Racists are racists, I guess

You know, once a person has been in the public spotlight for saying stupid, outrageous things, you would think they'd know better than to do it again. But of course if they did know better, they wouldn't have spoken up in the first place.

In a racially charged interview, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright said that President Obama hasn't spoken to him since they parted ways last year, because "them Jews aren't going to let him talk to me."

...

"Them Jews aren't going to let him talk to me. I told my baby daughter, that he'll talk to me in five years when he's a lame duck, or in eight years when he's out of office," Wright said, according to Virginia's Daily Press. "They will not let him ... talk to somebody who calls a spade what it is."

Oy. The irony of him using a term that has been used to disparage blacks is just too much. Let's hope that none of us hear from this guy again for at least 5-8 years.
