Ooooh...Diverse.


The GOP has announced its line-up for the convention which they say highlights the party's diversity. By which they mean they embrace white dudes of all different tie colors. As long as they're blue or red. 75% of the speakers are dudes. 86% are white. And one of them is Joe Lieberman.

And in a stunning display of racial sensitivity and not at all white dude privilege, Rush Limbaugh said:

"it is striking how unqualified [Sen. Barack] Obama is and, and how this whole thing came about with, within the Democrat Party. I think it really goes back to the fact that nobody had the guts to stand up and say no to a black guy." Limbaugh went on to say: "I think this is a classic illustration here where affirmative action has reared its ugly head against them."
