“My first reactions to Andrew Breitbart’s article were a) that the lines between the serious and bizarre in modern culture have drawn dangerously near each other; and b) who heck makes up rules like “Black beats white. Gay beats white. Black beats gay.” I’m sure that Breitbart is right in perceiving them – in fact we should call them Breitbart’s Laws — but where did they come from? Who made them up.”

Think back to Clarence Thomas. Only a black woman could take down a black man (maybe Breitbart’s “zeroeth” law) and damn if one wasn’t found. Happily it didn’t quite work. Kind of makes one wonder who would have been trotted out to trip up a conservative black female Supreme Court nominee.
