Northwestern Covering Up For Obama

Whenever Jeremiah Wright opens his mouth, it's bad for Barack Obama. And since Jeremiah Wright won't shut himself up, why not just take his microphone away?

Wright, former pastor to Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, was selected to be honored at the June ceremony in Evanston, Illinois, on the recommendation of faculty committees, Alan Cubbage, vice president for university relations, said in a statement.

``In light of the controversy around Dr. Wright and to ensure the celebratory character of commencement not be affected, the university has withdrawn its invitation to Dr. Wright,'' Cubbage said.
