Now That We've Gone Through the Ritual...


And now that the media's derived whatever smug satisfaction they can obtain--and their requisite pound of flesh--from Barack Obama throwing Jeremiah Wright under the bus, maybe, just maybe, we can get back to real issues--like the war in Iraq, or gasoline prices going through the roof, or--imagine--the Gulf Coast and/or the ACOE "newspaper recycling" effort in New Orleans, or full laundry list of serious things that need to be addressed...

Yeah, I know: wishful thinking in a media ruled by Heathers Matt Drudge. But you've gotta hope sometimes.

Besides, it's still all a heaping, steaming pile--Reverend Wright said nothing that you wouldn't hear in a holy roller church on any given Sunday. Sin, confession, redemption...or damnation, a massive scale, are as normal as high school football on Friday night in the fall...particularly when Old Testament scriptures are being interpreted.

And NONE of that compares to the most horrific of scandals...the one in the Catholic Church. Pat Buchanan, practicing Catholic and regular critic of Reverend Wright, ought to smacked silly upside the head until he, to paraphrase scripture he should be familiar with, notices the log in his own eye before criticizing the mote in someone else's.
