So what's the fuss? They all look exactly alike to me!

Republican Senators, who yesterday confirmed President Bush's appointment of Judge Janice Rogers Brown to the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, today expressed shock at learning that the California Supreme Court justice is black.
The revelation comes in same week that Democrat party Chairman Dr. Howard Dean released his research showing that Republicans, and especially their leaders, "all look the same" because they're "white Christians".
"I'm concerned about how this is going to play with the white base," said an unnamed Republican Senator upon learning of Judge Brown's non-mainstream race. "I feel betrayed by President Bush, who has now managed to sneak a number of non-whites, not to mention women, into high-ranking government positions. The White House tricked us into focusing on the accomplishments of nominees, distracting us from the key genetic and theological markers that Dr. Dean has identified as determining factors of Republicanism."
The source claimed that Republican Senators were unaware of the racial and ethnic status of Cabinet members including Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierez, Labor Secretary Elaine Chao, Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta, HUD Secretary Alphonso Jackson and Secretaries of State Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice.
"Now that we've seen the photos," the anonymous source added, "it seems that not even half of the Bush Cabinet members are white males, and some of those may not even be Christians. The president has secretly assembled a virtual rainbow coalition right under our noses."
LOL
although I would think this is more likely to come out of a certain Democratic Senator from WVA's mouth....
Another good one from ScrappleFace!
I love the wit and sarcasm. I'd love to know who said it.
I am shocked!. Ooops.. but then, what am I? :)
How dare he do this to us, his white Christian base?

Ummm, do I really have to add this?
</sarcasm>
So what's the fuss? They all look exactly alike to me!
Yes, this is most disburbing. Why, when will 'those people' learn their place? Now, I'm sure what they really meant was to refer them to nice jobs in the Bush Administration such as, well, such as porters, or kitchen staff, or drivers, or laundresses, or, well, you know, jobs that are a-p-p-r-o-p-r-i-a-t-e for their kind......... Honestly, the Democrats need to step up their efforts to help 'these folks' enroll at job training centers, or get assistance applying for benefits. Sheesh, what in heavens name is this country coming to???

June 08, 2005 Dean: Dem Poll Workers Can't Tell GOP Voters Apart
by Scott Ott (2005-06-08) -- Many Republicans probably voted for George Bush dozens, if not hundreds, of times in 2004, according to Democrat party Chairman Howard Dean, "by taking advantage of the fact that Democrat poll workers have difficulty distinguishing individuals from among a crowd of white Christians." "Thanks to their pale skin, round eyes and khaki trousers, Republicans just blend in," said Mr. Dean. "So they vote, get in the back of the line and vote again. And because they've never made an honest living in their lives, they could do that all day long." The party chief announced that the Democrat National Committee will invest $50 million in developing protocols to help poll workers tell the difference between one Republican and the next. A spokesman for the DNC later clarified the comments, noting that, "Chairman Dean intended his offensive remarks to be heard only by party loyalists, not the general public."Buy "Axis of Weasels," the first book by Scott Ott. $12.95 + S&H |
LOL!
Howard Dean really is a fool. And what fun that is for us. "White Christians," indeed. His counterpart in the GOP, Ken Mehlman, who is Jewish, must be rolling on the floor, laughing his ass off.
Can't you see the color of the ties representing rainbow coalition? Biiiig differance!
Look for me and I cannot be seen. Listen for me and I cannot be heard. Yet I am there, just out of sight, at the corners of your vision. A flicker, a thought, then no more. I watch, I wait.
The Associated Press reports that when asked about Dean’s remarks GOP Party Chairman Ken Mehlman quipped that "a lot of folks who attended my Bar Mitzvah would be surprised" he heads a Christian party. "We gotta get ourselves beyond this point where when we disagree about politics, we call the other guy names," said Mehlman.
Ott hits a homerun!
"We gotta get ourselves beyond this point where when we disagree about politics, we call the other guy names," said Mehlman.
Ken Mehlman has class. I'm on the RNC e-mail list, and his e-mail updates are always informative and NEVER decend to name-calling and hate speech like Dean does. No wonder the GOP is leading the Dems in fund-raising more than 2 to 1.
LOL
Between you and me, I can't possibly tell without Dr. Dip$hit Dean to tell me LOL :)
