Hillary behind Rev Wright news setup?

I don't know if someone has diary on this but if this is true I think this woman must be exposed. From NY Daily News:
The Rev. Jeremiah Wright couldn't have done more damage to Barack Obama's campaign if he had tried. And you have to wonder if that's just what one friend of Wright wanted.
Shortly before he rose to deliver his rambling, angry, sarcastic remarks at the National Press Club Monday, Wright sat next to, and chatted with, Barbara Reynolds.
A former editorial board member at USA Today, she runs something called Reynolds News Services and teaches ministry at the Howard University School of Divinity. (She is an ordained minister).
It also turns out that Reynolds - introduced Monday as a member of the National Press Club "who organized" the event - is an enthusiastic Hillary Clinton supporter
On a blog linked to her Web site- www.reynoldsnews.com- Reynolds said in a February post: "My vote for Hillary in the Maryland primary was my way of saying thank you" to Clinton and her husband for the successes of Bill Clinton's presidency.
The same post criticized Obama's "Audacity of Hope" theme: "Hope by definition is not based on facts," wrote Reynolds. It is an emotional expectation. Things hoped for may or may not come. But help based on experience trumps hope every time."
In another blog entry, Reynolds gives an ever-sharper critique of Obama: "It is a sad testimony that to protect his credentials as a unifier above the fray, the senator is fueling the media characterization that Rev. Dr. Wright is some retiring old uncle in the church basement."...
The last sentence says it all. We need more on this. I don't have any doubt that they will do anything to win.
UPDATE Ok don't get lost here. The campaign doesn't have to be directly involved. The Rev himself may not be aware of the consequences. This seems to me a windfall for them and they try to take advantage of it.
UPDATE 2 I was going thru some of the comments. you guys are amazing. I didn't know Rev Wright was invited to the WH during Bubba's time.
commenter Paladine says:
I bet Rev. Wright was pissed about the way he was portrayed and was ripe pickings for the Clinton people.
I saw Bill Bradley on MCNBC yesterday asking the Media to answer/investigate WHY Rev. Wright came forward NOW. NOW, with NC and Indiana so close...NOW is a great time to benefit Clinton. I think the Obama campaign knows more than they are saying.
