Irish Lies Are Smiling
Is it possible to be sick of the 2004 presidential race already? Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) explains that, no he never claimed to be Irish. Kerry not Irish. OK.
Except he gave a St. Pat's Day shoutout back in 1986. Whatever. Let's call him black just to watch Al Sharpton and Carol Moseley Braun ignite. (Where did the hyphen go? Like a commuter campus gone upmarket.)
This can't end soon enough.

Why not? Bill Clinton was "Our First Black President."
Isn't Bush Arabic?
No, Bush is a Connecticut-born, New England-educated "Texan".
George W. Bush WAS born and raised in Texas. His parents were from New Englad-I forget wereever from Conneticut or Maine.
