Hey Rev. Jeremiah Wright: Your Sex Scandal Is Not Helping

Posted by Brian Fairbanks

 

Lemme get this straight, Reverend Jeremiah Wright: first, you give the Republicans the only real ammo they've ever had to go after Obama, who was supposed to be your friend, and then you made it worse by not shutting up about it and going away. You continued to give incendiary press conferences and even had to go after Obama to save face.

Now, what's this? A sex scandal? And in the most unholy of ways? Thanks a big whopping lot, jackass...

According to the New York Post and other sources, a woman named Elizabeth Payne is at the center of a love rectangle (hmm, that doesn't sound right), with the Wrong Reverend as the very public focal point:

Don't worry. If McCain's people can't find a sex scandal in Obama's closet, they won't have any trouble fabricating one, swiftboat-style.

Word on the street is that Obama recently got a 17 year old girl pregnant, and that her mom is a half-crazed, popular local politician in some backwoods hillbilly enclave.
