McCain's Phil Gramm is Worse than Obama's Rev. Wright
You have a foolish, self-promoting pastor or you have an out of touch, let-them-eat cake, arrogant advisor and official surrogate and spokesperson who insults Americans. Which is worse?

Here's what I don't get. Why didn't God just yell down, "Hey Jews, go back to Israel! Don't make me create some guy named Hitler to kill you and then, in a very roundabout way, make whoever is left go to Israel. Or Florida."

Plenty of politicians like to have a brush with a war zone on their resumes, but some know that their encounters with the victims of war were a much larger issue than whatever personal peril they might have encountered.

This week, the Rev. Wright circus came back to town, and the media reacted like a giddy five year-old, giving his clownish act -- and Obama's acrobatic effort to avoid falling off the high wire -- wall-to-wall coverage. Getting far less airtime was the fact that April was the deadliest month in Iraq for US troops since September 2007. Fittingly, we also saw the 5th anniversary of "Mission Accomplished" -- which produced the quote of the week from Dana Perino: "President Bush is well aware that the banner should have been much more specific and said mission accomplished for these sailors who are on this ship on their mission." I'm surprised she didn't tack on "...for the next five seconds; after that, all bets are off."

Here is my advice to CNN each week, before allowing Ann Coulter to be a pundit on the network: READ HER COLUMN.

What if we were to disqualify all candidates with ties to delusional religious folks? A politician should not be held accountable for the views of every author he has read or every preacher he has heard.

It's Showtime for Obama and while this isn't the Apollo, his critics can be an equally cruel crowd of onlookers as they try to chide and boo him off the political stage.

Chief Obama strategist David Axelrod said that Sen. Obama had to de-friend the Rev. Wright on Facebook "because he was getting really annoying."

This was the brilliant plan. An angry, forceful Obama was on the front page of every newspaper in the world, every evening newscast and all over the Internet.

Barack was burned and we've all been there. Fortunately for most of us it is a private experience. For Obama, it was all too public.

What I'm going to say about the Reverend Wright scandal will change the way the game called "Saying Things About the Reverend Wright Scandal" is played. . . FOREVER.

We expect to see this sort of race-baiting behavior from Fox, but CNN and MSNBC have, once again, similarly crossed the tabloid threshold into the very same nefarious Roger Ailes realm by beating this nothing story to death.

Senator Obama, you have made a wise choice. You may be in a fight with Rev. Wright for the duration of your campaign, but you will be seen as being on the right side... the progressive side

Obama showed personal integrity by not 'throwing Wright under a bus', but is now a victim of that very maneuver. He should recognize the opportunity Wright has given him.

Ultimately, Reverend Wright may be the unheralded, indeed unpopular, "hero" who enabled us to reembark on a new journey of recovery for social justice.
