Ted Kennedy did it yesterday. Hillary’s doing it next week, it looks like–talking “values.” This from a column earlier this month in the Boston Globe:

…Rev. Eugene Rivers, who once had enough sizzle to command his own Newsweek cover (June 1998). A cofounder of the Ten Point Coalition, a group of ministers credited with addressing Boston’s gang problem in the 1990s, Rivers is now working with the Bush administration on faith-based initiatives aimed at ending urban street violence. He also says he got a call from the White House on New Year’s Eve, seeking his input for the speech George W. Bush will give at his second inaugural.
Rivers is also behind an invitation to Senator Hillary Clinton to speak in Boston on the eve of the presidential inauguration. She is scheduled to appear at the Fairmont Copley Plaza on Jan. 19 to address the importance of faith in addressing social problems in an event that will benefit the Ella J. Baker House and the National TenPoint Leadership Foundation.
