I suppose this one will follow a predictable path.

Sununu being Sununu, Sununu calls it like he sees it.


Oh my... did he really?  Setting aside how refreshing it was to see a guy who knew exactly what he was trying to say, and didn't flinch when the hacktastic hack known as Andrea Mitchell gave her predictably hacktastic response, we all know what comes next...

I've always been amused by this line of thought.  Newt Gingrich refers to record numbers of people on food stamps, so obviously Newt Gingrich is a racist.  It never occurs to the people making the accusation that they're the ones who equated food stamps with a given race, not Gingrich.  Now, just wait and see.  Sununu called the president lazy, so now Sununu will be a racist.  It might take a day or two, but you'll hear it.  The people hurling the charge will be blissfully unaware that they are the ones who connected laziness with race, but they'll "lean forward" anyway.

Quick sidebar time, in case you wonder where I stand.  Who has two thumbs and is lazy?  This guy. (This is where you have to picture me pointing at myself with both thumbs.  You knew that, right?)

That's a sampling of posts where I informed you internet people that I'm lazy.  And I'm pretty damned white, so I guess I don't equate laziness with dark skin.

I don't know how quick the Republicans are when it comes to battling smears these days.  Historically speaking, the answer is that they seem to be caught off guard more often than not.  This one should be easy to handle though.  First because it's so predictable.

Second, well.  Click the image to hear it from the man himself.

If there's anybody calling Sununu a racist in the near future, and you know there will be, just pass along this link and watch the equivocation begin.
