But you chose to ONLY make fun of them. Hmmmmm
why only black men? Is Neo a closet racist? I hope not (and I certainly don't think you are). But if we spin your remarks, and you are in public office, and we have a media frenzy you too could be out on your butt. I am not particularly outraged by either. I think Clinton's was the bigger gaffe because it jeopardized more severe matters. But both remarks were only off the cuff remarks not well thought out. Clinton didn't have any Irish tendencies to drink in his mind when he talked about the two drunks, any more than Lott was thinking about how great the segregated South was. They were both speaking without considering the ramifications of what they were saying. EVERYONE does that. If we throw people out for that, we will have politicians that will not speak extemporaneously, and that will hide a lot more evil, imo.
