Unbelievable. The almighty dollar and fame has trumped a spiritual relationship and a historical candidate. How can anyone now not think this is the underlying reason for Wrights media tour. Depressing.

Rev. Wright's book tour
These days, who isn't hawking a book?
Anyway, a reader noticed that Rev. Jeremiah Wright, in Detroit over the weekend, mentioned that he's working on a book.
I come from a religious tradition where we shout in the sanctuary and march on the picket line. I come from a religious tradition where we give God the glory and we give the devil the blues. The black religious tradition is different. We do it a different way. 40 years ago, Dr. Anthony ... quoted in '68 the Kerner report stated that they were two different Americas. And for 40 years one of those Americas has acted as if they were the only America.
But all of that now is in the past. I believe a change is coming. Because many of us are going to change how we see others who are different. I've got to hurry on. I'm taking too much of your time. So let me give you the outline of the rest of this message. You can either fill in the blanks for yourselves or you could wait for my book that will be out later this year.
As they say, all publicity...
