Reply #215: Well, the question was very unfair, and Sharpton knows that [View All]

[KaraokeKarlton]

Everyone knows Vermont has virtually no minority residents. Because of that it's really unrealistic to expect Dean to be able to find someone who was a minority, qualified AND interested in the position for his cabinet. Sharpton implied there was an intentional slight on Dean's behalf, and that's not the case. There simply wasn't anyone Dean knew of to appoint. That's why Dean supporters are disgusted with Sharpton's question. If Dean was the governor of NY and he didn't have any minorities in his cabinet, THAT would be a valid criticism. But Vermont? Let's be fair, here, shall we?
