Memo from PC Central to all 2008 presidential aspirants:

The following adjectives must NOT, repeat NOT be used in reference to Senator Barack Obama, as they are considered racially inflammatory:

articulate; bookish; clean; courteous; devout; entrepreneurial; faithful; generous; hard-working; honest; intelligent; law-abiding; responsible; self-assured.

Nor should any reference to the qualities described by these adjectives be expressed indirectly (e.g. “good husband and father”). References to Senator Obama’s dancing or athletic ability, either direct or indirect (“sense of rhythm,” etc.) must also be scrupulously avoided.
