Yay, team:
New York Magazine has done a special issue this week on race and the US election. There’s lot of good stuff in the package but this line from John Heilemann’s cover story stood out to me:
“In October, Obama’s former pastor, Wright, will publish a new book and hit the road to promote it”
Seriously. There already is an Obama death list. If we just make Wright disappear, will anyone notice?
*** Update ***
Sorry PUMA’s and GOP (or is that redundant), not going to happen, as Wright has already disappeared himself in Ghana:
A New York magazine cover story last week reignited the debate over Rev. Jeremiah Wright when it stated – without attribution – that the former pastor of Sen. Barack Obama was releasing a new book.
But his daughter, Jeri, told me today that the story is absolutely false.
“The only book we’re working on is the history of Trinity (United Church of Christ) and I haven’t even started editing that,” Wright told Essence.com.
After I reached out to her, she called her father, who is teaching and ministering in Ghana (I ran into him last month when I was in the West African nation) and said he “laughed” when she asked about the book.
“He said that he also got an email, but was unable to respond since he’s in email hell,” Wright said, meaning in a place in Ghana where it’s difficult to send and receive email.
I hear Ghana is absolutely wonderful in October and November.

in October? wow, Wright’s really out to make Obama’s life a living hell, isn’t he?
b.t.w.

God damn New York magazine! (Hey, it’s in MY Bible.)

Damn you, liberal journalism!

ABC also just put out a story saying it’s not true. Apparently, Trinity is releasing a clarifying statement today.
Punchy
The next time Obama makes an appeal to court NASCAR fans, I’m going to accuse him of playing the Race card.

Dang, he’s gooooood!
He disappears his victims, and then intimidates or hypnotizes their families into believing the “cover story”. Yup, sorry we haven’t heard from dad lately – he must be having “email problems”. Dead men send no text messages, apparently.
The STASI would be jealous.

Speaking of the race card, this is actually funny.

It’s obvious, Obama had his ass renditioned to Ghana to delay Wright finishing his book, Death to the U.S. of KKKA. Of course Obama follows his spiritual leader, but the book was inconvenient at this time. Tough love.
To make it up to him, after the election Obama will tap Wright to head the new cabinet level God Damn America faith-based initiatives agency. Whitey males who object will either be placed on the official death list or sent to Ghana Gitmo. White women will be placed in a camp run by Cold Cash Jefferson.

He wasn’t sent to Lower Zambuta?
