Comedy Spotlight: Reverend Jeremiah Wright

The Reverend Jeremiah Wright has come on lately like a tornado in a trailer park, and done about as much damage to Barack Obama’s presidential campaign.  Here’s a sampling of what comedians are saying about the Reverend:

 

"Barack Obama gave a big speech on race, and there was one heckler in the audience, kept screaming crazy stuff the whole time. Turns out it was his pastor." --Jay Leno

 

"I never met a 70-year-old black man who liked white people. The man's whole third-grade class was lynched." - - Chris Rock

 

"The State Department announced today the most dangerous place in the world is no longer the Mideast, it is now between Reverend Jeremiah Wright and a microphone." --Jay Leno

"Have you ever met a 75-year-old black man in this country that wasn't angry?” - - Chris Rock

 

“Barack Obama spoke today about the need to send a man into space.  The man he wants to send into space: the Reverend Jeremiah Wright.” - - Jay Leno
