Would-be Sharpton

I haven't said much about the Rev. Wright controversy, and in lieu of doing so, I'll just say I agree with what Ross Douthat writes in "Jeremiah Wright, SOB." Excerpt:

Obviously I'm not rooting for Barack Obama to win the Presidency, but if he does take the election this fall, there will be some compensating pleasures - not only the thrill that will accompany seeing a man ascend to the Oval Office who could have been bought and sold in a different, more unjust America, but the pleasure of knowing that Jeremiah Wright's attempt at self-aggrandizing sabotage fell flat on its face.
