Jeremiah Wright, the firebrand pastor and former intimate of Barack Obama - the pair fell out when footage of Wright emerged damning America - is in the news again. On the front page of today's New York Post, he is accused of having an affair with one Elizabeth Payne, (pictured), a 37-year-old church worker, who has told this was the reason for the eventual breakdown of her marriage.
Payne claims she and Wright, who christened Obama's children and presided over his marriage to Michelle, began their relationship while he was an executive assistant at a Dallas church headed by one of Wright's proteges. When their relationship became known, her husband decided to terminate their marriage.
Payne, who refuses to reveal when the adulterous affair started or how she met Wright, says: "It's all true. I was involved with Rev."
However, Payne's husband, Fred Payne ... says he learned of the affair in late February when he discovered emails between his wife and Wright. "There must have been about 80 of them, back and forth," he said. "Wright said things like he was ggouing to leave his wife for Elizabeth."

That’s a shame.
I hope both families heal.
What’s wrong with this picture?
______
She, not black enough?
Could be the flash but I’m thinking “high yellow”.
Me too, but in Cook county in that circle nothing will come out.
“What say you to this?”
I say you know a man by the company he keeps.
How is this relevant to the campaign? Let’s not go down the same road we have been criticising the liberal media for.
I'm thinking lilly white.
You know this is uh, some of the uh, good work that he has uh, uh, done in the community. The, uh church uh, has be uh, known for uh, having done work uh, for the uh, community....
Oh God, not that “it’s privte” stuff.
If this was John McCain’s old pastor, the Dems would not say that this is just between his pastor, McCain’s family, and McCain’s church.
Just take a look at Sarah Palin’s daughter abd how libs/Dems have treated her.
They sure don’t consider that a “private matter” between Sarah Palin, her husband, her daughter and her family.
She has a thing for old, foul-mouthed reprobates?
Yeah. I can’t believe that he said that.
But... I imagine that he was talking about Wright’s church not being happy about it.
Unless we are going to go after The Rev’s militant racist remarks, I really don’t care about his sex life. That’s between his wife, him, his congregation and of course God.
Rut !!! Row !!!! She’s even lighter then Jerry , could it be she’s white ? Sleeping with enemy to get their secrets I’ll bet .
According to the column, Elizabeth Payne admitted to the affair. And her husaband says that emails back this up.
BTW, Obama’s ex-pastor is the racist.
Perhaps Elizabeth’s ex was talking about Wright’s church not being happy about Wright sleeping with her?
Is that a guy?
How is it relevant?
Barack Obama couldn’t figure out what kind of man Wright was/is and that Wright was/is a racist -— after 20 years!!!?
“Let’s not go down the same road...” as the media?
But how then can they learn their lesson?
Wright does not deserve to be called a reverend, or to be a pastor anymore. I shudder to think about all the people he has led astray. He is definitley a wolf in sheepskins.
Ummm, he’s always on top??
