Ted Kennedy has left the hospital.

Walking out on his own, Senator Kennedy was greeted with a flood of media outlets from around the world.

As he left the hospital, he waved to the crowd and gave a thumbs up.

It was hard not to miss the bandage on the back of his head.

Before entering his car, he also greeted his dogs.

As CoverAwards reported earlier, Senator Kennedy wants to “go home, relax and go yachting.”

We send our best wishes to Senator Kennedy!

After finding out very tragic news yesterday (as we did on the cover of today’s New York Post), Senator Ted Kennedy is leaving the hospital.

MSNBC is reporting that he want to “relax with his family and wants to go yachting.”

Best Dressed?

Well, this cover suggests that.

Need more evidence?

At the birthday of “Vanity Fair’s Amy Fine Collins, the guardian of the International Best Dressed List, social lioness Deeda Blair was sporting an Obama button on the hip of her Chanel couture suit.”

There you have it.  Case closed.

The New York Post provides inside details from sources revealing why Rev. Wright said what he said.  Here are some of the excerpts:

• “Jeremiah is trying to defend his congregation and the work of his ministry by saying what he is saying now,” the source added.
• “Jeremiah doesn’t care if he derails Obama’s candidacy or not . . . He knows what he’s doing. Obviously, he’s not a dumb man. He knows he’s not helping.”
• “Rev. Wright, as well as other senior members of his church, believe that Obama has betrayed over 20 years of their supposed friendship.”

The New York Times features Barack Obama on its cover today where he’s shown separating himself from his ex-pastor’s comments.

“His comments were not only divisive and destructive, but I believe that they end up giving comfort to those who prey on hate, and I believe that they do not portray accurately the perspective of the black church,” Mr. Obama said, his voice welling with anger. “They certainly don’t portray accurately my values and beliefs.”

“I’m outraged by the comments that were made and saddened over the spectacle that we say yesterday, ” Mr. Obama said, speaking to reporters today in North Carolina according to the New York Times. He added, “I find these comments appalling. It contradicts everything that I’m about and who I am.”

“They offend me, they rightly offend all Americans and they should be denounced,” he said. “That’s what I am doing very clearly and unequivocally here today.”

Arugula vs Beer.

Can it be that simple?

Not anymore - especially after this current Rev. Wight debacle.

The gap just got a bit wider.  Don’t you think?

In case you missed it, here are some of the quotes from Rev. Wrights appearance yesterday:

The review are in!

Rev. Wright’s recent commentary have placed Barack Obama’s campaign in a disastrous position.

Can Barack Obama distance himself from Rev. Wright at this point? 

Obama did say yesterday, “He [Wright] does not speak for me. He does not speak for the campaign, and so he may make statements in the future that don’t reflect my values or concerns.”

Is this a strong enough statement from Barack Obama?
