Bush's disdain for Martin Luther King

[Sandpiper]

Here's how Bush celebrated MLK Day the last two years:

2003: Bush honors Dr. King's memory by announcing his opposition to affirmative action at the University of Michigan.

2004: Bush remembers Dr. King's legacy by appointing segregationist and Klan sympathizer Charles Pickering to the 5th circuit court of appeals.

And yet this twit somehow had the nerve to lay a wreath at MLK's tomb.

3. It is worse than that...a lot worse

This pResident goes to MLK's tomb to show urbane whites that he cares...then the sick part...he hustles to do some incredibly bigoted thing to show Racists with a wink that says "see what I do I poke them in the eye." It's sick but true.

4. These things can't be coincidence.

That bunch obviously gets a perverse kick out of doing such things. They probably had a minstrel show at the White House last night.

10. No coincidences at all, same with denying an extension on the 911

Sneaky--everything in the back door.
