The Race Deck

The Race Deck

J.J. Jackson nailed it with his AmericanConservativeDaily.com piece titled, “A Deck Full of Race Cards,” http://bit.ly/LAr1y.

What Jackson “nailed” is a subject as tough to nail as a blob of jello: black pols using race to cover up their failures and ineptitude. It’s so tough that to even mention the issue is to incite charges of racism, by whites against blacks, of course.

Jackson’s article focused on New York State’s Democratic governor-by-default, David Patterson, who acceded to that highest office in my state by virtue of his predecessor’s virtue deficit.

You may recall disgraced Governor Eliot Spitzer, Governor Righteously Squeaky Clean. To put it delicately, Eliot valued a dally in the valley with prostitutes more highly than he valued himself, his office, his family, and the citizenry of New York.

Anyway, Eliot–not the endearing Elliot of E.T. fame but the former lecherous governor–hand-picked Patterson as his lieutenant governor in 2006. The reason is uncertain since the black vote is always in the pockets of Democrats. Maybe Patterson was chosen to cement the disabled vote since he’s legally blind.
