Why Politics Make Me Drink Reason #478

The CNN.com headline is insulting enough:

Gender or race: Black women voters face tough choices in S.C.

That’s right, black women can vote only on one of two issues — that they have vaginas, or that said vaginas contain above-average amounts of melanin. Imagine if the Republicans were putting up a paraplegic and a Jew (hey, it could happen!). And then CNN did a story focusing on wheelchair-bound rabbis who had to choose between their legs and their circumcisions.

But then we get this gem:

No other voting bloc in the country faces this choice.

I dunno. White Republican males had like seven or eights guys to choose from (plus Ron Paul), and they seem to be handling it just fine.
