Reaction in the Media to John McCain's relationship with Reverend Hagee has been almost diffident -- especially when you compare it to the grief Obama got for Jeremiah Wright. Nothing new here.
Now finally McCain has had to "reject" Hagee, but he only does so by setting up an almost farcical distinction between his pastor and Obama's pastor:
Does "Straight-Talk" think we're stupid? First, there's nothing "immediate" about his actions. People have known for years -- since the 1960's, in fact -- what kind of preacher Hagee was -- and still Straight-Talk actively sought his endorsement for President of the United States. Whatever you think of Wright, at least Obama never asked him that. So if anyone has some explaining to do, it's John McCain. People might want to know why his request for an endorsement from someone with a record of 40 years is better than no request -- absolutely none -- by Obama after only 20. Mr. Straight-Talk has no lessons to teach to anyone.

"I have said I do not believe Senator Obama shares Reverend Wright's extreme views. But let me also be clear, Reverend Hagee was not and is not my pastor or spiritual advisor, and I did not attend his church for twenty years. I have denounced statements he made immediately upon learning of them, as I do again today."
