I do believe we can spot the bigot

Sad and, in what is more of a rarity, not from a Republican -- that Party still continues its DiMaggio-like streak for sexual perversity.

HOUMA, La. (AP) — A white state lawmaker in a runoff election called a black civil-rights veteran who had helped her campaign "Buckwheat," prompting the NAACP to urge voters to kick her out of office.

Rep. Carla Blanchard Dartez, a Democrat, acknowledged that she ended a Thursday night conversation with Hazel Boykin by saying, "Talk to you later, Buckwheat." Dartez had been thanking Boykin for driving voters to the polls...

Boykin, 75, helped desegregate restaurants and the parish school system in the 1960s. Her son, Jerome, is president of the Terrebonne Parish chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.


Meanwhile, the gang at "Hot Air" plan to rally in support of the Republican Candidate in Philadelphia, Mississippi.
