You know things have gotten bad when even Howard “I Have a Scream”<\/a> Dean feels entitled<\/a> to pull it (without bothering to understand that Shirley Sherrod was fired by the Obama Administration before supposedly “racist” Fox News had even referenced her name).\u00a0 Fox News commentator Juan Williams, who is actually one of the less-insane liberals in public discourse, unfortunately seemed to resort to it yesterday<\/a> on “Fox News Sunday.”\u00a0 Commenting on new ethical charges<\/a> against Rep. Charles Rangel (D – New York) and Rep. Maxine Waters (D – California), Williams immediately raised the issue of the two defendants’ race.\u00a0 Why in the world should that be the immediate consideration while discussing these serious charges?<\/p>\n Too bad that former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay didn’t think of this.\u00a0 Hey, if Howard Dean can try it, why not DeLay?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Pulling the race card is beginning to carry about as much cachet as Y2K alerts.
