Ultra Dry

You gotta love this response from Deputy Press Secretary Bill Burton
Q What does the President think about the Justice of the Peace in Louisiana who won't marry interracial couples?

DEPUTY PRESS SECRETARY BILL BURTON: I've seen the story and I've looked into this a little bit. And I found that actually the children of biracial couples can do pretty good....


Very dry since, you know, his boss, the President of the United States, is one of those "children of biracial couples."

  • Better to have bigotry hoisted by it's own petard of idiocy, than raise it to a level deserving serious comment.

  • Yeah, but how level headed is that response.

    Of course, it was probably somewhat prepared. I would think that after the Harvard professor thing, every possible racial incident is discussed pre press conference..
