anyone remember when Al Bore made the remark during the campaign that republicans..the ones to the fartherst right have an extra chromosome? Where was all the fuss then?
Or who was it that made the anti Jewsish remark about was it NY being kiketown or something nasty like that? No big hubbub then...ok for dems to make tasteless and thoughtless remarks but for a republican it is a mortal sin.
