. Us has been...

Obama Proposes Gas-bag Holiday

Andy Borowitz | Posted May 5, 2008 | Politics


Andy Borowitz

After a week in which a chorus of television pundits talked about the Rev. Wright controversy ad nauseam, Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama introduced a proposal today to silence such repetitious discussions.

"I am proposing a gas-bag holiday," Sen. Obama told a capacity crowd in Indianapolis. "Under my plan, all...

Clyburn: Wright Is "Knee-Capping" Obama

Washington Post's The Trail   |  Jonathan Weisman   |   May 2, 2008 09:48 AM


For a Democratic superdelegate who is officially still unaligned, House Majority Whip James Clyburn (S.C.) is sounding more and more like a Barack Obama fan. In an interview today, Clyburn blasted the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Obama's former pastor, but he...

In the aftermath of the Reverend Wright tornado, many of Barack Obama's most ardent supporters have begun to feel a bit of trepidation, a kind of uncertainty that is deeply unsettling. What was easily the most trying week for the Obama campaign appeared to follow a week that was nearly...

The Morning After: Obama Aide Still Pressed On Wright

HuffingtonPost.com   |  Jason Linkins   |   April 30, 2008 12:10 PM


What's a campaign to do when there's a need to put a controversy behind them? If you're the Obama camp, and you want to maybe have a conversation this month that doesn't include seventeen questions about the Reverend Jeremiah Wright,...

The Political Media Freakshow: What Went Wrong?

John McQuaid | Posted April 30, 2008 | Media


John McQuaid

With so much at stake -- Iraq, the economy, global warming -- how is it the presidential campaign descended into a parade of irrelevancies? The media know better. Is there is anyone working for a media organization (new, traditional, left, right) who genuinely believes that Jeremiah Wright's views on HIV,...

Obama De-friends Wright on Facebook

Andy Borowitz | Posted April 30, 2008 | Politics


Andy Borowitz

In an act that campaign insiders said indicated an irrevocable break with his former pastor, Sen. Barack Obama today de-friended the Rev. Jeremiah Wright on Facebook.

Sen. Obama's comments about Rev. Wright on Tuesday seemed to indicate that a total rift with his former minister was underway, but his decision...

Wrighteous Indignation

Dylan Loewe | Posted April 30, 2008 | Politics


Dylan Loewe

At a press conference yesterday afternoon, Barack Obama publicly divorced himself from his former pastor, calling Jeremiah Wright's controversial comments inexcusable rants, destructive, outrageous and appalling. Obama appeared to take the appropriate tone and has received, thus far, mostly positive reviews throughout the blogosphere and in the mainstream media.

Excuse Me, But I Have Something To Say About the Reverend Wright Scandal

David Rees | Posted April 29, 2008 | Politics


David Rees

Excuse me, but I have something to say about the Reverend Wright scandal.

Hello? Maybe you didn't hear me: I said, I have something to say about the Reverend Wright scandal.

"Reverend Who," you ask? Reverend Wright. (Maybe they're not covering him in your media market?) He's a goofball who...

Barack Ends His Relationship With Reverend Wright

Steven G. Brant | Posted April 29, 2008 | Politics


Steven G. Brant

Barack Obama has just done a difficult - and necessary - thing. He has ended his relationship with Rev. Wright. I watched most of Sen. Obama's press conference (missed the very beginning but heard most of his opening remarks and all the questions he took) and am now listening to...

Reverend Wright's Wrong Timing

Janet Ritz | Posted April 29, 2008 | Politics


Janet Ritz

I do not presume to judge anyone else's method of worship. I do know bad timing when I see it and Reverend Jeremiah Wright's pre-primary media blitz seems designed, unintentionally or not, to benefit John McCain, while distracting from the real issues of the campaign (four-dollar gasoline, war, recession, health...

I'm Wright and You're Not: Is He One of the Pharisees Who Will Not Abide the Popularity of the Upstart?

Blake Fleetwood | Posted April 29, 2008 | Media


Blake Fleetwood

Tune in today to the Latest Talking Head.

Obama and the media, particularly those who welcome his new low impact politics, could (and should) be applauding Rev. Wright's very public testing of one of the most celebrated and quintessentially American rights of this great country of ours: the freedom of...

Obama's 'Sister Souljah Moment'

Catherine Crier | Posted April 29, 2008 | Politics


Catherine Crier

Harken back to June, 1992. Bill Clinton was having trouble with Reagan democrats. Then Sister Souljah, an outspoken rapper and political activist, made some very incendiary comments in a Washington Post interview regarding the horrific LA riots. "If black people kill black people every day, why not have a week...

Obama Addresses Wright's Press Club Remarks

NY Times' The Caucus   |  Jeff Zeleny   |   April 28, 2008 06:14 PM


If it was not clear before today, Senator Barack Obama said, it should be clear now: his presidential campaign has no control over what the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr., his former pastor, says or does. "I think certainly what...
