Alexis – Thanks for your comment. Bolsters my faith in the Clubbers’ sense of honor. Sure hope your response SHAMES Wretchard. God knows, I’m not the One to do that. Or course you’re right re the irrelevance of the letter even if it existed. My guess is that Sutton may have been aware of the young O pretty early. But there’s no reason to buy his claim a shady Arab was O’s rabbi – Let me underscore again that Sutton has some make-up work to do (inside his own head) since his pro-Clinton Harlem pols were against the candidate who went on to become the first Black American to become a nominee of a major party. GIven Sutton’s sense of his own legacy (Malcolm’s lawyer, Dinkins’ advisor etc.) – that’s got to be pretty embarrassing…

Man – Compared to Wretch – C-4 comes across as a model of rationality when it comes to Obama’s patrons…Though I have to add-on there – given O’s politics and the history of the American left – OF COURSE O would have major backers who were Jewish!

I’d urge anyone who’s interested in Harvard LAw School and minorities to check the Wiki entry on Derreck Bell – Black law prof who was fired from the Law School in 1992 over his protests on behalf of diversity – At that time Harvard Law had 90 profs. 3 blacks and 5 women. The notion that Percy Sutton was a HEAVY player at pale (and male) Harvard Law School back in that day is, ah, fantastic…
