Sal, I think that Michael Moore may be overstating the Clinton/Wright 
penitent/priest relationship.  There was a Youtube video, 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hED5h5EAl28

that shows Bill Clinton shaking hands with Rev. Wright who was one of 
dozens of clergy invited to a very public prayer breakfast just as 
the Ken Starr report was being released, but I don't think that there 
was anything of a spiritual advisor relationship more established 
than that.

The commentary in the video is from an MSNBC edition of Countdown, I 
think.
