Howell Cracks A Funny

How else to react to the Washington Post’s ombudslady Deborah Howell, when she ends her examination of her paper’s hands-off of Barack Obama’s radical nutcase preacher of 20-years by Howell saying, “This story should bury for good the canard that Obama is a closet Muslim.”

Actually, it doesn’t, as there’s a nexus between radical leftists and anti-Americans, demonstrated by Rev. Wright’s with Black Muslim Farrakhan and by reprinting of Hamas screeds in the church bulletin. If anything, Obama’s adherence to this congregation of enemies of American values unearths that Obama is a closet hater, regardless of his professed faith.

After repeatedly rejecting examination of Obama’s long-term relationship with his reverend of hate, Howell’s corrective is to suggest examining other candidates’ relationship with their reverend or supporters who are reverends. Howell equates the consistent and repeated extremism of Rev. Wright that Obama bathed in with the far lesser and far more occasional utterances of other clergy that may be objectionable to a far smaller number, usually non-service attending liberals.

Howell for ombudsjoke of the week award.
