It seems so counterintuitive that Rice, a woman raised in the racially charged atmosphere of Birmingham, Ala., in the 1950s, who knew two of the girls who were killed in the church bombing there in 1963, who had to overcome latent prejudice in academia, both as a woman and as an African American, should be a parrot for George W. Bush, a man so out of touch. What has she been smoking?

Because the 2 girls were killed by Democrats?

"Because the 2 girls were killed by Democrats?"

I don't know if that's true, but it is certainly true that the South was staunchly Democratic throughout the era of Jim Crow.
