NAACP Leader Plans To Apologize To Bush Cabnet Member (update)

AP ^ | September 13, 2004

[Former Military Chick]

If you hear a loud thump, it is me falling out of my chair.

[atomicpossum]

Mfume: "We'd love that Uncle Tom House Negro to tell us about his racist policies."

[Henchman]

Mfumé is Ted Kennedy's boy. Watch it.

[Thebaddog]

It sounds like progress to me.

[TexasCajun]

You can bet your last dollar the NAACP will not apologize to the "White Man" in the White House for worst than a snubbing!

[Iam1ru1-2]

Believe me, if the demonicrats were leading in the polls, this apology would never have taken place. They are being cautious because they feel the anger of the American people toward their party for their insensitivity, rudeness, hatred, bigotry, and hypocrisy. This so called gesture of apology is not from the heart it's for their political survival and that's the bottom line.

[canalabamian]

Even NAACP smell the Kerry loss blowin in the wind. I see this as an attempt to save at least some face. Maybe they'll wake up completely.

[Lancey Howard]

I will be sorely disappointed if Rod Paige bothers to acknowledge any apology from this scumbag, Mfume. or his sick, radical, America-hating organization. I can hardly believe that Mr. Paige accepted their invitation in the first place.

[bioprof]

Speaking of Teddy, where IS he ????? He was everywhere during the Dem. primary ( at Kerry's side ) .......change of heart,maybe? I thought we'd see him blasting away the day after Zell's speech because Zell mentioned him by name.......didn't see him then, don't see him now......Hmmmmmmm?

Last seen meandering near a little bridge , mumbling the name Mary-Jo to himself. {;^)

[Chaguito]

Oh, he's around. Sept 10, 2004 "Kennedy Accuses Bush of 'Arrogant . . . Incompetence'"

[Henchman]

Ted's forming a 527 of Chappaquiddick Swiftees... or maybe back to the Fat Farm¿

[Henchman]

Is that any way to talk about an organization run by a former Congressman of the US?

[Vigilanteman]

When Rod Paige was superintendent of schools in Houston, my sister and brother-in-law actually bought a house and moved from the suburbs into the school district for the sake of their children's education. There were more than a few other suburbanites who did the same thing. This alone speaks volumes about the ability of the man to run an education system.

His remark about the NEA being a terrorist organization was spot on. The moronic Shelia Jackson Lee actually tried to take credit for the improvement in Houston's inner city schools on Paige's watch . . . all the while trying to sabatoge him by playing lapdog for her NEA masters.

[pipecorp]

Maybe Chappaquidick Oldsmobile Veterans.

[mabelkitty]

Mfume just confirmed he did not know Rod Paige was black.
Well, that's my take on it any way.
Either that, or he was deeply saddened that he didn't have a chance to try and embarrass Rod Paige as he had planned.

[DennisR]

Tom Daschle is probably "deeply disappointed."

[AmericanMade1776]

Mfume...just woke up and smelled a Kerry defeat coming soon on November 2, 2004

[Gator113]

"They are being cautious because they feel the anger of the American people toward their party for their insensitivity, rudeness, hatred, bigotry, and hypocrisy."

As well they should.

[dodger]

Paige at first was invited to talk about education reforms, but the organization rescinded that on Tuesday because of a perceived political imbalance on the panel.

Some imbalance -- one moderate Bushite Cabineteer (amid dragoons of PS-liberoids)! Hoo-haa!!

Paige would have been outnumbered, but he's not outgunned!!!
