Reverend Wrong Goes Overboard

So Obama has finally acknowledged the necessity of throwing his spiritual mentor overboard.
Whatever happened to this:
What I value most about Pastor Wright is not his day-to-day political advice. He's much more of a sounding board for me to make sure that I am speaking as truthfully about what I believe as possible and that I'm not losing myself in some of the hype and hoopla and stress that's involved in national politics.
…and this:
[Jeremiah Wright is a] friend and a great leader, not just in Chicago but across the country.
…and this:
I can no more disown him [Wright] than I can disown the black community. I can no more disown him than I can my white grandmother — a woman who helped raise me, a woman who sacrificed again and again for me, a woman who loves me as much as she loves anything in this world, but a woman who once confessed her fear of black men who passed by her on the street, and who on more than one occasion has uttered racial or ethnic stereotypes that made me cringe.
Then again, if he could toss the grandmother who raised him down the stairs by denouncing her as a racist, it couldn't be too hard to stick a knife in his "sounding board."
O'Bigot had Wright on his campaign staff until the "God Damn America" videos came to light. Even after that, he refused to condemn him. Yet after Wright proved at the National Press Club yesterday that he's too crazy and arrogant to lay low until after the election, it became clear that the loose cannon had to go over the gunwale.
We are now asked to believe that in the course of their close 20-year relationship, Obama was unaware of the deafeningly and relentlessly expressed opinions of the demagogue who recruited him into the depraved cult of black liberation theology. Apparently he thinks we're not only bitter, but retarded.
On a tip from General Jack D. Ripper.
