Putz:
OOPS: "Shadow of Wright Still Hangs over Obama Campaign."

Yes, that is James Joyner's headline in the linked post. But his conclusion, in fact, is quite the opposite. He describes the evidence as "thin," "pretty weak" and "silly."

Joyner concludes:
I find the Wright story interesting. And the fact that Obama has seen him as a mentor all these years probably means that he, too, is more complicated than his well crafted public image. But I don’t see this brouhaha being a decisive factor in who becomes our next president.

Putz either didn't read beyond the headline -- the "oops" suggests that he did not -- or he purposefully misconstrued the post's content to suggest Obama's unelectability. (It should go without saying that J. Wright may have mortally wounded the Obama campaign, but that's not the case Joyner makes.)

Either way, this is pathetic.

...The InstaPutz intern observes that this foolishness is a habit of Putz's, like saccharin.
