Mitt Romney Knows Nuthin’ ‘Bout Using No Racial Epithets
While speaking at a republican fundraising event, Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney used a racial epithet to describe the controversial big dig construction project.
“The best thing politically would be to stay as far away from that tar baby as I can,” he told a crowd of about 100 supporters in Ames, Iowa.
Romney, a potential presidential candidate in 2008, apologized for the statement, saying he was unaware that ’some people’ found the term ‘tar baby’ offensive.
“I was talking to my black friend just the other day,” Romney added. “I told him he was one the smartest tar babies I knew and he didn’t look offended at all. He simply went on about his business of shining my shoes. I love that guy; he knows his place and doesn’t try to sleep with my daughters. Wish I could remember his name. Regardless, he shines shoes with the best of them!”

Wow, what an Asshole!
He makes me ashamed to be from Massachusetts. At least I can proudly say I didn’t vote for him.
