Saint Juan!


OK, enough of this already! Juan, we all agree; maybe NPR should not have fired you. Censoring someones speech is never cool. But Juan, you have got to stop the woe is me pity party that you keep throwing over there at Radio Rwanda. We get it! You are their token Negro, and they love you. (How much head patting can one Negro take?) But it's getting a bit pathetic now.

BTW, I know folks call me a racism chaser, but are there any bigger racism chasers in A-merry-ca than the Radio Rwanda folks? Now they are throwing the race card into your firing? Come on, Juan, for the sake of all that is decent; please make them stop!

"..It's a howling double standard. The standard being applied to Juan Williams is manifestly not being applied to other NPR people. And I think it is simply this, that in the culture of NPR, appearing on Fox is a sin. And in the culture of NPR, for an African American man like Juan, regardless of his extraordinary stature, to be there and be kind of a Bill Cosby liberal, not a down-the-line liberal, is a sin as well. They have been gunning for him for years. These remarks about Muslim garb at airports was merely a pretext. They have been wanting to get him, and got him, and in so doing exposed themselves for who they are..."

Huh? WTF is a "Bill Cosby Liberal"? Leave it to these clowns at Radio Rwanda to take this to a whole other level. See what you are causing, Juan? Although, hey, maybe you love being the new martyr of the right. A regular Catherine Of Alexander. You are the new wingnut saint of victim- hood. And if it's one thing we know that wingnuts love to do is play the victim role. They are victim experts.

Finally, I can't let a post go without taking one more shot at my man, Uncle C.

"He was always actively watching the women he worked with to see if they could be potential partners," McEwen told the Post, adding that he was particularly "partial to women with large breasts" and even would ask woman about their bra size.

"He was obsessed with porn," McEwen also said of Thomas, a claim that is particularly relevant to Hill's allegations that the then-chairman of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission had repeatedly relayed scenes from pornographic movies to her. "He would talk about what he had seen in magazines and films, if there was something worth noting," McEwen continued.

As for why McEwen has decided to break her silence now, the Post explains that the woman who partook in Thomas's "freewheeling sex life" between 1981 and 1986 has a story to tell.

She has written a memoir, which she is now shopping to publishers. News broke that the justice's wife, Virginia Thomas, left a voice mail on Hill's office phone at Brandeis University, seeking an apology -- a request that Hill declined in a statement. After that, McEwen changed her mind and decided to talk about her relationship with Thomas."

Maybe Virginia should be calling Ms. McEwen and not Ms. Hill. Sounds like she is going to be doing more damage to Uncle C's legacy. *shaking head*

Still, you know what's shameful about all of this? That Uncle C's proclivity to get his freak on is clouding a more serious and potentially scandalous issue: The fact that his wife is a right wing activist who raises millions of dollars to support causes that are connected to cases that her husband, the supreme court justice, has to hear. That is the shame of all of this. But here in A-merry-ca we don't care, because we have gotten used to such sleaziness. And no, I am not talking about Uncle C's breast fetish.
