How fitting is it that the Rev. Wright, in a bid to explain himself, brought his left-wing freak show to PBS? Thanks, Bill Moyers!

Here’s what Wright had to say for himself:

“The persons who have heard the entire sermon understand the communication perfectly,” he said. “When something is taken like a sound bite for a political purpose and put constantly over and over again, looped in the face of the public, that’s not a failure to communicate. Those who are doing that are communicating exactly what they want to do, which is to paint me as some sort of fanatic or as the learned journalist from The New York Times called me, a ‘wackadoodle.’ ”

Wackadoodle and worse, truth be told.

But the world is dying to know: In what context, exactly, did “God Damn America!” seem less wackadoodly than it did as a “sound bite”?
