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."

So, do we call this “riding dirty with Bill”?
So, where was Hillary when this was happening...you know, her being co-president and everything.

LMAO! That is sooo sick!
Thanks, Greg F...had that one set for tom’w
“The keeper of the legacy in the past who kept the history alive in a culture of no written word.”
Your assertion — the black church as the keeper of black history — perhaps supplies us with a cogent explanation for the histrionics of pastors such as reverend Wright, namely, to impress this history on their congregations: in the most forceful, powerful, and unforgettable terms.
Very interesting.
Much better than Obama’s ‘it’s a black thing’ ‘you wouldn’t understand’ explaination.
ummm probably get pulled... but Clinton is asking that guy if he wants to smell his finger.
Seemingly, both Barack and Jeremiah chose to be black in the sense they have identified with the black liberation theology among other things.
So? Bill has been photographed with almost everybody in America. And for a donation to Hillary’s campaign, he will be photographed with you too.

Perhaps the 9/11 Dr. Wright was speaking of when he discussed the '9/11 chickens coming home to roost'?
Yuck.
He must’ve been making pretty good money to render that much to Caesar....er, Barry.
It means the Left tolerates raving bigots. It means Jeremiah Wright is just fine with rich, white people who run the USKKK of A as long as they’re Democrats who cheat on their wives with government employees.
This is the equivalent of Dubya being photographed with David Duke.
Which one of these characters has been dirty with my new governor or his wife. Anything goes up here in the Northeast...it’s a “lovefest”.
Sorry, new dude, but people who grasp at straws are doing so for a purpose. Connecting Hillary and Bill to Wright isn't something someone would be desperate about.
True enough, but I don't like that cheese build-up on my hands when I eat them. (Same goes for Cheetos.)
Is it just me, or does Jermiah Wright look a lot like a “typical white person?” (see brietbart)—also known as a TWP.
