Paging Madea

Walked out of "Tyler Perry's Meet the Browns" last weekend and my thoughts turned to the Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Seemed an odd connection at first -- what does Perry's avuncular film have in common with the fiery pastor who's catching so much heat courtesy of his connection to Sen. Barack Obama's campaign?


My inner dialogue inspired this think piece in The Washington Times. Apples and oranges? Maybe. But I saw some similarities - and a glaring difference - between the two figures.
