How do you like the Boston police officer who called Gates a banana eating jungle monkey in an email trying to explain how he wasn't being racist. Man I sent coffee flying on that one. I thought I don't know how your going to explain this away my friend but saying it wasn't racist isn't going to sell. Being a guardsman also he likely killed 2 jobs with one stone.


I think his best strategy would be to say "hey, Gates and Obama are trying to say they aren't racist, I was just trying to use some hyperbole to show how absurd it was to claim they weren't being racist"

....yeah, that should work

Toast.

Wonder whose bright idea it was to have him make the rounds and appear on shows like Larry King. Painful to watch him squirm. He says he doesn't know what he was thinking when he wrote that but he repeated the phrase twice in the email. He prefaced the email with "This might offend some people".

Guess he can always go to work for Brinks or Blackwater.
