“It showed incredible poor judgment on the part of Republican leaders, regardless of whether it was technically racist or not. If someone cannot refrain from sending around such a bad joke in this day and age of instant media revelation, then there’s a problem in the brain area.”
Where were these (or any appropriately defensive) comments and their originators, when President Bush was being raked over the coals so viciously during his administration? I am in no way hinting that I staunchly supported the still incumbent President in some decisions he made and acted upon; but at the very least, he still deserved a show of deference from US citizens. So, isn’t this soft pedaling and defensive posturing around the President-elect edging toward hypocrisy, given the stunningly comprehensive bi-partisan lack of respect President Bush sustained?
Now that BHO has become the favored public icon, let him take the hits. If the MSM has its way (they seem so very successful at it these days, BTW), even these mild jibes will not penetrate the thin veneer of their favorite protegé.
