I think it’s funny that he’s pioneering the presidential-meeting-of-the-idols, but he was the first incumbent president in history* to flat out deny MTV an interview, with no explaination given.  I was REALLY looking forward to that interview. 

*Well, in MTV’s history, anyway.

HUBBA!

Bless you, Brother Andy. Bless you.

But Ann Coulter says Clinton is gay!

Yeah, I really don’t get that argument. Although, it does make it possible that we’ve had our first “gay” and “black” president.

yeah, I still just don’t see it.  Yes, she HAS boobs, but so do a lot of GUYS.  Now, you wanna see some knockers…

Everybody run!

Ann Coulter does not understand the black male mystique.

Okay, that begs a sort of serious question that has confounded me for a few years now. I don’t remember who it was, but years back someone declared that Bill Clinton was the first black President. Why weren’t black communities offended by that since, regardless of whether you like his politics or not, Clinton is most certainly not black. He just another white boy who has had even more privileges and perks than the average white boy.

When we have a black President (and female President, for that matter) it will be something to celebrate in that it will show a willingness in the American voting public that current wisdom says is impossible. Let’s whisper quietly for a second and note that the wisdom says that you can’t be Jewish or Muslim or Mormon and win the office, either. When the public is willing to break out of that straight jacket, that open-mindedness will be something to be happy about. I hope that whomever is that standard bearer will be a person to celebrate, too.

But, anyway, back to the point, why wasn’t that proclamation--so obviously not true--a source of offense? Not at Clinton because, I’m pretty sure, he isn’t the guy that said it; but at such an obnoxious claim.

Maybe I don’t understand something about the context or the statement, but it always disturbed me a little.

In the south, white and black people have always been enmeshed in their culture. Wilson Pickett had white, backup musicians. I thought it was said that Bill Clinton was black, because how he could get a black church congregation to say “Amen” and get into that call and answer. It has to do with his manerisms. His non-political conversations with Vernon Jordan. That is where my last comment came from.
