Last month, the NCAAP announced that the Internal Revenue Service was reviewing the organization's federal tax-exempt status. NAACP chairman Julian Bond said the investigation stems from a July speech he gave that was critical of President Bush. Tax-exempt organizations are required to remain nonpartisan.

Rumors in Maryland that he will run for Senate in '06. Sarbanes is 71 and hasn't announced his intentions. Could pit him against Lt. Gov. Michael Steele.
We know about the IRS rules that he's been allowed to violate, but I wonder what else he's into. The liberals are always the worst offenders of whatever they're complaining about. If he's anything like Jesse Jackass, he's got at least one mistress and a few illegitimate kids running around. When you're the man, you don't have to obey annoying rules.
Wasn't Mary Frances Berry supposed to step down several years ago and refused to let the new guy in.?
O.J.Simpson would be the ideal candidate to replace Mfume. He is so honest and full of integrity that he will be a great fit for the NAACP...yep, the glove fits.
hummm....stepping down....or getting out of the fray of the IRS investigation......
Hey Mike....you wouldn't be heading for the state of Indiana in 40 days would you?....:)

This report of the IRS reviewing the NAACP's tax exempt status is music to my ears.
The NAACP is now as leftist and corrupt as the Democratic party.
"Kweisi Mfume"
Kwazy Mfume, tricks are for pimps!
The NAACP was ever nonpartisan?
Bill Cosby would be a great replacement!
The NAACP is still trying to push their "oil for food" like scams on "their constituencies"
I heard that Armstrong Williams will be the new President. Is that true? :)
...."Kweisi means 'conquering' and Mfume means 'son of kings.......
He thought the movie "coming To America" was real.
He got a job.... his own reality tv show on Spike no less.
It's positively disgusting.
His choice of namechange to Mfume was interesting. It would appear that he has named himself in a code that is self degrading to the nth degree. (MoFuMe?)
Hmmmm, Dan Blather to step down during investigation of his forgery scandal.
Do we have a parallel universe here?
