Bill Kristol Still Hoping for Jeremiah Wright Redux

Hawkish New York Times neo-con Bill Kristol frequently gets accused of being stuck in the 1980's. Turns out, he's made it all the way up to this year's primary season.

Kristol weighs in today with a solution for John McCain's current campaign woes, and it reeks of mid-April: Bring back Jeremiah Wright…

The McCain campaign might consider responding by calling attention to Chapter 14 of Obama's eloquent memoir, "Dreams From My Father." There Obama quotes from the brochure of Reverend Wright's church — a passage entitled "A Disavowal of the Pursuit of Middleclassness."

Considering that Kristol got his op-ed column through The New York Times' own version of affirmative action, he should have second thoughts about playing the race card in this election.

Besides, if we're re-introducing the skeezy reverend quotient to the campaign, Barack Obama could always remind voters of McCain supporter Pastor John Hagee, who committed an act far more shameful than anything Jeremiah Wright did…

He sponsored a conference headlined by Joe Lieberman.
