He hasn’t forgotten that reception he got last year when he bogarded his way into the services held at the King Center in the ATL. All those Black people yelling and screaming at him, because he’d just nominated Alito for the Supreme Court – a guy who is a certain vote to rollback Civil Rights gains whenever the opportunity presents itself. Many people, myself included, considered Bush’s visit to King’s grave a form of pissing on his grave.

He stayed in Washington so he could play-act like a House Negro for a day, and not get his feelings hurt.
