a bunch of white men

MIAMI — U.S. Rep. Corrine Brown verbally attacked a top Bush administration official during a briefing on the Haiti crisis Wednesday, calling the President's policy on the beleaguered nation "racist" and his representatives "a bunch of white men."

Her outburst was directed at Assistant Secretary of State Roger Noriega during a closed-door meeting on Capitol Hill. Noriega, a Mexican-American, is the State Department's top official for Latin America.

"I think it was an emotional response of her frustration with the administration," said David Simon, a spokesman for the Democrat from Jacksonville, Fla. He noted that Brown, who is black, is "very passionate about Haiti."

Brown sat directly across the table from Noriega and yelled into a microphone. Her comments sent a hush over the hourlong meeting, which was attended by about 30 people, including several members of Congress and Bush administration officials.

Noriega later told Brown: "As a Mexican-American, I deeply resent being called a racist and branded a white man," according to three participants.

Brown then told him "you all look alike to me," the participants said.

So how does Trent Lott get a lynching and Rep. Brown get nothing more than an honerable mention on a few news sites. Her comments were far, far, far more racist than his. Sad.

Ladies and Gentleman, you're looking at a Congresswoman who is most likely serving her last term.

Moral Of The Story: Whites do not have the market cornered on racism.

No different than Kerry getting a pass by so-called gay rights groups even those he opposes gay marriage. It's no different than Bush catching hell for the Patriot Act that his administration said went to far, but Kerry gets a apss and he helped write it.

I heard the Clinton joke. I didn't think it was funny, sounded stupid really. Guarantee if i had said something like that I'd have been stoned though.
