GoSkins561 Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Reverend Wright is a class act, whats next from this guy? http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/09/09/report-jeremiah-wright-has-affair-with-another-mans-wife/ Rev. Jeremiah Wright Has Affair With Another Man’s WifeBarack Obama’s former pastor has been cavorting with another man’s wife, whom he romanced while she worked at a church in Dallas run by one of his disciples, according to a report in the New York Post. Elizabeth Payne, 37, told the Post that she and Rev. Jeremiah Wright, 67, had a sexual relationship this year and that she was fired from her job when the affair was made public. Payne had been working at Friendship-West Baptist Church as a secretary to the Rev. Frederick Haynes III, a longtime Wright protege. “I was involved with Rev. Wright, and that’s why I lost my job and why my husband divorced me,” Payne was quoted saying in Tuesday’s newspaper. She said she has filed a wrongful-dismissal claim with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. According to Payne’s estranged husband, Fred Payne, 64, Wright e-mailed Elizabeth Payne and told her he was going to leave his wife, Ramah, for her. Wright married Ramah more than 20 years ago after he unsuccessfully provided marriage counseling for her and her former husband. Fred Payne said members of the church, including Haynes, would not be pleased about the interracial aspect of the relationship. “People wouldn’t be happy to know that my wife was sleeping with a black man,” he said.

MEANDWARF Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 What Wright said on the pulpit is more damaging to anyone attending that church over his personal life(ala affair). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpillian Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 And you would be right. Yeah, they have to bring him back up to overshadow Palin's situation with her church. Which I really don't get. There are enough newsworthy policy differences to keep the press busy. Is it the public's demand for lurid controversy? Or is it the political establishment attempting to distract the focus from the real issues at hand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that Nancy Grace has her own show should give you your answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peeping Wizard Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Which I really don't get. There are enough newsworthy policy differences to keep the press busy. Is it the public's demand for lurid controversy? Or is it the political establishment attempting to distract the focus from the real issues at hand? The news tends to dwell in the gutter. Both sides thrive on appealing to the lowest common denomenator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
