Reverend Wright Staying Classy   [Greg Pollowitz]

"That dumb broad":

President-elect Barack Obama made a "bad decision" by distancing himself from the Rev. Jeremiah Wright and his church, Wright said Sunday — but that's OK.

"He's still my child," Wright said in a sermon in which he expressed pride in Obama's longtime association with Trinity United Church of Christ.

His talk was spiced with his trademark blend of history lesson, mimicry, singing, and — depending on your point of view — insults, or telling it like it is. One object of contempt seemed to be Elisabeth Hasselbeck of ABC's "The View," whom — while not saying her name — Wright twice referred to as a "broad," including once as "that dumb broad." Hasselbeck has criticized Wright on "The View."
