No Runny Eggs

Charlie Sykes has an exchange between a pissed-off reader and asterisk-writer Gregory Stanford* (the asterisks are in the Sykes post)-

Mr. Poole:

Thanks for your message. Mr. Pimentel* asked me, as the writer of the editorial, to respond. We were merely noting in the passage to which you object that the elder President Bush had appointed Clarence Thomas to the Supreme Court for the sake of racial diversity, but that, because Thomas often takes stands at odds with mainstream black thought, his appointment does not help the court mirror America as much as it could have – which is what diversity is all about. Noting that Thomas is on the fringes of black thought is merely observing a fact, not stereotyping. Justices Stevens and Ginsburg do represent wide swaths of American thought.

Figures that the black racist on the board would write this tripe. I wonder what Eugene Kane* will spew forth.

*Self-named, racist arbiter of who’s who.

I hereby invoke my right to refuse service to anyone, removing the racist Milwaukee Journal Sentinel from the list of links until such time they apologize for this remark in an editorial in today’s fishwrap –

In losing a woman, the court with Alito would feature seven white men, one white woman and a black man, who deserves an asterisk because he arguably does not represent the views of mainstream black America.

For the record, I consider David Souter and John Paul Stevens asterisks as they don’t represent the views of mainstream Republicans (much less conservative ones).

*I’m now in the market for a new Milwaukee news source, but since the TV stations do not cover anything the racist Jentinel doesn’t, I don’t know what I’ll use.

I did…
