The media's reactions to Jeremiah Wright's appearences this week have a familiar ring.
"My guess is that Mr Wright felt he'd been thrown under a bus by an ungrateful congregant who had benefited mightily from his association with the church and who should have rallied to his former pastor's defence." --Bob Herbert, the New York Times
"Historically and theologically, he was inflating his importance in a pride-goeth-before-the-fall kind of way. Politically, by surfacing now, he was throwing Barack Obama under the bus. Sadly, it's time for Obama to return the favour." --Eugene Robinson, the Washington Post
"Wright has become embittered at Obama since the initial controversy last month, even if Obama never actually threw him under the bus." -- Michael Crowley, the New Republic
"Rev Rivers: Wright throwing Obama campaign under the bus" --Foon Rhee, the Boston Globe
"Jeremiah Wright has thrown Barack Obama under the bus and he has stepped on the gas." --Pamela Leavey, the Democratic Daily
