We're in for a colorful campaign
Senator Biden once described Senator Obama as "the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy." Taken from NY Times, 1/31/07. Has Senator Biden pre-cooked himself? ~ The Horn
"When Biden apologized to me for his reference to Obama being "clean" I told him I take a bath every day." ~ Rev. Al Sharpton
Articulate is really (white) shorthand to describe a black who isn't too black. Whatever the intention, expressing one's astonishment that such individuals exist is no compliment. Just come out and say it: "Gee, he doesn't sound black at all" ~ Eugene Robinson ~ Washinton Post Columnist, 2/2/07
After a speech Hillary recently gave to American Indians, she was given an Indian name, "Walking Eagle." Reporters were told it's a name given to a bird that is so full of s--t, it can no longer fly ~ Google 2/5/07
