Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, who wants to be president, made a big mistake the other day. No, I'm not referring to his use of the term "tar baby" in front of Iowa Republicans last weekend. I'm referring to his subsequent apology.

The senator later told Flannery that the N-word is a term of endearment and neither derogatory nor offensive.

The PC clowns on the left get more absurd by the day.

I wonder what would happen if GW said, "I'm sending my main (n-word) to Lebanon later in the week."

Oh yeah, that's the one. Threads that talk about Romney running for president tend to bring them out. Personally I don't care that he's a Mormon, I don't like the fact that he's a liberal. Guess I am bigoted against liberals.
