If there is anything to this item on the Los Angeles Times blog, it could take the Democratic race to a whole new level:

[W]e should have been paying a little less attention to Wright’s speech and the histrionics of his ensuing news conference and taken a peek at…. who was sitting next to him at the head table for the National Press Club event. It was the Rev. Dr. Barbara Reynolds, a former editorial board member of USA Today who teaches at the Howard University School of Divinity. An ordained minister, as New York Daily News writer Errol Louis points out in today’s column, she was introduced at the press club event as the person “who organized” it. But guess what? She’s also an ardent longtime booster of Obama’s sole remaining competitor for the Democratic nomination, none other than Sen. Hillary Clinton of New York. It won’t take very much at all for Obama supporters to see in Wright’s carefully arranged Washington event that was so damaging to Obama the strategic, nefarious manipulation of the Clintons.

Do you see now why it’s never wise to bet against the Clintons?

UPDATE:

From the title of this blog post at Politico.com, you might think that the controversy ends because Reynolds pitched Wright as a speaker two years ago. But read on and you will be rewarded:

An ordained minister, Reynolds, teaches at Howard University School of Divinity, and knows Wright personally. So she was the ideal contact person for Wright when the controversy broke in mid-March.
Smith said that Reynolds pitched Wright again as a speaker, and the speakers committee wanted him because he was far more newsworthy than two years earlier. Reynolds became the point person.
