Slavemaster of the House
Editor’s note: I know this issue is pretty much over after today, but I couldn’t help myself when I remembered this today
My Indiana Democratic friends have been having a field day (well actually three field days) with Secretary of State Todd Rokita’s remark about Blacks and their relationship with the Democratic Party. You all know by now Rokita said blacks vote Democratic 90 percent of the time and he wondered who’s the master and who’s the slave in that relationship.
The Dems have expressed outrage, and Black House Democrats have officially accepted his apology. But never let be it said what good for the goose is good for the goose’s domestic partner.
On May 5, Steny Hoyer, the U.S. House Majority Leader is the keynote speaker at the annual Indiana Democrats Jefferson-Jackson Day Dinner.
Hoyer put his foot in his mouth during the last election he called the Black Republican Candidate for the U.S. Senate in Maryland a slave. Actually he said, “Steele slavishly supported the GOP.”
To be fair, Hoyer did apologize for his remarks. But you have to admit it’s kind of funny that Democrats jumped all over someone for using the term slave, only to have invited someone to speak at their most important annual dinner who did the same thing.
Editor’s Note: Don’t worry D’s, the Marion County GOP’s day is coming tomorrow when I write about their ad nauseum opposition to consolidation.
