Wright Wing Wonder

Fair, Balanced, And Without Clue fox-news-special-presentation.JPG

Fox News has rushed to embrace all things Founding Father-ish, proudly affirming it’s own targeting alongside the great dead whites by beloved Chicago minister Jeremiah Wright.

The Chicago Sun-Times reported Wright’s speech at a weekend funeral, and it was noteworthy for stating the smokin’ hot non-controversial obvious.

“… while Wright made no mention of terrorism, he did revisit the topic of America’s mistreatment of blacks, saying America’s founding fathers “planted slavery and white supremacy in the DNA of this republic,” and adding that Thomas Jefferson wrote, “ ‘God would punish America for the sin of slavery.’ I guess that makes Thomas Jefferson unpatriotic,” he said to the cheers of the congregation.”

“Rev. Jeremiah Wright told a congregation in Norfolk, Va., on Sunday that reporters sneaked into a private funeral service a day before, in which he blasted America’s founding fathers for slavery and white supremacy and received standing ovations for attacking FOX News for covering his anti-American sermons.”

This is a very old discussion.

All part of a package of nostalgia and list making, the highlight of which is their lament for the death of Washington golf.

Thanks Guys! abramoff-scotland.jpg

Fixer to the stars Jack Abramoff’s Scottish trip ruined it for everybody apparently. No one admits to playing anymore, and…

“As a result of a ban imposed on gifts and services, lobbyists have to pay thousands of dollars to play in elected officials’ fund-raisers to spend time with them on the golf course — hardly a bonding opportunity.”
