That's a little thin, Hitch.

A college essay? I've certainly written things in the past that I wish I hadn't and hope no one reads. This is supposed to disqualify her husband for being president? Plus, you hold it against her that she expressed sympathy for black "separationism." Okay, but so did Malcolm X at the time, if you remember, which is why much of the black community was taking an interest in it. And earlier in the article you expressed admiration for Malcolm X. So you're not being consistent here.
I agree with you that we'd all be better without any of this religious nonsense in our politics, but you yourself have admitted that the Christian right is no more than a laughable annoyance that is sometimes mistaken for a genuine fascistic force. Can't we now say the same thing about clowns like Jeremiah Wright?
