A prominent black civil rights lawyer from California quit the NAACP this week after a disagreement with the group over his support of one of President Bush's judicial nominees.

The two times I've heard this guy on Hannity, he's one tick away from a full-on China Syndrome meltdown. I wonder if anybody's ever suggested that he mix in a little decaf every now and then?

It's nice to see that slowly, very slowly, people around the NAACP are coming to realize that they are the Democratic Party's ho, and that their pimp isn't giving them their cut of the proceeds.

I was jus thinkin' how far off the left has gone to be runnin' off Leo. They've truly fallen from the cliff and I can't wait to hear the final crash.
