Political Opportunism - Part 3

Quick... name the two biggest political stories of today. Right, Hurricane Katrina and John Roberts. What, other than the coincidence they're in the news at the same point in time, do they have in common? Nothing, you say? As Ed McMahon ,might have told Johnny Carson, "Wrong-oh, M-S-M Breath". Leave it to the DemocRATS to figure how to use an act of nature against a nominee to the Supreme Court. It's all in black and white on Boston.com (the web site of the Boston Globe):

"The scenes of devastation featuring primarily poor African-American residents in New Orleans have highlighted the widening gap between rich and poor, said Senator Edward M. Kennedy, Democrat of Massachusetts.

"With Roberts having urged a narrow interpretation of civil rights laws in the past, Senate Democrats will link the scenes of economic hardship with the constitutional and legal issues that surround efforts to address racial and economic inequalities, he said."

Do Senator Kennedy and his Democrat colleagues automatically believe ALL poor people are black? Does he only see things as black and white and as opportunities to divide rather than unite?

What. A. Load. Of. Crap.
