    Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
    But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
    Than a fool in the eyes of God

      Yeah - i agree. But I'm find myself wondering when the last time I saw a republican apologize and resign on their own conscience over an inappropriate act ...

        Question: What do you call a black man in a suit?

        Answer: Mr President.
        Ah, liberals aren't even trying to hide it anymore, eh?

          The spinelessness of the Dems makes me sad, but so does the viciousness of the Republicans.
          "Spineless" for grovelling to his left base even though he basically implied most blacks aren't intelligent or articulate as whites. It's very telling you would call him spineless, but not surprising to me one bit. Leftists like you really show your true selves when the gloves come off.

              It was definitely better than the typical non-apology where the politician blames those he insulted for being insulted because they never in a million years meant it that way.

                  Weren't you the one who tried to argue a few years ago that "Uncle Tom" isn't really an offensive term?

                    What is racist about that joke? It's not funny in the slightest, but I don't see how it's racist. It doesn't imply anything offensive about any groups.

                        Examples of Democrats resigning after offending a Republican please.

                          I gotta agree. She did say that it was a racist joke that got altered.

                            It does assume that only a black president would wear a suit. That's how I read it.

                              And if a conservative had said it we'd be told that is the only way it could be meant.
