Edward Brooke, the first black U.S. senator since Reconstruction, has died. He was a Republican like they used to make 'em: urged Nixon to resign, supported public housing and school busing (in Massachusetts!) and the ERA, sexed up Barbara Walters. You know: the good old days![contextly_sidebar id="KN01QNjHvh3YcWgSkI6fxx9ivWOnsK8x"]
Bawbwa Wahwah and Edward Brooke? What is the modern equivalent, Scott Brown and Megyn Kelly?
Lynne Cheney? Oh, you meant race.
If he could run today as a black R, with those policies, the collective GOP head would explode. Makes me miss him even more.
So, is it TWUE what they say about how his people are...gifted?
Beat me to it, dammit. It had to be said: "It's twue!"
Sometimes the jokes write themselves, and other times, ... um... the bar eats <i>you</i>.
Now stop sucking on my elbow.
