Jeremiah Wright was White House guest
The recent coverage of Rev. Jeremiah Wright has often cast him as a marginal, almost fringe figure, but Trinity Church is a major Chicago institution, and Wright has long been a prominent pastor on the American scene.
And an anonymous blog set up to defend his church offers some compelling photographic evidence of this: A photograph of Wright and President Clinton, which it says was taken on September 11, 1998 -- the date of a White House gathering for religious leaders.
Hillary Clinton, according to her recently-released schedule for the day, was present at the gathering.
That's where Clinton reportedly told the assembled clerics, at the depth of the Monica Lewinsky scandal, that he had "repented."
As CNN reported at the time:
"I have been on quite a journey these last few weeks to get to the end of this, to the rock-bottom truth of where I am," Clinton said in his most emotional and dramatic statement since the affair with Lewinsky became public. "I don't think there is a fancy way to say that I have sinned."
Agreeing with his critics that he was not "contrite" enough during his initial Aug. 17 statement, Clinton said, "It is important to me that everybody who has been hurt know that the sorrow I feel is genuine. First and most important, my family, my friends, my staff, my cabinet, Monica Lewinsky and her family and the American people. I have asked all for their forgiveness."

I'm enjoying a nice dish of Breyer's Caramel Praline Crunch icecream at the moment...yum, yum.
hat tip to you in my #39
Ha! Hillary has had every frying pan she has thrown boomarang back and smack her square in the forehead.
Lib Racist Rev Wright preaches hatred of white people and then meets with Clinton. He, like Clinton, is a just another two faced power hungry dirty politician.
As I stated previously, in comment #8, the Starr Report was released to the public on September 11, 1998.

Ya think they’re actually shaking hands, or did they have an awkward collision while reaching for each others’ pockets?
Grasping at straws.
LOL! I figure the boneheaded pubbies (for nominating McQueeg) don't really deserve this popcorn joy....but what the heck..bwahahahahahahahaha!
slept in the Lincoln bedroom?

“Not sure this means much.”
Oh no, this MEANS something. This 2-bit paranoid racist nut belongs no where NEAR our White House, or near a media camera.
He is a lightweight moron.
What’s WRONG with the DEMS hanging out with people like this??? The guy’s an idiot. I am totally baffled. Is this what the loyal opposition has come to?? It makes the U.S. look seriously stupid.
Bwahahahahaha.
Oh yes!
The incestuous Democrat chronicle continues.
If Rush squeezes the Democrat Potty a little harder in OPERATION CHAOS, like the infected boil that it is - corruption will keep on spewing out for ten years.
You are so refreshing. No one on FR has said “Bwahahahahahahahaha!” in a very long time.
This picture was taken on Sept. 11, 1998 and everyone knew about Monica Lewinsky by that time. In January of 2008, Rev. Wright made his famous "Bill did us, just like he did Monica Lewinsky. He was riding dirty comment.
My question is, how come it took him almost 10 years to come to that conclusion?
Black culture is rife with these churches.
Church in black culture occupies a different place than in most of what can be called white culture.
The preacher is now the rouser of old. The keeper of the legacy in the past who kept the history alive in a culture of no written word.
