Wright had been offered the honorary degree on the recommendation of
"committees of the faculty" (big surprise), and had been invited to come
to the University's commencement exercises in June to receive the honor.
Yesterday, the University dis-invited him.

A mea culpa here - - Last Saturday, I wrote to you that "...Klahn is
still at least aware enough of his surroundings that he realizes Wright
is radioactive and that publicly supporting Wright's worst statements
will be harmful to Obama."

I was wrong.  I badly misoverestimated Klahn.  He's dumb as a post. I'll
be careful in future and try to not repeat my error.


Re: Wilson and Klahn swooning over Wright's positions:
In his presser on Tuesday, Obama said this about the "ridiculous
propositions" set forth at Wright's Monday freakshow at the National
Press Club:
"His comments were not only divisive and destructive, but I believe that
they end up giving comfort to those who prey on hate and I believe they
do not portray accurately the perspective of the black church."
[and]
 ". . .then there are no excuses.  They offend me.  They rightly
offend all Americans.  And they should be denounced.   And that's what
I'm doing very clearly and unequivocally here today."

But Wilson and Klahn don't agree with Obama that Wright's positions
rightly offend all Americans.   They are still arguing for Wright, even
as the Obama camp (including Michelle, ma belle) are fervently hoping
the whole Wright controversy will simmer down and quickly go away.

But hard left guys like Wilson and Klahn won't let it go away.  Their
politics is more in line with Wright's than it is with Obama's.  Heck,
the Repubs don't have to attack Obama - - guys like Wilson and Klahn are
doing it for them.

As the old song goes, "It's delightful, it's delicious, it's de-lovely."
