Report Suspicious Activity

The spectacle of our glorious leader being subjected to verbal humiliations at an event like the King funeral is shocking. Hey, you liberals--he didn't need to attend! After all, Coretta King was just MLK's wife. Not like that's important or anything. Not like she marched in Selma or anything like that. Besides--MLK was just a troublemaker and ingrate, the kind of guy who might criticize someone like Kennedy or Johnson for not doing enough for negroes, or even for waging war in Indochina. Civil Rights would have advanced so much quicker if King hadn't got involved, and we would have left reform to guys like Strom Thurmond and Trent Lott. Strom even had a black kid, for goodness sakes!

The main point here that someone on the president's staff completely dropped the ball. Our glorious leader normally appears before hand-picked crowds, complete with pre-selected questions for him. That's the kind of event we should have had here. Where are all our polite black Republicans? The GOP, after all, is the mainstream American political party, filled with respect and appreciation for everyone. Where was Condi Rice?--I saw her at the Super Bowl. Someone should have given this Lowery guy a script, made him follow it, or told him not to attend. After all, they should feel grateful and lucky that Bush came. It's not like these colored folks voted for him or something.
