BLACKBALLED!!!

Captain Obama forced to cut tow-rope to the good ship... "SS Jeremiah Wright"...
The presidential candidate is seeking to tamp down the growing fury over Rev. Jeremiah Wright and his incendiary remarks that threaten to envelope his campaign.

“I am outraged by the comments that were made and saddened by the spectacle that we saw yesterday,” Mr. Obama told reporters at a news conference.
I just wanna know... where was Captain Obama when the entire crew started screaming...
"ICEBERG!!!! DEAD AHEAD!!!!"

RELATED: There's also that yappy spouse thing
"I’m willing to cut presidential spouses a lot of slack. When Senator Obama said Jeremiah Wright was like a goofy uncle, it was pointed out that your relatives are a given but you get to choose your pastor."

"It’s true that you also get to choose your wife, but, unless you’re particularly far-sighted, you don’t always choose them with a presidential run in mind."
I guess "Slick Willie" kinda evens this one up anyway.

LAST WORD: Wheels within wheels
"Of course, Hillary could use Wright to sabotage Obama, and then - with the party roiling - set herself up as the candidate of “unity” by offering the badly injured Obama the veep spot. Which would be profoundly ironic - she’d have taken the party to the brink of destruction in order to steal the “unifier” tag from Obama."

"This is almost a thing of beauty in its perverse way - if it can be pulled off."
