REV. WRIGHT'S PRESS CLUB DEBACLE HAS CNN ANCHOR GROANING 'AH, BOY'

[NewsBusters.org]

Mark Finkelstein had this insight into Rev. Wrights speech at the National Press Club today:

“How bad was Reverend Wright's appearance before the National Press Club this morning? Bad enough that even CNN contributor Roland Martin—who yesterday enthused about Wright's address to the Detroit NAACP, who gave Wright's chat with Bill Moyers an 'A'—flunked it with an 'F.'

“Bad enough that David Gergen condemned it as "narcissistic almost beyond belief." Bad enough that, introducing a panel discussion of the speech, the palpably distressed CNN Newsroom host Tony Harris let out an audible groan of "ah, boy," and later wondered how much damage had been done.”

OUR TAKE: Expect Barack Obama to give another speech--this time kicking Wright to the curb. But it will be too little, too late.
