Time To Disown Granny

“I can no more disown him [Jeremiah Wright] than I can disown my white grandmother.”

— Barack Obama, Philadelphia, March 18

And right here I have to admit I've been stealing (shamelessly) from Joe Gelman's Neocon Express for the last few posts. I've been a fan of Joe's blog for some time now, but hadn't visited in a while, and once I stopped by there today, I just felt like Barack in a political candy store (chocked full of goodies) and couldn't stop myself. But - now that I'm even cribbing Joe's titles - I feel kinda bad.

I know, I know: there's little to no chance an important guy who posed with Ronald fucking Reagan will ever find out a foul-mouthed black guy's stolen the equivalent of his pocket change. But - still - I want to cop to it, and say "Thanks, Joe!" for once again really making my day.

Oh, Man: that makes it sound even worse,...
