Waiting for the White House spin. Ok FReepers! Time to play.... White House Spin Doctor! What big fat LIE would you tell to deflect this story. Perhaps you stonewall and say 'no comment'. Maybe Carney will get huffy and indignant and say Derrick the Menace was an "American Icon".

So.. Let's play. Winner gets an all expense paid trip to the FEMA camp of their choice...

Barry: “Why would I deny that a tenured Harvard professor of law was a guest at the White House?”

White House: No Comment on Derrick A. Bell's 2010 Visits

.

He's dead Nachum.

This guy was hardly a legal genius. His philosophy could be crammed into a single, short paragraph ~ as I did on FR the other night when he became an issue.

He seems to have dabbled in the use of speculative fiction to discuss aggregate sociological issues.

When it came to the white folks at Harvard I don't think he despised them any more than we do They were, after all, the enemy of all that's good and holy, and still are. Kagan is one of their kind .

At the same time his bio credits him with laying out a winning strategy for numerous school desegregation cases. In some quarters that makes him a very disruptive radical. in other quarters it's just one of the things that happened in history and his part in it was neither disruptive nor radical.

At the moment he is dead and will be dead for a very long time. It's not possible to go talk to him about his visits which were more than likely little more than a courtesy extended to him by Obama.

Hey, Clinton did that for a lot of people he barely knew ~ and more! I'm actually surprised that Obama had the old guy over (just before he died ~ and we might well ask if something happened there to bring that to pass).

George HW Bush visited 0bama on Jan 30, 2010.
Bell visited 0bama Jan 29 and Jan 31, 2010.

Interesting.

Obama’s in luck. I’m sure the New York Times won’t press him on this - maybe they’ll do a puff piece on all the good Bell did - you know playing defense for their favorites.

Obama was asleep during Bell’s visits, just like he slept through Rev. Jeremy Wright’s sermons
