The Wright-Moyers Interview

As Tom noted below, Jeremiah Wright sat down with Bill Moyers for an interview. Election Central has some excerpts:

Moyers: You performed his wedding ceremony. You baptized his two children. You were, for 20 years, his spiritual counsel. He has said that. And, yet, he, in that speech at Philadelphia, had to say some hard things about you. How did those words...how did it go down with you when you heard Barack Obama say those things?

Wright: It went down very simply. He's a politician, I'm a pastor. We speak to two different audiences. And he says what he has to say as a politician. I say what I have to say as a pastor. But they're two different worlds.

I do what I do. He does what politicians do. So that what happened in Philadelphia where he had to respond to the sound bytes, he responded as a politician.

Yup, as Tom said, nothing much good can come from this.

Which brings us to the NC GOP ad hitting Obama over Wright. McCain has denounced the ad (not good enough for some) but, as TNR's Jason Zengerle believes, the ad might have nothing to do with McCain at all. It's beneficiary is Hillary. Those sneaky Republicans!
