Shakedowns
January 22nd, 2008Just a couple more ironies — Eugene Washington in the Washington Post writes like I about Clinton/Obama/Reagan but goes further, arguing that Clinton is attacking Obama because Obama is saying that Clinton wasn’t all that great. It’s true, but I’ll have more on that later once I have completed an essay I am working on. I do have another “ironic” note, and that’s that Tiger Woods has forgiven an announcer who suggested the other golfers should lynch him. It was a joke from a friend of Woods’ and nothing more; Al Sharpton, however, threw a fit and is still throwing a fit, insisting she be fired despite Tigers’ acceptance of her apology. He argues that it was an attack on all black people. I’d argue that it was an attack on all white people, too, since he is half-white — or it was half and half. But before I ever argue anything so ridiculous, I argue that Al Sharpton is an embarrassment to his race. What business is it of his and why does this have to be about all black people? Doesn’t Sharpton have some playboys to shake down for his Church or something?
More on news later or tomorrow.
