Joe, The One would never lie. If he said he never heard or knew about Wright making those statements, I believe him. After all, he is The One. So what if he disinvited Wright from the ceremony announcing The One's candidacy for president because, as he told Wright, "Your sermons can get a little rough"? That doesn't suggest that The One knew about the particulars of any of said "rough" sermons. Regardless, when the rise of the oceans begin to slow and our planet begins to heal you won't give a damn about the fact that maybe The One told a fib.

Sorry, David, I can't help but tease you a bit. In all seriousness, however, a new Rassmussen poll shows that of independent voters not affiliated with either party, 71% believe McCain is ready to be president while just 35% believe the same for The One. That suggests that it is not just beer-swilling idiots from red states that are not persuaded by lofty oratory read off a teleprompter in front of faux Greek temples.
