JEREMIAH WRIGHT IS BACK

One might think that Jeremiah Wright would consider changing his paradigmatic view of the world soon. He's on the outside looking in when it comes to the the man he allegedly mentored spiritually, married, and whose children he baptised. A letter has surfaced that shows Wright believes he has become radioactive to the Obama administration.

Via the AP:

In his strongest language to date about the administration's 2-year-old rift with the Chicago pastor, Wright told a group raising money for African relief that his pleas to release frozen funds for use in earthquake-ravaged Haiti would likely be ignored.

"No one in the Obama administration will respond to me, listen to me, talk to me or read anything that I write to them. I am 'toxic' in terms of the Obama administration," Wright wrote the president of Africa 6000 International earlier this year.

"I am 'radioactive,' Sir. When Obama threw me under the bus, he threw me under the bus literally!" he wrote. "Any advice that I offer is going to be taken as something to be avoided. Please understand that!"

As often happens with the AP, much of the noteworthy stuff comes at the end of the articles. This one is no exception. It involves Muhammad Ali's trainer and Uday Hussein! Ali's one time trainer is named Arthur Morrison and he's currently in prison. Joseph Prischak is the head of a group called Africa 6000 International and was on the receiving end of Wright's letter. With that as a backdrop, check this out:

Prischak told Wright in a Feb. 11 letter that he was seeking the clergyman's help in reaching out to the U.S. Treasury Department. He said that Uday Hussein, the son of Saddam Hussein, had entrusted 87 million British pounds in 1990 to Morrison and Ali to buy pharmaceuticals, milk and food for the children of Iraq.

Prischak said the money was never spent because Morrison was imprisoned. He sought Wright's help in lobbying U.S. authorities to permit 25 million British pounds in interest from the money held in an overseas account to be allowed to be sent to faith-based groups for the children of Haiti.

Great. Now Muhammad Ali's trainer has ties to Uday Hussein?!
