....Blair's racial angle, which appears to lend him an air of intrinsic credibility, smells foul to some people. "This guy was more of a con man than he was a Negro," observed Stanley Crouch, the author and Daily News columnist. "His ethnicity is being more emphasized - but he's a high-level con man. The first thing the con man has to do is figure out the mark. Howell Raines and The New York Times constitute the mark."

That about sums it up. But do the suckers over at the Times conned by Blair get it yet?
In Liberal La-La Land discouraging words dare not be spoken for fear of being un-PC.
