    "Magic Negro" - proof that the conservative media has been spending too much time in World of Warcraft and Second Life.

    "Negro" was the accepted term in the early 60's, when I learned the English language from hyper-non-racist parents. I don't use the term now, but why is it so offensive?

    @Mrs. DeLesseps To You, Dahling: It's not offensive per se... just antiquated.


    The "magic Negro" comes from a movie sterotype, where the Black character is wise and sage and he/she helps the White character find himself or something.

    When your rhetorical ace in the hole is "listen to Rush's explanation," you may well have shot your intellectual wad.

    Crikey, what a wicked stupid bitch, shrilly defending the indefensible. Really, Tamryn Hall!

    So, so kidding. I meant the frightening snapper turtle in the sea-foam Mary Tyler Moore turtleneck and Riddler jacket lecturing two African-Americans why "Negro" isn't offensive. In A.D. 2008. What sort of rustic Pentecostal funny farm do they get people like this woman?


    As for Tamryn Hall, I adore her, my girl-crush of the year. The things she could've said, oh my. Call me, Tamryn.

    Do you think Obenshain would be offended if someone sang a song about her and called it "Kate the Magic Cracker?

    Ah, Kate Obenshain. She was head of Virginia's Republican Party for a while. Shrill, she is.


    I don't get how anyone is defending that song. And anyone who'll let herself be trotted out on national TV to be the defender ... well, she can't be thinking of a future political career, is all.

    @Nicorette: Can't agree with you more here. Seriously, the GOP does not seem to be enjoying either their time in the wilderness or the state of play in the U.S. Kept waiting for her to shout something about 9/11, oddly.
