Strange Brew, Non Sequitur

I'm not attepting to state that the metaphor wasn't valid. nor was I attempting to state that the only way to look at that quote was in a racial manner.

What i was attempting to point out is that Tony Snow is a PR person for this administration... Public Relations. That is his job. His only job. to take information from the administration and express it in a publicly satisfying way. As a PR person one would think that Snow would have the wherewithal to avoid any statement that could in some way be construed as a racist remark. As an expression of his job and his purpose to the administration it was an absolute and utter failure.

much like the planning for the war in iraq. "not being bothered", to me at least, reflects a moderate level of obtuseness and laziness but doesn't begin to endorse the absolute and utter failure related to the job they were supposed to do.

Please take a long walk off of a short pier.

Jimmy Carter, President, on a cool day in February when Emperor Hirohito was due to visit, was awaiting the emperor at National Airport. He remarked that there was a nip in the air. It was covered.

That was funny, not a cause to rend garments and gnash teeth.

Get it?

Or do you choose to be wilfully obtuse? Don't be so bleeding sensitive.
