Wright on Israel

I know. Obama wasn't at that sermon. Or any other sermon where something objectionable was said. Personally, I have no religious attachment to Israel. I just like democracy, and there aren't too many in that part of the world. Also, the women are gorgeous, and you can tell that because they aren't forced to cover themselves with bedsheets. But hey, Wright isn't overly concerned with women's rights--he's an Obama guy.

In any event, this one goes out to all the bubbys in Boca. I doubt they have some kind of religious litmus test for Democratic candidates, but they may be looking for a candidate whose religion doesn't deem Israel a "dirty word."

Silver lining for Obama: this may be enough to bring Wes Clark around.
