I Loves Me Some Hypocrisy; About 10,340 Square Feet of It…

Now Jerry W is in retirement and has had to cancel his planned appearances in Florida and Texas due to security concerns.  This is not doubt because us crazy southerners do not understand his right to be an American Hating Crack Pot.  Nonetheless he is planning to move into his new home currently under construction.

A two-week FOX News investigation, however, has uncovered where Wright will be spending a good deal of his time in retirement, and it is a far cry from the impoverished Chicago streets where the preacher led his ministry for 36 years.

FOX News has uncovered documents that indicate Wright is about to move to a 10,340-square-foot, four-bedroom home in suburban Chicago, currently under construction in a gated community.

While it is not uncommon for an accomplished clergyman to live in luxury, Wright’s retirement residence is raising some questions.

“Some people think deals like this are hypocritical. Jeremiah Wright himself criticizes people from the pulpit for middle classism, for too much materialism,” said Andrew Walsh, Associate Director of the Leonard E. Greenberg Center for the Study of Religion in Public Life with Trinity College in Hartford, Conn.

“So he’s entitled to be tweaked here. So the question really is, how unusual is this? Somewhat unusual,” he said.

Tweaked?  Well the other little nugget about this house other than the obvious point he is totally adhering to his rejection of “middleclassism and materialism” and skipping right up to Upperclassism in his 93% white neighborhood.

The article goes on to mention a ten million dollar line of credit was acquired by the church and a 1.3 million dollar mortgage for the house itself.  Whatever will they need the other ten million for?  We will never know, folks.  Why?  Because they are a not for profit church who doesn’t have to report what they do with their money.  Woo woo.  I am sooo in the wrong line of work.

Something tells me he is going to be a big hit on the board of that Homeowners Association.  Why didn’t he move to Hyde Park with the rest of Barry O’s friends?
