Clinton and Wright

The above picture has been making it's way around the Internets today, posted at an anonymous site run by an Obama supporter. It shows then President Clinton shaking hands with Obama's pastor Jeremiah Wright at the White House on Sept. 11, 1998. And according to Sen. Clinton's recently released schedules from when she was First Lady, she was an attendee at the event that day.

Of course, the picture is no more damning than the fact that Obama has known and been a good friend of the man for the last 20 years but it does smack of the incredible hypocrisy that runs through every aspect of the Clinton campaign. It also sheds a bit more light on why Clinton herself has been loathe to comment on the whole affair at any length. Again, there is nothing wrong with the former president meeting Wright...except when the Clintons fan the flames of the non-story about Obama. But hey, that's politics, right? For them, it absolutely is.
