The only thing more astonishing (but hardly surprising) than the willingness of the Clintons to use the Rev. Wright against Obama despite the former President’s “connection” with the same reverend, is the classic New York Times spin for the Clintons–a benefit-of-the-doubt treatment rarely afforded anyone else:

There is nothing in the picture or the note that addresses whether Mr. Clinton had met Mr. Wright prior to the White House meeting or whether he or Mrs. Clinton knew anything about Mr. Wright’s views.

(One can only wonder if the use of “surface” in the headline reflects a determination by the NYTimes that the Obama campaign (which the lede highlights as the source of the photo) is now somehow submerged.)
