Specter shows questionable taste (ethinic jokes)

While most people will agree that being “politically correct” has gone too far -- Sen. Arlen Specter R-PA reminds us why political correction began in the first place: tasteless ethnic jokes.

At the swanky once-a-year Pennsylvania Society (where all politico’s large & small from the Keystone State trek up to NYC to converge on Park Avenue for luxurious power- broking) Specter thought it appropriate to tell “Polish Jokes”.

One insider said before Specter gave his speech at the Commonwealth Club he asked the audience if anyone there was Polish. Since only ten or so out of a few hundred raised their hands Specter decided it was ok to tell the jokes.

SO...Murtha got re-elected by insulting his constituency...can a Republican?

Liberals love to be abused. They have a propensity for sadomasochism. They have a need to be told what to do by their "massa's", a holdover from the days when the demoncrats were (are) the party of the slaveholders.

All one has to do is substitute "blonde" for "P*lack" and his rear is covered.

Not in that group. You might offend someone's girlfriend.
