From the Department of Thanks, But No Thanks. Rev. Jeremiah Wright, in an interview with Bill Moyers last night, seemed to go out of his way to paint his famous former parishioner as less than sincere in his disavowals of Wright's notorious statements:
“He’s a politician, I’m a pastor,” he said. “We speak to two different audiences. And he says what he has to say as a politician. I say what I have to say as a pastor. But they’re two different worlds.”
He added, “I do what I do. He does what politicians do. So that what happened in Philadelphia where he had to respond to the sound bytes, he responded as a politician.”
Why didn't you just wink at the camera while you were at it, Reverend?
