A round of applause, please, for your newest nominee for Wonkette's coveted Legislative Badass of the Year Award, Alabama state Sen. Vivian Davis Figures, who is refusing to apologize to the state GOP or anyone for saying last week that the Alabama Republican Party's rise to dominance since 2008 is partly the result of racism.

I bet if Obama had been some southern-grown negra fellah such as Andy Young or someone like that, the insanity would not have reached this level.

ONE DROP LIBEL!!!
My friend who grew up in Alabama did not know that gun racks were not standard equipment on a pickup truck until she moved to California.
Racists? In Alabama? In the Old White People's Party? Well, I never.

You know who campaigned for her in 2008? Hank Aaron, the only Major League player with Erdos number 1.
stuck inside of Mobile with the Memphis blues again
I look forward to the Alabama legislature actually voting to keep the language as is. The rest of us will go to town with that.
