REP. JOHN Conyers Jr., the Michigan Democrat recently crowned for the 20th time when voters sent him back to Congress, might be the ambulatory argument for term limits.

Conyers has sponsored much legislation, some of it good, over the years. He has so grown in stature that he has made the error of thinking he actually knows something about Maryland's politics. Here's the congressman speaking at a post-election forum Thursday sponsored by the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies in the Rayburn House Office Building .

John Conyers is a racist old fool.

Blacks ought to be very proud of their "first black president" and the mob that surrounds him. Their guy, Maynard Jackson, got the boot in favor of Terry McAuliffe as DNC chairman. Then Carl McCall got his promised campaign funds halved when it looked like he might lose. Now Nancy Pelosi gets the nod over Harold Ford.

Tough time to be black and DemocRAT.
