Susan from Princeton granted that the Republican Party is lily white and its a problem and it is messaging and Mitt Romney screwed up royally.
But Ms. OSullivan again took umbrage. As everyone went silent, she recalled a conference she attended in Australia in which a liberal nun (who didnt even have the decency to wear a habit) criticized America for its inner-city racism. Offended, Ms. OSullivan recounted what she wished shed said to this nun:
Pardon me, madam, but I have been in your country of Australia for ten days and the only Aborigines Ive seen have been drunk on the street, and at least if we were in my country they would be serving the drinks at this conference!
Ms. OSullivan then warned against watering down the purity of the conservative agenda to placate minorities or, as she put it, rather succinctly, the bastardization of the product.
