House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi responded to reports of a plan to use Rev. Jeremiah Wright to attack Obama with a zinger aimed at the billionaire who would fund it: Joe Ricketts, whose family owns the Chicago Cubs.

Via MSNBC's Mike O'Brien:

Pelosi on the Ricketts attack: "I hope they're as successful with this campaign as the Cubs are in baseball"
