5. I'm LOL looking at Don King's hair
That old fool is a convicted murderer, so I guess he and * go well together.

6. WTF?
They have to put the minorities away from everyone else? Am I the only one who is offended by this?

10. I think he did good here
Met with the black folks, but set up a curtain so his supporters wouldn't see. Excellent campaign move - all they were missing was a confederate flag over the whole shabang.

16. I think this
might be what they were talking about in those Florida emails: caging. Why can't he learn to treat human beings like human beings instead of separate groups?

9. I guess he needed more for his "compassion" webpage
I'm sure it's been updated, but for about a year or more the B/C webpage had under the heading "compassion" a several-page photo gallery with nothing but black people.

11. He must have seen that interview on The Daily Show
The regular female "correspondent" went to the GOP convention and asked a delegate, "Have you had your picture taken with a black person yet?" Hysterical. They replay the clip all the time, including on 60 Minutes last weekend.

I can just picture GW, "Damn it, Laura. Why didn't you remind me? I need to try that."

13. Even better, the Daily Show interview with Don King
Edited on Wed Oct-27-04 08:47 PM by psychopomp
He really is a crazy old geezer and comes off like he will say anything for $$$.

On edit: I think the DS link to the interview is still on the Comedy Central site.

14. Let's see: 1. suddenly for "civil unions", 2. "new tactics" in Iraq, and
3. totally stage photo-ops with blacks.

Is this guy desperate or what?!! Wow.

17. What's that weird box they are in?
How strange!

And you know they are going "ok you got the stun gun?"

"Yeah, I got it"

"Ok on the count of three, when they snap the picture, stick it on his butt cheek and hit it on high"
