Rev. Wright invited to White House

During a prayer breakfast at the height of the Lewinsky scandal.

Now that the picture of Bill Clinton and Wright is available, let's remember the Jimmy Swaggart moment that Wright and the other pastors there had to endure:

With tears in his eyes, President Clinton told a roomful of clerics this morning that he had sinned, speaking just hours before the world was presented a painstaking account by prosecutors of when, where and how.

Addressing an annual prayer breakfast at the White House, Mr. Clinton drew on the New Testament, the Yom Kippur liturgy and Ernest Hemingway as he made his most abject confession yet of personal failure, while declaring that he would defend and redeem his Presidency.

‘’I don’t think there is a fancy way to say that I have sinned,'’ he admitted softly, saying that after resisting expressions of contrition he had reached ‘’the rock-bottom truth of where I am.'’

For the first time, Mr. Clinton also asked for forgiveness from Monica S. Lewinsky, on the day that the details of their intimate relationship — details that he had denied and struggled to suppress — poured out through the Internet, whose wonders as a tool of communication he has so often extolled.

Yes... Monica Lewinsky does deserve an apology, and a real one. Called, in effect, a lying slut by every Clinton spokesperson and "that woman" by the President himself, she was saved by a blue dress that her mama was, however disturbingly, wise enough to save. Today, Monica is a proud graduate of the London School of Economics.

Her academic thesis was titled In Search of the Impartial Juror: An exploration of the third-person effect and pre-trial publicity.

"When Lewinsky walked across the stage to receive her degree and to shake hands with Sir Howard Davies, Director of LSE, the audience of students and parents erupted in spontaneous applause," said publicist Barbara Hutson's statement. "It was a very emotional moment for her."

Good for her. Let us close with the lying President's letter to Jeremiah Wright, dated October 28, 1998:

Dear Pastor Wright:

Thank you so much for your kind message.
I am touched by your prayers and by the many expressions of encouragement and support I have received from friends across our country.

You have my best wishes.

Sincerely,
Bill Clinton
