Tony Snow: "A number of black leaders" say Allen "is not a bigot. Period."

[Human Torch]

WASHINGTON - A congressman who admitted to having an affair and a senator accused of using racial slurs will get some political help from President Bush next week.

Bush will make campaign stops Thursday in Pennsylvania and Virginia to help the two troubled Republicans as the GOP struggles to maintain its endangered grip on the House and Senate. "The President has made a commitment, and he's going to fulfill the commitment," White House press secretary Tony Snow said Friday. Bush's appearances are intended to give a boost to four-term Rep. Don Sherwood, R-Pa., and Sen. George Allen, R-Va.

Allen has spent weeks rebutting accusations he used racist language and liked Confederate symbols. The furor began Aug. 11, when the senator called a volunteer for his opponent "macaca," considered by some to be a racial slur, during a political rally.

"George Allen is not a bigot. Period," Snow said. "And you've had a number of black leaders who've come forward to make the point. "So the president, absolutely, supports his candidacy," Snow said.

1. Whatever. Tony Snow has been hitting the crack pipe again...

And of course he wouldn't recognize a bigot, seeing as how he is one.

[Erika]

2. And up is down and down is up

W's and Tony's double speak.

[C_U_L8R]

3. Start naming names Tony

or STFU.

We've had it with Repuke phantom constructs and strawmen

[Dr.Phool]

7. Probably Clarence Thomas and Armstrong Williams.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

13. Let's not forget J.C. Watts and Aunt Jemimah

They're big supporters.

[MADem]

4. Amos and Andy, perhaps....but anyone with a scintilla of personal

respect, a modicum of intelligence, and an awareness of the world thinks he's a Confederate flag wavin', noose bandying, N-word bellowing racist pig.

But this part of the article is a total hoot--so much for the Family Values Party--the GOP has become the "kick the crap out of your crumpet on the side" party:

Bush's appearances are intended to give a boost to four-term Rep. Don Sherwood (news, bio, voting record), R-Pa., and Sen. George Allen (news, bio, voting record), R-Va.

Sherwood had one of the safest seats in Congress as his conservatism played well in his heavily Republican, rural district in northeastern Pennsylvania. Democrats didn't even bother fielding a candidate in the last two elections.

Then last year Sherwood admitted to a five-year extramarital affair with a woman 35 years his junior. He settled a lawsuit claiming he had choked her.

"Mr. Sherwood has certainly admitted to what has gone on, and the president also believes that we're all sinners, we all seek forgiveness, and in this particular case, he's supporting Don Sherwood's candidacy," Snow said.

You've gotta be desperate if you think being joined at the hip with Monkeyboy the Toxic Texan is gonna HELP your numbers...that's like jumping in the deep end of a pool with an engine block around your neck!

Well, what have we learned? The racist and the chick-choker think the Monkey is just peachy--it could almost fit on a bumper sticker...!

[Sparkly]

5. "A number of black leaders...." What's the number, I wonder?

And what's the percentage of "black leaders" they represent?

And, would they mind being called "macaca??"

[Beetwasher]

6. Is Zero A Number?

:shrug:

[vixengrl]

8. I think the number here is something like

the square root of -1. Or something like that. Another job for the "Name one" manuever.

"If black leaders really like George Felix Allen, such as he is, well...uh surely you can name one?"

[AspenRose]

9. "A number of black leaders...."

Who, Tony.....WHO?

[Bake]

10. Why, some of his best friends are black!

Bake

[Eurobabe]

11. Well, woopdie fucking shit, go suck and egg, George!

Both yins...

[Cha]

12. Yeah, snowjob? We all know about those

"Black Leaders"...who kowtow to the republiCONs for the almighty tax cut. What other reason could they have for slumming with the party who treats their race like pond scum?

[leesa]

14. "Some say..."

[Judi Lynn]

15. Snow's "number of black leaders" didn't see him shoving a bloody

dear's head into a black family's mail box, either, or see his Confederate flag he kept on his wall, or any other of the conspicuously racist things he does.

How can anyone stand to be in the same room with something as slimey as Tony Snow, anyway? They should sell photos of him to be used for people to look at who have had food poisoning, to trigger their gagging reflexes.His face has the most profound lack of character you might find in public life.

It was a direct message to Americans we can forget getting the truth from this administration. taking up space in the White House when he was sent in to replace Puffy McMoonface.

16. Don't you LOVE it? When "black leaders" come forward to say Bush

has turned his back on the Black community and has appointed judges who will undermine civil rights and was wrong to oppose the University of Michigan's affirmative action plan, etc., they are denounced as pretenders who speak for no one.

But let a couple of handkerchief head Negroes, whom he can't even name, say that Old George Allen didn't mean any of that stuff he said and he's really a good old boy, they are the unassailable voice of the Black community.

Oh, PUHLEEZE!
