GOP Demand Least Likely to be Heeded

This weekend there has been some clamor in the news about the nasty, despicable, and overtly racist remark that was tossed off a couple of years ago by Harry Reid, a democrat who is now the majority leader in the Senate, regarding then presidential candidate Barack Obama. Mr. Reid is, like most of the fat-cat, powerful, connected, and overwhelmingly white power elite in Washington, DC hopelessly classist and racist. The US is at least another generation away from eradicating racism from its mainstream (something I still believe is possible and hope for), and possibly longer from the elite, where it's accumulated like an invisible arterial plaque for centuries. It's a lot to ask of our US Senators to embrace our society's actual values when they're allowed so much leeway on other ethical, moral, and human values.
The voters send them to Washington to dole out the pork, enrich their cronies, do their best to keep anyone else from gettin' more pork than us, and try and keep from screwing up the system any more than it already is.

Well, Mr. Reid was recently called out on his dismal behavior from 2008-- when he still believed (with so many) that Obama had a snowball's chance in hell to be elected-- and was forced to apologize for his remarks, which basically said Mr. Obama was an attractive candidate because he had light skin and didn't "talk like a Negro," and implied thereby that we could perhaps trust the guy with lawn work around the house, or teaching our kids. Well now he's president, and Mr. Reid felt he had to apologize so he could get back to the job of doling out roast pork to fat cats.

The GOP however, will never settle for such an evasive and unrepentant whitewash of this egregious attack on the dignity of the president's office and person, and so have demanded that Mr. Reid step down.

The Republican Party chairman says Sen. Harry Reid should step down as the Senate Democratic leader over racial remarks Reid made about Barack Obama during the 2008 presidential campaign.

This demand was delivered by the Republican Party chairman, Mr. Steele, who is also black, so it must carry some moral weight.

I do not expect the Dems will heed this advice. Now, if we could just pipe down a bit and get back to the dinner table, could someone please pass me some more pork?

Thanks.
