All Republicans ever hear about race is that the GOP isn’t inclusive enough. And, whenever conservatives question the merits of Democratic diversity-mongering we’re told that we “just don’t get it” or that we’re insensitive or racist. But, whenever the GOP reaches out to blacks, they’re told that those blacks “don’t count.” That was the message of that tired fossil Harry Belafonte when he called Colin Powell a house slave and it was the message of the establishment media’s assault on the GOP Convention’s “diversity” theme. And, it is the message of an editorial from last Sunday’s Baltimore Sun endorsing Kathleen Kennedy Towsend. They wrote:

“By contrast, Mr. Ehrlich’s running mate, state GOP chairman Michael S. Steele, brings little to the team but the color of his skin. His choice was a calculated move by Mr. Ehrlich, made all the more crass when it was discovered that Mr. Steele is being paid by the GOP as a “consultant” to run.”

I do hope that Mr. Steele remembers this the next time the Sun asks for an interview with the new Lt. Governor. He can send them a picture of his butt and tell them they can kiss it or, better yet, admire its pigmentation — since that’s all he has to offer in their eyes anyway.
