"A panic about the situation of the African American male raised into a truncated paranoid theology."

More Wright than wrong.

"I think that it's possible . . . having the spotlight was something attractive to him."

Divorce.

The "long and painful falling out" between Barack Obama and Jeremiah Wright - and what made Obama snap

Obama snaps against Wright, but for the wrong reasons.

"President Bush has f------- everything up so much, he’s even made it hard for a white man to become president!”

Prof. Althouse doesn't think Chris Rock is that funny. But is he right?

"Where, when he could have used them, were Obama's oh-so-famous endorsers?"

Prof. Althouse reflects on those who stood silent while Obama got attacked.

"Can you believe this Reverend Wright guy?" BIll O'Reilly asks Hillary Clinton

Being a jerk is good to O'Reilly, neutral to Prof. Althouse.

Thoughts on reading the transcript of Barack Obama's press conference about Jeremiah Wright.

Prof. Althouse seems to not believe Obama's divorce from Wright and tries to deconstruct his press conference on Wright.

Did Obama "denounce Wright"?

They say Prof. Althouse doesn't want Obama as her President.

Jeremiah Wright may us into the arms of Barack Obama.

Sounds postive but not about Obama as he is.

Obama is letting Wirght overpower him.

That can't be good.

Jeremiah Wright is not lying low.

Speaking here onlyas someone who is blogging about blogging about (now mainly) Wright: Dear Reverend Wright, please shut up.

"Obama, can this really be your friend . . ."

This one is a tough one to categorize. Prof. Althouse links to a Dylan-esque parody lampooning Obama. Prof. Althouse has an affinity for Dylan, she is clearly concerned about many of the connections that the parody highlights but she throws in the fact that if it weren't for her vow of cruel neutrality "I might rank him first of the 3 imperfect characters we [must] choose from."

"Manipulative, Shameful, Race-Baiting."

John McCain is not that bright.

Did Bill Moyers act as Jeremiah Wright's PR agent or did he ask some good journalistic questions?

Bill Moyers is a puffball.

And Hillary gets her 10 point margin

Ugly factoids.

Frank Rich and Maureen Dowd get around to the subject of the Clinton-Obama debate.

On the substance, it is hard for me to tell where Prof. Althouse is criticizing Obama and where she is critiquing Rich and Dowd in their defense of Obama.

Debate tonight. I'll be liveblogging.

Time for a debate.

The "Compassion Forum."

A twofer: bland and tired.

McCain ad labels him — literally — Episcopal.

"With all this trouble Barack Obama has been having with his connection or seeming connection to religion that either is or seems extremist, wouldn't this be a good time to remind folks that John McCain's religion is the most mild-mannered Christianity: Episcopalian?" Sure, if you want to take one of the central points ("I will not lie") of McCain's ad and make it a lie.

Prof. Althouse is less effusive in her praise of this McCain ad but takes the opportunity suggest the real reason behind the ad is Jeremiah Wright.

I didn't see that connection. Personally, I think the ad was designed by an Obama operative to reinforce the fact that McCain is old. Black and white photos (I love black and white photos but these look like they are black and white because they are old photos not because of an aesthetic choice). A formerly youthful McCain in a football uniform which looks like it is from the period where they didn't wear helmets. Ted Williams? I love Ted Williams. Ted Williams definitively is an American hero but I doubt that half of American men under the age of 40 can tell you why off the top of their head. I bet more people under the age of 40 vaguely remember that there was a family feud when he died about whether or not he should be cryogenically frozen. Yes, rock stars can be our heroes but I won't show you a picture of one because (1) I can't find one who agrees with my policies and/or (2) I can't find one who you will recognize who belongs in the group photo with the other heroes.

New McCain slogan: "I will not cheat." (Except on my first wife and maybe on my second.

"There is no repentance on the part of The New York Times. There is no integrity when it comes to The Times."

Twofer!!! Prof. Althouse links to Capt. Ed who gets to bag on both Wright and the NY Times.

Prof. Althouse is neutral on Obama but goodness can I please get some more links to something that looks bad for Obama?
