- - - - - U.S. Rep. Corrine Brown (D - Jacksonville, FL) - - - - -
According to the Florida Times-Union, U.S. Rep. Corrine Brown (D - Jacksonville, FL), verbally attacked a Bush administration official during a briefing on the Haiti crisis on Wednesday (yesterday).
Rep. Brown, who is black, called President Bush's policy on Haiti "racist", and referred to the Administration's representatives as "a bunch of white men".
The Administration's representative, Roger Noriega, a Mexican-American, is the State Department's top official for Latin America.
Noriega later told Brown "As a Mexican-American, I deeply resent being called a racist and branded a white man", to which Brown responded "you all look alike to me".
OK, folks, what do you want to bet Congresswoman Brown gets a free ride on this?
I'd be willing to bet large money (maybe as high as fifty cents!) that her collegues in the House of Representatives won't say word one to her, for fear of being branded "racist".
Another fifty cents says that Reverend Al, and Reverend Jesse, for a change, will keep their big mouths firmly shut.
Well, without more evidence, I won't label her racist.
I will label her rude, uncouth, insensitive to the feelings of others, and at least partially lacking in manners.
After I research her speeches and her voting record in the House, I may change my tune.
Feedback?
