Bobby Rush should have just responded to Kirk with the quip made (in)famous by Indiana Pacers center Roy Hibbert last night: “I’m no homo.”
BTW, Bobby Rush will go down in history as the only man ever to defeat Barack Obama in a federal or state election, roundly trouncing him in the 2000 Democrat congressional primary. And Obama will go down in history as the only president whose only electoral defeat came against a former Black Panther.
